It's almost certainly Sky.
Mong pointed this out, but I think Sky types "gg" twice at the end of the match to signal that he threw.
(Watch the WEGL games where he loses to Sea, and then watch the ASL 5 Eyewater vs Sky game 2) I'm not convinced of the 2x gg thing. Considering how closely fans watch for matchfixing in the post-savior era and how commonly any misplay/weird game is accused of being a throw online, if you were going to signal a throw, you'd do it in some way that was more subtle than a massive red flag that could be easily used to compare to similarly thrown games.
why would you even signal it? if you lose, you lose, and the fix is in
let's stop with the pointless, stupid speculation and just stick to what the news reports say

could you update OP with a link to the article that actually has those quotes, please

Glad I'm not really invested anymore with BW being dead. Still sad that it's someone from former OZ...

Can we just make sure we read:
A protoss pro gamer is suspected of losing on purpose in (Wiki)WEGL Starcraft Remaster Super Fight
SUSPECTED. Please do not start a witchhunt until anything is confirmed.

Yeah, reading this thread was quite sad. Lots of people are jumping to conclusions and speculate into weird directions. Wait for actual information.

I was always proud thinking Toss players were able to stay away from match fixing. God damn, if this is true, Sky.
After seeing the VOD no wonder Stork was angry.
Is Sea suspected as well?

Welcome to online comunities, where everyone has the moral high ground from the people they follow.

As far as I know, Sky is the only gamer whose identity has been indirectly revealed via the information in the article (tournament, protoss, etc). That said, he hasn't been convicted or directly identified yet. It could be that he was the only one. We can hope.

If he was only suspected of it he would not have been arrested
|
Match fixing is becoming commonplace in esports. Starcraft is the granddaddy but it's starting to get ridiculous
|
I hope the effect on the community won't be too bad after this incident, but I think that is a pipe dream :/.

Thanks. I was just afraid as I remember gossip having it that Sea streamed together with a shady guy and might have accepted illegal betting money and Sky played against Sea. I hope he knows where to draw the line.
Just saw the links. I'll read up before posting again.

Brilliant news to wake up to.

I haven't been following bw much lately but still sad to hear this news. Hopefully it was relatively isolated to just Sky...

Not talking about immorality of the matchfixing... Who the f...ck trust illegal betting sites for keeping discretion? There will be always a butthurt loser that can anonymously snitch the man just becouse of spite. Do they really think that shit like that can be hidden forever?
