I'm not a big fan of forums, but I've got some things in my mind on that issue. First of all, I'm a big fan of Life, I see him as the best player in the world and I disagree with a lifetime ban. For me, it's similar to Armstrong (bicycle races champion) - he's the best even with some cheating done. So, my understanding is that he should be unbanned for now. Not sure that should be discussed with me, just wanted to point out personal position. But to the point, I have one question. Why Life is banned permanently, and ByuN, who has been banned around 5 years ago for the same reason, is getting rewards from Blizzard's CEO and is allowed to play everything? Guys, who are convinced that Life should not play anymore - why ByuN is let to play? Cheers, Dmitry | ||

One went to the court, the other was banned from participating in tournament by his team (in addition of being removed from the said tournament anyway). Life's ban comes from his matchfixing link with betting sites and underground people. Whereas Buyn's was from asking his -already qualified- opponent to give him a second chance in a BO3, with no betting, nor third party involved. | ||

''Cancer made me stronger so I won 7 Tours de France'' I dont think using him as an example as to why Life should be allowed to play again is useful. But you are right that they are akin; because of their illegal actions they both took away lots of credibility from their respective disciplins. I think the kid should absolutely get a 2nd chance, but it shouldnt be gaming. | ||

And byun and coca were friends on the same team. And it was **Correction** a weekly cup with a code A seed as a prize. And both were punished for it by the league but since it wasn't illegal (no money was paid for the match fix) it didnt end up in court. And kespa wasn't in charge of starcraft at the time it was simply a GOM league. The Life situation was very very different from the Byun one. Byun was just him asking his friend to leave so he could play a game 3 to try and get into Code A. Life was paid a lot of money to lose maps intentionally so that gamblers could win big - breaking the law not just tournament rules - and it was under the kespa framework. So thats why byun can play now, but life cant | ||

Not like there hasn't been stories of people being allowed back from match fixing (see VP's Solo in dota 2), but I think that's harmful no matter how talented they are, even if you believe they will never throw a game again + Show Spoiler [For people not knowing the context of…] + He threw a match for 322 dollars in a very minor game (like many other match fixers), 322 is now synonymous with throwing a game, even though it's used very lightheartedly. Solo got a year or so ban and was allowed back to compete. VP just got second at the last major dota tournament, so his situation is similar to Life's, other than him being Russian and not being as succesful then as he is now | ||

Life was the starcraft 2 Contador, and if they had banned Contador for life, it would have damaged cycling even more than a 1.5-year ban. Or Juventus. | ||

He was only banned from Starladder. Joindota honored the Starladder ban as well. He was never banned by Valve. What makes me mad about that situation is that Solo never had to suffer through that entire ban. I think they let him back after 3-4 months anyway. | ||

How do you know he's playing a lot, or at all even? | ||

But, in my world (filled with rainbows and ponies) fair play is 1 or 0. In case you were cheating, no matter how hard, you're a cheater. Laws, organizations, sums of money and age is just a wrapper for this 1 or 0. In case this specific amount of money was necessary to purchase a cure from cancer for his mother, will it change someone's opinion? I mean - wrapping around cheating can be a big changer - but that's morale, and morale is different for everyone. | ||
