Do you ever get tired of trolling the BW forums?

perhaps you are right, maybe BW was already on the decline before this happened. but he did single-handedly harm the BW scene in an unprecedented way. No other gamer had pissed on what their predecessors had built from scratch so vehemently. you could compare the effects of matchfixing to what FBH's hip thrusting did to savior's career :p

No one is ''inherently bad'', but I do judge people based on their actions, and Savior's actions are not defendable.

Compared to the other match fixers, Savior didn't really have a big part in it. Yes he was a broker, which in Korea some people think it's even worse than actual match fixing. The punishments that were given to Savior were not nearly as severe as the others like Hwasin's and Justin's. The whole scandal entirely brought down BW, not just Savior, he didn't play as big of a part as some people may think. Although the actions he did were still bad and probably unforgivable for most people, I think he should be given a chance to relieve his image.

justin played just as big of a role; the only two progamers that were punished were infact savior and justin. savior never apologized, unlike the others who did, and instead went into hiding. then he started streaming BW to make money, and that's what makes him a scumbag, while the others we can say 'it was a lapse of judgement.'
edit: this is a sensitive issue in the BW scene, so please dont throw around arbitrary statements as if they were facts. hwasin was never punished. I had to double check just to make sure: wiki

The fact that he was the one the most popular bonjwa of all time made the damage worst to the point it can't be recovered.
And you can't deny that he accelerated the process of the scene dying. I'm not blaming on Maregi for the lackluster success of SC2 in Korea, btw.

Who's your all-time favorite player? Who's your hero?
If he/she was involved in something similar, would it help if there were others as well?
When you follow someone as closely as many followed Savior, you begin to idolize and build expectations. When those expectations are crushed, you take it personally.
I'm sure Hwasin and Justin crushed some people too, but Savior is betrayal on a whole other level. He was the esports savior who became the esports destroyer. For some that's not only hard to forget but also almost impossible to forgive.
I'd personally like to see him back in some shape or form (streaming seemed like a good media, people like controversial personalities on streams) but i speak for a minority here.

Justin and Savior got punishments and sentencing, Hwasin and the other progamers got huge fines, which IMO still counts as punishments. If Savior never apologized and streamed for the sole purpose of making money while in 'hiding', then that changes my thoughts.

Which is pretty much what he is doing right now.
He probably ran out of money to buy luxury products.

Just to be clear, I was obviously joking about Liquid`Savior.
But I do think that many tournaments not so well versed in history would welcome him if he had good ladder results / they needed publicity. Maybe not the biggest tournaments, but for a mid-level tournament, can you imagine the ratings bump? And say he wins the tournament, then he has legitimacy as a good player, and things snowball from there.

Yeah I/we know you were joking  Coulda picked a better team for him to have been with though!
(something suitable like EGsavior =O )
Hell, I'd donate to savior if he started SC2ing.

I fully agree with this. You cannot simply judge someone if you never put yourself in that person's shoes. You can label his action as bad and unforgivable, but you can't simply label him as an immoral cold-hearted bastard just because of this. I did a lot of horribly bad things in the past, and if the people around me treated me the same as the korean scene is treating savior, I daresay that i will not have any friends for the rest of my life. Do I regret what I did? Hell yes. But thinking back to why I did the things that I did, and putting myself in my own shoes in those past incidents, I would say 90% that I would do those things again. The point I'm trying to make is that you can't simply label someone as bad just because of one incident.
It's easy for us to judge Savior and say things like he should be put in jail and whatever. But when i put myself in his shoes i find his actions much more forgiving. He's into his 20s and sacrificed all his education and young adulthood into progaming, if I can make some money on the side, whether its match fixing or not, i would have done what he did.

claiming savior "single-handedly" "almost" "killed e-sport" is pathetic. He did it for himself. E-sport falling or not is up to E-sport. It's like claiming any scammer "single-handedly almost killed the internet" or any stealer "single-handedly killed humanity".
People are stupid as always.

How does streaming make him a douchebag? If you're gonna be angry at anyone it should be the viewers who give him money.

I agree with this. The fact that he made a big life mistake...I understand what it's like to have done bad things in the past and it's why I love savior. We all make mistakes, big and small.

Well, its kind of a rude selfish request, but this video is copyright protected in my country. Problem is, i really want to see it badly..
If someone would find the time to upload this elsewhere that would be amazing

i'm pretty upset that people would give him money for streaming, but to each his own, that's not a criminal act.
Esports didn't exist in korea 15 years ago. The entire scene was pioneered from nothing by people who were truly passionate about the game. It was a little niche, a safe haven for those who legitimately loved the game, and wanted to compete/watch others compete. Savior's act of douchebaggery (ie match fixing) was the first big scandal in the scene, and it did massive damage to the still-developing BW scene. The scandal tarnished the image that the scene projects, especially to the older population in Korea, who had never been keen on the idea of their kids getting heavily involved in video games. To the predecessors who helped and watched the scene develop, Savior is an ungrateful prick who milked the cow and tipped it over when he had gotten what he wanted. To run away without a single apology, and then come back and try to make money by streaming BW is like taking a dump on that cow. I dunno at least that's how I feel.
Of course we all make mistakes in life, small and big, but how you handle it after you make that mistake is what shows your true character. What Savior is doing can hardly be called 'owning up'. Truly disappointed as an ex-fan of his.
