that explains how jaedong lost to baby a few months ago xd


If you are a true Jaedong fan, you will hope to god, that he lost because he was outplayed, and not because he took a bribe.

honestly it may sound weird, but rek gained a toooon of respect in my book. He kinda comes of as an arrogant douche in most of his posts, but I can really feel he is a somewhat morally respectable person deep inside from this video. If thats a trend, he should be really nice to meet in person ^^

haha, it's funny, because on the other Rekrul-thread I said that only some Savior-losses could be blamed on throwing matches and not his entire slump, seeing that most people would bet against him. However, with the possibility of him betting against himself, something that was casually ruled out in the original thread, it puts things into perspect. It was quite funny how I just made it through the list of all of Diggity's commentaries, went back to the top of his uploads list, the most recent ones, watched some matches and ended up watching Best vs Savior in Winners League from the end of Janauary. Here, I just couldn't help thinking how Saviour looked very cold and calculating and at the same time didn't really seem to care. His decision-making was so horrible that I couldn't help constantly thinking that he was doing it on purpose.

My innocence has been ruined! :o


id guess winners league matches are less likely to be rigged because theres no way for betting sites to know what the matchups are going to be beforehand. the only betting opportunities would be the first set and who wins the series, so savior would have to be betting against cj to have any incentive to lose. maybe he just doesnt care whether he wins or loses


Good point. I don't know if these illegal betting sites allow for betting on hypothetical match-ups, but you are probably right. My point was that even though I thought this for me as a viewer would be neglectible, it still gave me a hard time when watching. A lot of the meta-talk also becomes polluted, and I might have to engage in the argument that Savior's slump was produced from this myself, which diverts attention from the many wonderful things in the games.

Hopefully, we will forget this soon, and carry on in life as usual
I am not sure what to say

The ones who doubted are obviously new people who hasn't known him or to this site. Rekrul just brought things early to the table. The "newbies" just needed to be patient and not demand proof. Just needed to wait. I wish we can mark these people by going through these two threads so I can skip their pointless postings/arguments while browsing. These people are like trying to show people they're making a new discovery with math but end up with showing us the same shit we already know eg. 1 + 1 = 2 again.

you obviously don't follow the korean websites. Trust me, the naver's, fomos, etc. will NOT post that kind of stuff on a whim.

I was one of them, mark me.

What did Rekrul do? He gave rumors we gathered by korean Fansites one day afterwards. What an accomplishment! I gotta admit I liked the way he did it though. Getting drunk and brag, that's entertainment. David Hasselhoff style.

But we shouldn't thank him too much.

Plus, I can't emphasize this enough: We have to be careful not to witchhunt. Rumors =/= Facts.

Has anyone gone back and rounded up a bunch of vods where players lost game suspiciously?
I'd like to see some. I actually remember a game from long time ago (before all this shit came to light) about 2 players they were playing so bad versus each other and someone joked that they were both trying to throw the game. (might have involved stork and been a pvp ?)
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Some people already mentioned that. I think it was in WCG and Stork tried to lose so he could avoid Hwasin. It didn't involve betting, it was just player dodging.

When it comes to savior, potentially his skins match vs flash (went 3-0, then lost the next 4), I mean its flash. but it was 2008, so its not inconceivable. Get the money from winning the three games, win more money from throwing the last 4. Again, it vs flash, so it could be legit.

That game vs FBH on RH3 where he did that nooby attack. His games in the prelims:

His games vs Bisu even (Yes I mean the MSL finals). Its basically impossible to guess savior's strength since 2007-2008. If he made 2mil (assume 5k a game), thats at least 40 games. Considering hes only played ~150 games since 2008, thats at least ~25% of his games thrown.

Savior games that should be considered upsets:
2009:
Bubble (Fall OSL prelims)
Bogus (Spring OSL prelims)
Young (PL)

2008:
ggaemo (Winter OSL prelims)
Nada 0-2 (clubday MSL)
Pusan (Fall OSL prelims)
GOMTV Invitational matches

2007:
Ruby (PL)
Mind??(MSL) <- can't remember those games well, and mind was awesome at the time... (more vs P than Z)
Hwasin??(WCG) <- Hwasin vs Z, but this is savior at what should be near peak.
FBH (MSL) <- from memory, there were several times savior could have won (game 3 particularly I think)
Boxer (PL)
iloveoov/calm (superfight)



You have to remember.... that superfight that savior ridiculously dominated? the one where he basically carried CJ on his back and single handedly killed all the other teams? That was Jan 2007. So I was much more willing to include bigger names for the early part of that year. And I left all the Bisu/FBH games off because, well..... CONSPIRACY THEORY ALERT:+ Show Spoiler +
I still think his sudden slump after his games vs bisu/FBH are suspicious. But maybe bisu would win anyways. Who knows. Would be a hell of a start if the first match he threw was MSL finals though lol.


Actual vods I'm suspicious of (extreeeemely hard to tell. Claim this is biased/subjective and you'll probably be right. But these are my guesses)
http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/games/10552_firebathero_vs_sAviOr
http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/games/10694_FrOzen_vs_sAviOr
GOM S2 (Games 2&3 vs free)
http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/games/8517_Chalrenge_vs_sAviOr < this game was fucking pathetic. I'm just going from memory. Its bad enough I never want to watch it again.

People who say he wouldn't throw the final against (P)Bisu are naive (I'm not saying he did for sure but it would be entirely possible). He would get a huge payout betting on a 0-3 result, which he could 100% guarantee. I wouldn't be surprised if he could have made six figures in USD on that alone. Bisu turned out to be strong against Zerg but people didn't know that at the time of the series. Savior never changed his strategy against Bisu, even though he was getting owned by the build.

Also, it's not very profitable to get lazy and play like shit. The best is to play well, look very strong and promising and then lose games that should be easy wins. (Z)Luxury looks very suspicious for this reason. (P)BeSt and (T)UpMaGiC as well.
