I'm kinda finding it funny how a lot of this stuff has been speculated about by Korean pros, so they must know something's going on.

The edit was to add in "should"


The thing is he IS still right.

I'm sure Rekrul learned a valuable lesson about sensationalism. It's a good thing he is who he is or this would be a bigger deal than it will end up being.

I think he is forced to right that apology, so obviously it is not sincere. Because he is in Korea, he can be sued for any information on internet.

I am sure if he were in America and coach Lee contacted and demanded apology, he'd laugh to his face and say "fuck off". I'd do that.

You can be sued for this in America too?_?

Especially if he can make a case that this can hamper his career.The only difference is that you are more anonymous.

I guess cross-continental suing is more difficult? Hahaha. Idk, I don't deal with law.

Good post. Glad you are owning up to it.

However, I really didn't like that Chill basically said in the last post: "if you disagree with rekrul but have no evidence it is a bannable offense." Some of the stuff you said in that post really did seem over the top, and a lot of people called you out on it but were for the most part shouted down by moderators and forum vets. Yeah you do provide a lot of inside information.. but even a little research would have shown that some of your info was incorrect (Coach Lee wasn't desperate or whatever - I remember someone pointing to a link that said he ran a pc bang or something).

Also, I think it was a poor choice to delete the thread because now all the posts of the warnings/bans given for no reason are gone and everything I am quoting is from memory. I guess it is in the interest of the TL staff/you, but still kinda shady imo.

Edit:
Edit: having TL delete the entire thread as it is too libelous.


It definitely would have been better to put a disclaimer "THIS INFORMATION IS INCORRECT" at the top of the thread or something and lock it, with a link to this thread.

Yea well I didn't like that Rekrul said bullshit. WTF rekrul?

Edit: I can't overturn bans (only admins can) but they should obviously all be reversed.

Edit 2: It's not something I typically do. Just trusted Rekrul since he has a 100% success rate previous to this. People with no history here won't understand it and it's easy to say told you so. Anyways, sorry about that.


Ehh, they shouldn't be reversed. Maybe reconsidered. Some of them were clearly trolling but that's up to the admins to decide.

I think the OP really fucked up by spreading wrong information that change the image and reputation of coach Lee and yourself. Think about this's the last time that I will ever read anything from you. If you wanna talk shit about others, at least speak the truths and be sure about it, not just I heard blah blah blah on the street.


who cares about what you think of rekrul, honestly? it's extremely condescending the way you wrote "i won't read anything from you again" when all of his previous claims or things hes heard have been correct? if you're going to talk shit and say "im not going to read anything you say blah blah", at least read what rekruls written before, because things like the matchfixing scandal were huge.


I honestly was just laughing at the post. I love how he refers to Rekrul as "the OP." I'll be the first to admit I'm a hardcore SC newbie (only been following SC2 for a year, read about BW history but never followed it). With that in mind, even I know who Rekrul is and that he's not just some scrub you can shrug off when he comes out with info like this.

bold: but he did pull some bullshit off and now apologize for it didn't he?

I don't know Korean Law at all but I'd guess in America it is a lot harder to prove what he said was slanderous. Rekrul could argue that he had good reason to believe what was said about Coach Lee was true and therefore he is completely protected under the law. In Korea, (I think but I don't know), the courts are more sensitive to slanderous things like what Rekrul posted.

Pretty weak IMO. Not really sure how it counts as libel for stating somethings that you think. TBH not sure how any forum post counts as posting facts as this is not really a news site. BUt I guess the laws in Korea are different somehow? Can they get you for a post on a non-Korean internet forum? Weird.

If it's something he thinks is true he should just leave it there, if it isn't what he thinks why post it in the first place? If it was rumors or whatnot just put that in there and you're good. No reason to delete the thread.

I dont believe this. Rekrul has reputation for always being right. I think what happened is Lee read korean version and is blackmailing people again. Isnt spunky doing poker? or in the past sometime? Lee probably blackmailing him saying that 'if I go down, you go down too' (cuz gambling illegal) and spunky tell rekrul to take down post so he doesnt wind up in shit. Why would rekrul post half assed apology so fast and get post delete so quick? It doesnt make sense unless blackmailed.

to apologise is all and well, but don't you think you should refrain from lashing out/rumour-mongering in the future in general chat? there is a blog section....

I love how in the original thread, people got shit all over by the 'veterans' for daring to question whether we could take Rekrul's word as law.

Hopefully this serves as notice to those of you that it's difficult for anyone to write without bias, and that no-one remembers events perfectly.

I'm sorry to see that there were misunderstandings going around. I hope we can get some real transparency around the issues, for the sake of the players involved. I hope any other Korean players or coaches who can confirm this (or deny it, i suppose) will come forward

While Rek was a bit sensationalistic ect, I still think the bulk of his OP still holds merit for us.

I personally doubt he would have retracted any of it, but as soon as I heard someone mention "Korean Netizen" in the op, and as I simultaneously started thinking about Slayers Jessica suing teenagers on twitter... it REALLY doesn't seem out of place for a foreigner in Korea to not want to risk legal trouble and getting sued over gossip, and over something that can be argued as much more defamatory. Rek's a poker player remember? He knows when to fold em' :p

A politician was sued in the UK for posting a defamatory tweet about his opponent. Sued for about 30K pounds iirc. Definitely counts as published in a fair few countries. Just because this is tl and not a news site doesn't make a difference :p.

OR he got a letter/phone call from Lee's lawyer. That seems 10x more likely than spunky is being black-mailed.
