EPTDespite what he did, he was and probably still is the best zerg to ever grace Starcraft. Jaedong was amazing as well, but Savior took a race nobody really understood at all and he dominated. If I think of Broodwar and think of Zerg, I think of Saviour, July and Jaedong, despite what happened.

By the way, Lee Seung Won stated that MBC Game did not have to disband but was forced to due to the channel's director. Apparently MBC Game was still pretty well off at the time compared to some other MBC channels, but the director told the channel to stop doing special events that were the main source of channel's income, then when MBC Game started losing money because of it, used it as excuse to replace it with MBC Music. Thought I should mention this tidbit since this seems to be information not widely known. Still doesn't change Savior nearly killed the Korean e-sported industry and is unrepentant about it. | ||

We are not forgiving Savior because he is not convincing me he has changed for the better. Ignoring his prominent role in match-fixing, let me list all the dumb things Savior has done since his debut in Afreeca, besides his general unrepetent attitude:

And I would like to argue that those special events were shut down because of match fixing. Or rather, match fixing had something to do with MBCGame shutting down Source: http://www.fomos.kr/gnuboard4/bbs/board.php?bo_table=talk_gossip&wr_id=441361 You're correct on the money part. They had income. Rather, the producers of this particular show explains that its the other factors that forced MBCGame to shut down, as they were doing well financially. | ||

The guy was at least 21 when he made his decision, he knew fully well what he was doing. Matchfixing (of a different sort) shut down WC3 in Korea, so it's not like there wasn't any precedent either. Just read the Boxer and Savior interview, and feel the disgust afterwards .. fuck him | ||

Then there's a few defenders but they never come with anything concrete and good to say about the guy. Instead they just give random statements like "people change" "time to forgive" "good now" "stop hate". It should be enough for reasonable people. Look how big part of e-Sports community moved to LoL after the death of BW proscene | ||

Nobody who cared about BW scene supports Savior's actions, of course, but we continue to admire him for his unparralled achievements before. People who want to remember only bad things are not rational in mind. | ||

But he specifically states he believes that Savior has changed and I ask for some examples (of his behaviour) that would back that claim. If you think "People change" and "someone who played BW plays LoL now" is enough of a proof that a specific person has changed for the better, then you need a reality check or something. jesus | ||

Now people support these companies like it didn't happen at all, but refuse to forgive Savior at the same time. That's hypocrisy, at best. Maestro was unique. at least. Doesn't matter what he represents now. All idols fall, reality checked. | ||

I doubt many people on this forum love Blizzard either with risk of being called elitist. Riot has not deliberately acted to damage Brood War pro-scene. Most importantly, Blizzard and Riot have not done criminal activity. w/e I can see our viewpoint are incompatible. | ||

It was Blizz's and Savior's actions that brought the abrupt, early end of the BW pro-scene, and Savior's actions had wider impact on eSports as a whole in Korea. Riot has nothing to do with this | ||

You're either high or delusional, you quote my posts but I have no idea where this "conversation", which it really isn't, is possibly going next. Guess we'll never find out anyway because I really don't want to risk permanent brain damage. | ||
