I mean if it had been 80% of all games, then yes, I'm sure you and I could understand the vitriol but only 0.0000000001% that's like NOTHING! Haters gonna hate, they're just mad because they got owned by that cool kid. It's like the fucking jews that are probably still mad at the nazis even though they number ~ 13,854,800 and Hitler didn't even kill 6 millions. That's not even half. Fuck the haters.

The mere fact that matches were fixed and that it was in the news is more than enough to keep sponsors away. And certainly decent share of the fan base was disgusted and stopped watching BW. I remember Kim Carry literally begging the viewers to keep watching BW after the scandal. | ||

At that time starcraft 2 was nearly out, with beta tournaments all over, and blizzard was putting lots of pressure on KeSPA over ownership of bw rights etcetc so sponsors were already more likely to want to go to starcraft 2 as well as most of the viewers since the game was new and popular worldwide im not saying it had no effect but it might be exaggerated. | ||

And i would like to say there is a possibility sAviOr and co. didn't understand the gravity of what they are doing back then, match fixing of that scale in E-sports is considered new in 2010. It's almost pitiable doing what you think is okay, only then realizing too late that what you did was very bad. I'm not trying to be an apologist, but they were a children back then. KESPA should educate all their progamers and coaches (see AHQ case in LOL) to avoid future match fixing. | ||

I actually think the ex-wife has a couple screws loose... wouldn't be the first time a female "victim" sues their ex-husband/bf for monetary gain. What really threw me off was the part about Luxury's toe and how the ex wife claims he purposely infected it and her father took time out of his own work to take him to the hospital and have him treated.. Like if that actually happened wouldn't the father of the ex-wife stick up for that point? Luxury declares its all a lie (that he did it on purpose.. so is he saying it happened but its an accident or did it not happen at all?). It just seems so weird that the father of a girl who's supposedly getting abused by her spouse would be so kind to his son-in-law. Like was the abuse not visible on the body? was she not in contact with her father? was she not comfortable telling his parents about these things? I felt like through not 1 but 2 trials that kind of stuff would have definitely been brought to light. I guess it all comes down to the fact that we probably don't even know like 10% of the details involving this matter. I guess I'd have to say both parties are at fault. still think its super weird how the article that had Luxury admitting to abuse (from this thread) is just completely wiped... | ||

Or does everyone on page one assume that the Korean legal system doesn't work and that Luxury has some inside deal with corrupt judges to obscure the truth? Guilty until proven innocent? It's hard to say "i was wrong" better just make it into an internet "innocent" joke right? | ||

Update 5:34 PM According to the article on Fomos and Naver, Luxury was accused of threatening his wife with acid on 3 occasions, past March, May, and June. He has testified to the police that "He admits that he has abused his wife, but he did not threaten with acid". Link to the article http://www.mydaily.co.kr/news/read.html?newsid=201208241633415527&ext=na someone plz clarify what this is I'm so confused by this. is this another one of those lost in translation things? also this post by ZeroChrome was pretty insightful regarding the scandal's impact on sponsors. | ||

Lol, how would you even go about purposely infecting your toe? Do you cut it and stick it into toilet? Sounds like a tricky thing to do. I don't know, in these kind of things I try to reserve my judgement because either one of them could be lying through their teeth. In that case, I think it's imperative that we respect the court's decision. | ||
