It should be enough for reasonable people.

What does LoL have to do with this argument?
It represents everything BW isn't. It means people change with time or something.
Everyone knows people can change. 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
No. I meant Riot and Blizzard played more significant role in killing BW proscene, like it or not. 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 represent now for me. All idols fall.
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.

He bodied Sea the other day, as a Sea fan but a bigger Bisu fan I was happy, but also sad at the same time, it looked like Sea didn't even have a chance.

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.
Riot paid OGN to promote LOL - it gained success - LoL took part of BW's resources (broadcast schedules, casters, coaches, advertising, etc). And look how they treated Dota which didn't even have that.
Killing BW is legal. Robbing gambling industry is not. I guess people are bitter because of the betrayal, and I agree that "Savior's actions had wider impact on eSports as a whole in Korea". I just don't understand why people can't forget and forgive, because he had done more harm to himself than to other people with this act. And he was outstanding in the past.

I looked at the TLFE page: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlfe/ , but didn't see anything titled " before the fall. " Was he referring to the "god of the battlefield" articles? Or something else?
God of the battlefield is Before the fall (unless I'm mistakes but I don't think I am)

You know I really didn't want to post in this thread, but here I am. He did a lot of harm not only to the scene (look at what map-fixing did to WCIII in Korea), but to all the players he got on board with the scandal. Something tells me that you weren't around for all those threads with regards to the court case and when the CJ Coach heard rumors and approached SaviOr only to be lied to. There are a lot and I do mean a lot of threads on it and it did have an impact like everything else.
It's all about what have you done for me lately and in all honesty he hasn't done much.

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 unrepentant attitude:
Starts paid starcraft lesson for his subscribers, $28.5 per 90 minutes. Nate Sports
Has been shown in multiple occasion to use pirated Starcraft, even ASKING FOR CD KEY for him to use from others.
"I served as a broker but never participated in match-fixing"Fomos
"In this time and age, how long [will one keep playing] 2D game? Brood War is finished."dcinside (during his brief switchover to LoL)
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.

I do not buy the idea that other players wouldn't be matchfixing, if not Savior. It isn't like he blackmailed them into doing it, right? They were partners in crime.

I am sure I wasn't feeling the same way about Savior that time I do now.
It's all about what have you done for me lately and in all honesty he hasn't done much.
I started watching a little bit before the match-fixing scandal, and my impression of the decline of the bw scene (as well as the teams disbanding and MBC switching) happened a decent time after that had died down. I had also thought it was much more a result of politics involving the new games. I would love to see some numbers regarding the viewership, to see if this was the case or my remembering the timeframe is just screwed up.
I am not saying the Savior should be forgiven, but the assertion that he somehow single-handedly killed broodwar seems farfetched, and short-sighted argument. In my opinion its a harmful attitude in general.
In the aftermath Kespa actually started taking actions that would have counteracted match fixing (for which I seem to remember hearing accounts that activities had been going on before saviors involvement). Wouldn't it be more productive to learn from the flaws in the original system? If the bw scene is going to recover and grow again I think it really needs to become more self aware that there was blame to spread around the scene for those events. If one bad egg can really kill such a long running organization, there are surely other problems that need to be looked at.
This may be an extremely western attitude, but I also feel the fact that Savior keeps sticking around is testament to him genuinely caring about bw. If the hatred against him is as intense in Korea as it is on teamliquid (and since everyone always refers to culture when discussing savior, i assume it must be even stronger) wouldn't it be so much easier for him to just leave? Literally anything he does that involves the game will send people into a rage. Should he remain banned from Korean tournaments? Yes. But I for one can't get behind this anger that he is wrong for some individuals still wanting to support him and see him play. Its an extremely prevalent, toxic attitude, and reason itself to not want to associate with the scene.
edit: I'd just like to add that I hope there isnt a backlash against movie...this seems like a good opportunity, when there are so few for ex-kespa pros at the moment.

That would have no effect on Savior. It would damage the tournament, which wouldn't be good.
Plus do boycotts ever work? The only ones I have seen are ones where the negative attention just more attention to the thing they wanted boycotted and therefore more people interested in the thing that was supposed to be boycotted.
