Life should never, ever be allowed back into this scene and the damage he and others involved did to Starcraft 2 will be felt forever. | ||

He should have to earn that right, not just get it. But he should have the right to try and redeem himself. | ||

If by that you mean "bring back all the sponsors and organizations that left due to the scandal and also rebuild viewer confidence in your sport from the ground up" then yeah ok you got me there Except those things aren't possible and his presence would make them worse. | ||

But you see welcoming a known match-fixer back into your tournament is a great way to improve confidence in your product I'm sure. In fact it's probably all we need to receive lucrative sponsorship agreements from Coca Cola, Goldman Sachs, the entire South Korean electronics industry and at least one major airline. | ||

My favorite part about the Life scandal is how it allows people to ignore the fact that SC2 had been in decline for two/three years prior and blame the downfall of the game on this singular event No doubt it was extremely important but let's not pretend the scene was thriving before hand | ||

I'd want him back because most zerg players are kind of bad or uninspiring right now and life made things interesting. | ||

That does not mean he should ever be allowed back into it or in any competitive game ever again. The damage he and the others involved did was real, permanent and thoroughly not understood properly by foreign fans. | ||

Just correcting that statement that he "single handedly" ruined competitive SC2. | ||

Do you really need proof to suss this one out? Sponsors are risk-averse and aren't going to throw money into the thresher that is tainted goods. Not to mention SC2 was already in decline and the scandal represented a perfect exit strategy. Come on dude | ||

That guy who got warned however many pages back is completely right- The TL community is indeed full of arrogant people. Chock full of teenage bandwagoning, clickyness, and hive mind thinking. With the older and more experienced among them not doing the younger ones any favors. Every time I see Life or Savior brought up, people talk as if one them were the dark stranger who murdered their family and of course, ever-so-wounded, "they will NEVER" forgive them. What makes you all so entitled to think you should have any opinion at all as to what they should or should not do with their lives now? Entitled to how much (or really any) hate that should be given to them? The only thing you are entitled to is to feel hurt, if you were actually a fan. Disappointed. Let down. But to think your disappointment ever grants you a free pass to hate someone, or that your speculation or your baseless analogies grant you some sort of special understanding, is the very definition of arrogance. And dare I say ignorance. I honestly don't think about Life all that much. I browsed the thread out of curiosity as to what popular opinion currently was, and I am leaving disgusted. I hope that a good portion of you revisit your replies and your feelings here. Because if so many of you can so easily condemn these 2 (whom most of you have have only met through your internet browsers) like some fallen angels to prison and hell, as if you understood their circumstances and as if you were their arbiters, or as if anyone in this life deserves condemnation, then, I am saddened to think how you will treat others in the politics of your small lives. Seriously fellas you're better than this. All of you. | ||

Seriously fellas you're better than this. All of you. Stop painting the picture as if Life/Savior are victims here. They ruined the integrity of competitive starcraft. Everyone has the right to hate both of them for what they've done. You do not get to decide when, how or any reasons why someone can or can't hate someone. You are not the one who decides that. Life /Savior are a disgrace to starcraft and are not welcome to compete. | ||
