This was on how much minnows of matchfixing made. People who were ringleaders/organizers made much more due to exploiting betting system.
Famous case was Justin, who was ringleader and organizer for much of matchfixing incident, especially in Sparkyz.

Justin was central broker and enabler for matchfixing but he wasn't as famous as SaviOr, so he got away with much more. He had been fined $3000 for his crimes but he's famously gotten away scot-free, and were rumored to have made millions off of fixing matches (betting on top of matchfixing) which apparently according to Hiya is true. It's been rumored he has at spent $200k+ on lawyers alone. He has made enough to at least have paid to have his name scrubbed internet clean as he doesn't show up much under Naver search engine anymore.

As for go.go, he later tried to make return to streaming but he bullying ByuL over here was his latest seeing since his stream wasn't too popular and quit soon after: + Show Spoiler +

sad.

sounds like a bunch of impressionable kids who didnt know any better, and were living in subhuman teamhouse conditions subsisting on packaged noodles and MSG.

they were probably desperate to get one lick from the silver spoon, and were easily exploited by some relatively mature and unscrupulous bad actors.

stork explains the process bit more in detail here
https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/532108-stork-on-how-sc2-match-fixing-happened

sc2 but it should be similar to how bw one happened
yea, the smart/mature ones pockets/makes more money than presented while the minnows gets a lot of blame. But also one of reason you can't take in fine amount/punishment amount at face value since it may have been much more than it is presented to be.

When you hear the stories about the kind of life those kids were subjected to, it’s really hard not to feel sorry and at least a bit understanding of the ones who slipped. The video in the other thread was describing stuff that was just pure abuse. I don’t know how anyone is expected to be mature while chained to a computer 14 hours a day from his teenage.
