Ah, alright my bad. Do you really think he wouldn't have been able to keep playing if he really wanted to though? And I guess their situation was 100x more serious as well. But now I'm just off on a tangent I will go to bed D:

Hey guys
What about some proofs before we start accusing an entire group of players based on their country?
|
As a guy who never cheats, but has played against cheaters in many games, from many countries I will say this. Every country has it's bad eggs, Russia(I'm Russian), China, Korea, USA, Canada, Brazil, etc... some countries have more some countries have less. There are going to be Koreans who have cheated, them getting offended is fine, as they should be. Now what are they going to do about this problem?
To be honest, I believe the best way to deal with this is get rid of the cheaters now. Very few people are like TT1 and actually make a natural real change and stop cheating, it's hard to change yourself, and the temptation might be there for people to do it again. So the best course of action is to kick them off, and let them work hard to improve themselves back. I actually like TT1 more now than I did before, believe it or not he's seen as a hero by some people for being able to change himself into a non-cheater.
Think about these things clearly, how many people do you know fail to quit smoking? How many succeed? Alcoholics, people who cheat in single player games might do it on online, while others will only cheat in single player and never online. We were all raised differently so we all have different standards.
In conclusion, there are cheating Koreans, but chances are whoever is reading this post has cheated in some game in their life themselves,(We tend to point fingers at others but forget about ourselves.) just have you grown out of it? Some people still need to learn.

Also if he knew his players were cheating, why keep them on his team? Also just to bring back what I originally said On June 05 2012 14:21 bokchoi wrote:On June 05 2012 14:16 Daniel C wrote: Unfortunately, no Korean player or coach will ever admit to it (if it's true)...so it's just your word against mine. No offense to Mirhi but his and Artist's words are heresay too. Artist was in fOu briefly before joining RGN so he's lived in maybe one major team house. When Spades went to Korea he lived in the GOM house. Don't see how major/all Korean pro houses stream cheat comes from this. Not to mention, Dragon was kicked out of SlayerS and WeRRa for previously stream cheating. In his statement Mirhi basically accused a majority of, if not all Korean team houses of stream-cheating and claiming that he had proof/accounts, but Mirhi has personally never lived in a single Korean team house, Artist has lived in MAYBE one, and Spades lived in the GOM house where other people living in the house have said it never happened. well maybe you are right. I admit, my main reason for trusting mirhi is not solid, especially if he is just trolling.. The way i saw it, there is no benefit for him to say those things, if they are lies or truth. If he lied, shame on him for that. If he said the truth,shame on him for not saying it earlier. It's a loss-loss, so why say it unless it is actually true... Personally, that lends some credibility to him. At the same time, maybe I am mistaken... i mean I guess I could ask myself, if he didn't expose it earlier, why trust him now... He wanted to bury Spades. However doing so he admitted he knew Spades was cheating during the time he was the manager. He didn't prevent Spades from doing so, which obviously makes him look bad as a person. So he found a backdoor in trying to justify his actions, of oh well uh Artist says it happens all the time. Turns out it was a possible lost in translation issue.

Yeah, why not? We can take a break, then think of something to screw this Mihri guy over. After all, we can't just have people running around and slandering public figures like Leenock (and pretty much all Korean pros). It's just bad policy.

But now I'm just off on a tangent I will go to bed D:
Unfortunately, just the suggestion that SangHo was on a list of players (that at the time hadn't been released to the public but widely speculated) was enough to end his career. People were already starting to harass him, and being tainted with the worst SC:BW scandal forced him to retire. He was extremely lucky that SC2 came out when it did, since otherwise, he would probably have been gone from the scene completely.
If the target was White-Ra, the whole thing would have blown over differently. Right now, after the long standing thread discussing maphacking at the GM level on ladder, the community as a whole was on a trigger waiting for some actual "big name" to be caught. With the evidence provided against Spades by the OP, a lot of people ended up believing the result without actually watching any of the replays, simply because it seemed that it was true because of all the evidence. If it were White-Ra, more people would have put in the effort of watching the replays, and then possibly we would have a real discussion. I mean, consider the number of people who only started to talk about certain aspects of the replay after Catz went over it, many of them which don't absolutely require a GM to see.

Between these two threads, it's pretty evident that TL is thirsty for blood today.

Nah i love this community (atleast a part of it). But i have distanced myself abit from it so i see it from a different perspective now. Maybe it's because i have more important stuff in life right now than to care about online gaming drama.

Seriously... This thread needs to be closed unless some solid evidence is forthcoming. These mass hysterias are destroying people's careers and even, in this case, slandering who knows how many Korean pros. It's been happening on a regular basis now--I think the moderators need to have some sort of policy about containing witch hunts or something, this is crazy.

Many posters here are too young to know of the past hack / cheat hunts in BW.
Was like a fucking crusade.
No reason to not do it in sc2.
Especially with the money involved.

This particular thread isn't a hunt on the Koreans, but the exact opposite. People are having a few laughs with the Korean pro's as they laugh off these bold accusations. This is the aftermath thread of what happens when one person of some significance stumbles on his words.
With coming to a quick decision on they shouldn't stream things live to just prevent potential incidents.

no amount of cheating let leenock win mlg providence, get second at gsl.
maybe he stream cheated at home? maybe not. but the fact that he is REALLY REALLY good and has accomplishments at lan events should not be tarnished. NOBODY EVER SAID LEENOCK CHEATED to advance himself, stop spewing shit. The accusation was that he was giving a player "hints" or helpful tips. My god. then thats up to MLG to deal with. people are making leenock out to be savior.
No one is making Leenock like SaviOr?
