g1 vs shuttle - was a really good game, sky won g2 vs shine - shine went for a really sick allin and sky almost held it, i was actually surprised at how well he microed, thought it would have been a much easier win for shine g3 vs shuttle - this is the only sketchy match because it was a b.o loss, that said sky would have had to plan the throw w/ shuttle and i don't see an incentive for shuttle to match fix, he's already one of the most popular streamers on afreeca and makes a ton of money edit: i dunno about his g-star matches tho, havnt seen them | ||

Why? Does Stork have something to do with this? Anyone who speaks Korean please translate anything you find out and post it here. | ||

Disgusting. The only way he could possibly think he could get away with this after 3 other scandals in BW and SC2 is if: A: Other people got away with matchfixing. B: Sky knew about these players getting away with it and thought he could some quick cash by doing the same. If not then he's incredibly stupid to think he can beat the system after over a dozen people got caught in the past. | ||

"luxury pc bang" sounds like such an oxymoron  | ||
