Exactly my thought as well. Tell the same thing a second time and your opponent will be even more suspicious. That's exactly what mind games are, not just plain lying as some people here seem to think... I wouldn't even care if they rigged it, it was an unimportant tournament anyway and both got to the final easily. Offer better competition and the players might actually care. | ||

Its just plain and simple. except for the fact that they chatted like that in front of thousands of people is the one thing that isnt questionable, theres proof of that. | ||

Instead as we saw, #1 they treated it like an exhibition and didn't try hard (the players admitted this) and #2 the likely rigging. | ||

Yea I saw the video What I meant was it was just an mind trick. Most progamers do this often right before the game. So many noobs just dont understand the mind games of progamers. | ||

What we call rigging, they call mind games. You can't prove otherwise so I think everyone should JLIG and move on. | ||

Calm is a pussy if he really rigged the matches, he has no heart for not wanting to win that when hes in the finals. Dont invite them anymore, if they really rigged it they wont be good players for long anyway, their desire will fade away and theyll start to suck when they face some adversity. | ||

i've done this kind of talk to friends before i understand the freakout of the community, but everyone should just let 'em go imo. i highly doubt they rigged IEST when they are BOTH in the finals? i mean it just doens't make any sense | ||

Yes it happened and it shows a lack of respect to the tournament, but as everything in life there's a difference between knowing the truth and proving the truth. Just unofficially exclude Hwasin and Calm from future foreigner tournies like these and hope to avoid a similar situation. | ||

Even if they deny it forever that is fine, the disrespect they have shown is enough to AT LEAST do as RowdierBob suggested, ban them from future events and plan for a better tomorrow. | ||

Your version of the truth is different to theirs though. What you call rigging they call mind games and you cannot prove this otherwise. I'm not saying the games weren't rigged becasue I believe they were, but it something the community cannot prove short of Hwasin and Calm admitting it themselves. Take Davydenko in the tennis for example. Everyone knows he was tanking games as part of that betting scandal, but they can't prove it. | ||
