Is Sea suspected as well? Nobody but Sky is SUSPECTED as of now. Please don't mention anyone else unless something is confirmed. It really is going to turn to hell in here. | ||

Considering that most of the offences occured last year, it's a shame it couldn't have all come out a week ago before the tournament started. Oh well, due process needs to take its course and they can't plan out criminal investigations on tournament schedules. At least it came out early in the tournament. I reckon that the community will move past this and enjoy the tournament. Starcraft always goes on. thanks for keeping us updated on this lemmata. | ||

Maybe in Korea it's different, but in the United States you get arrested when you're suspected of a crime, and you get convicted if there's no reasonable doubt of your guilt. | ||

Yes I did law and I am in Korea They can bring him in and they can question him, and make an arrest on suspicions sure, but they wouldn't make a very public arrest without having something pretty certain. Perhaps I could have worded it better, he hasn't been slam-dunk convicted or anything but they certainly have more than just suspicions Read the news articles and it seems pretty certain | ||

Sea got one through his facebook before during ASL, but he said he told him he will report to police if the matchfixer keeps contacting him. Sea also said these matchfixing brokers are people who are close, like someone you would know coming up to ask you for favor of "throwing a game". Larva never got one at all. | ||

1) First, matchfixers entice players with "not really matchfixing" bets such as game over by X minutes- so people do all in to end game at X minute regardless of if they lose or not 2) Second, brokers got hold of weakness (particiation in betting), makes progamers lose/throw game of them under threat of exposing them. Now brokers have control of progamers fully. 3) snowballs into full blown matchfixing system elaborated here: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/84lm1n/stork_on_how_sc2_matchfixing_happened/ | ||
