Exactly for that reason. They can't make money right now. Match fixing is easy money.

Match fixing happens within every big sport. Just remember that it's a minor amount of games (< 0.1% prob) that are match fixed, and that ASL/Korea have very strict laws on this. This is not a big deal.

It matters how the media/sponsors react to it

Agree If you have shady events like recently in the grecian football it will hurts the reputation a lot and it doesnt matter if it is only 1 of 1000,10k or 1kk games

I wonder what Jaedong said, considering it's his former teammate.

You would need a massive scandal involving a bunch of players to actually shake the faith of dedicated BW viewers...which is when sponsors would pull out. That's why Savior hurt so bad, it had people thinking: "well if a bonjwa would do it...who else?" + Show Spoiler +
and SC2/Blizzard hurt BW more than matchfixing ever did anyway


But if this is just Sky? lol get banned cya!

Sky is not a top tier player, so this should't scare away sponsors. People like to make stuff like this bigger than it is just to create unnecessary drama. Just like the media wants people to freak out people because 0.000012% of the population died in the last week or w/e the case is. Keep watching ASL like nothing happened, and literally nothing will happen?

Idk mb i'm missing something here, but this doesnt seem like 'bw deded' news

That's just an emotional statement because you like em. I love JD, i wouldn't think he would ever do something like that either but that's again just an emotional statement.
Let's hope no big names did it though

I believe without an unreasonable doubt that Sky during the suspected game for match fixing gave an unnecessary advantage by placing his stargates there in order to help the Terran win. A move like that is something you would expect from a low level player. This hurt's our scene, but the true concern I have is in how this information was acquired. It seems someone blew a whistle from within the organized crime syndicate, and their lives are whom I am most concerned for. Especially those around Sky.

I do wonder how many football games are semi-rigger (its hard to rig when there is 11 players). Greed and manipulation is not exclusive to Starcraft.

In many ways, Starcraft might be ahead of the curve because matchfixers are getting caught. Surely it happens in every other game or sport right?

I'd say generally, the more money is in a sport the less likely match fixing happens. Most betting sites aren't going to be able to pay the football players enough to lose a game. On the other hand, doping is another whole issue on major league sports.
