Short of accusing straight collusion, I wonder if it was something like 0-3 or 0-4 for 910, and then he stopped trying, to be certain he'd at least have to get treated to a very nice meal by go.go. But then again, the prize money increases in the later games, so there's incentive to play each one.

I think that's unlikely, a meal from go.go is worth a lot less than $900 for winning game 7. I guarantee these two were in cahoots.

a 50/50 split from a 7-0 series will be higher than anything they can get from straight up play. look at the payout structure.

But Savior...

I hope Yaoyuan is merciful. Or at least that there are VODs. If you play enough games you have to win some of them, is what I always say. And by always I mean that is the first time.

Money from this tournament aside, I have a hard time believing that 910 would be willing to immediately subject himself to, what will amount to be, never ending ridicule over being 7-0'd. Anything he does from hereonforth is pointless, and anything he has accomplished before (though not much) has been eradicated. He is "0-7" boy, and that's a pretty hefty title to willingly bring upon yourself...

910 obviously threw the games. No pro in the 10 year history of starcraft has ever ever lost 7 televised games to anyone without winning a single game, regardless of what kind of monstrous skill gap existed. Let alone 910 losing 7-0 on a single night in a mirror matchup to a similarly skilled player who, before this series, actually has a flawless 2-0 record against.

The pay structure pays out exponentially for anyone going on a 7-0 streak, and it's so stupidly obvious they set this up to split the money.

910 throwing this was so obvious it's not even debatable.
