Please give sAviOr a break. His days of match fixing were years ago. I was literally finishing secondary school and starting college when he first began to fix matches and I was a vastly different person back then. Based on the fact that people always change, I feel that to indict a person for life based on a scandal like this is going a bit overboard. Just... get over the fact he played in a Chinese tournament already. What's done is done. It's in the past. | ||

Therefore a game in "ESPORTS" can't last for longer than a decade; that wouldn't be as profitable for developers and merchandisers. | ||

Dear Clbull, Did you consider that Savior never apologized for his actions and continues to make money off the game he helped destroy? Ah, why do I bother.. These arguments have been repeated hundreds of times. | ||

Supporting "ESPORTS" seems to be all about supporting whatever developments are most profitable for developers and merchandisers ("for the sake of ESPORTS") You won't hear of football fans being told to cheer for the death of football in favor of Football 2 so a company can sell a new type of balls  | ||

Let's forget about the fact that he didn't serve a single day in jail despite his conviction. Let's just pretend that he is a changed man (although the fact that he has sued people for leaving negative comments about him on web sites suggests otherwise...along with many other facts) We can let him be a part of normal society and treat him like a normal person if we meet him. We can say that he's a good person and stop calling him an asshole. I am fine with that. However, doing that and letting him play in tournaments is a whole different thing. That goes beyond forgiving Savior and extends into the territory of endangering the livelihoods of innocent pro gamers for the sake of "forgiving him". This is another false dichotomy that is often employed in Savior threads. There is actually a middle ground between the two extremes of treating Savior like trash forever and letting him play in BW tournaments. Giving him a second chance at life does not require that we give him a second chance at pro gaming. He can sell cell phones like Ji Young-hoon.

Yeah, it's done, which is why people are calling for Chinese cooperation with future tournaments...which would take effect in the...future. | ||

Kespa is still being a whiny bitch about one of their star players who made a critical mistake in his gaming career because he wants to play in a tournament that's not Kespa sanctioned, and now they're complaining to Papa Bear so he will make sure that their childish actions go through? I understand Kespa is mad at Savior for what he did, but what they're doing right now is out right fucking stupid. You guys created the system that created him, then are mad at him for continuing to play tournaments and showmatch events in a game you trained him to play? He doesn't have other skills, and it's something he was amazing at. If he can't play in Kespa sanctioned tournaments, fine, but don't be childish fucking pricks and attempt to stop him from doing it outside of Korea. I fucking hate Kespa, and I honestly hope they fail. Look, I know they're making Esports in Korea great, but they're oppressors, and are going to be worse for this scene in the long run. Get these fuck tards out of this business please. | ||

Also, when local sports leagues ban someone, it is standard operating procedure to ask the international governing body to enforce these bans across borders. It's certainly not uncommon in soccer. In this case, that governing body happens to be Blizzard. That may seem unnatural because Blizzard is a corporate entity, but it is what it is. It is needed in order to make the bans be effective. | ||
