I think it's pretty lame. Why not just play a GG if they're going to split the money anyways. Also, like stated by many others, the tournement was for the fans; they comprimised the legit'ness of the tournie.

Just trying to offend other ppl does not do any good. By far, no non-chinese ppl managed to see that vid.



there'are some ppl seeing it out of china from the PPlive

get back to this thread you will find it

If you want any credibility in getting people to believe you, then go and download it and upload it to yousendit.com or something like that. Then one of the non-koreans will convert the .flv and upload to youtube, and koreans will actually believe you. Also I just searched this entire thread for PPLive and it only appears twice in this thread, never with a link to view it or anything.

Seriously, stop saying how many people have seen it, and do the steps so that people can actually see it now.

I think you should stop being a dick.

Moreover, this kind of community reaction is necessary to discourage other players from doing the same thing in the future. This is why we e.g. imprison criminals even when they didn't affect the judge or jury members personally. It's the civilised world's way of looking out for one another.

Well, if you have time to post, plz upload the vid. There is no video available now for those
who just got to know about this topic. Be reasonable.

And if you wanted to be a racist regarding sport performances, I do not think chinese have anything to say for sure.

Hi guys,

I'm a Korean starcraft fan.

This morning, from a Korean starcraft fansite 'Sgael',

I came across a post concerning this game-fixing rumors.

Although the heat of the controversy seems to be very high in foreign communities,

Korean communities (fifo, fomos, pgr21 and sgael) generally share the opinion that

the screenshot was manipulated not the game.

Personally, I share same opinion as the Koreans and there are few evidences for my argument.

1. There is no proof that the screenshot was actually taken from the game
I am sure that you guys know how easy it is just to go onto UDP, make a room and take a screenshot just like that with your friend. I am expressing my opinion assuming that the screenshot was manipulated. Ofcourse, it could've been actually taken from the game.

2. The link of the game vod never loads
Yes, if the vod can be viewed, all the arguments can end. But the vod never loads and it seems that its not just my internet that doesn't load vod for games 4 and 5. If it was for over-traffic, there must have been SOMEONE who has watched it. I've had a quick read through all the posts and I never came across a post which says that they have watched the video. Correct me if I am wrong. Without the vod, It seems very meaningless accusing the STX team when the validity of the screenshot cannot even be verified.

3. Reason for manipulating?
Is there ANY reason for STX players to manipulate the game? One user pointed out that the players share the prizemoney. So, whats the point who comes first when it comes to money? Also, it is sad to say, but for Koreans IEST is not very important. It is just a small minor event that opens overseas. Other than prizemoney, IEST wouldn't bring them any honour as IEST is not recognised highly. Bearing that in your mind, just think about how much Hwasin will benefit from winning the competition. In my opinion, there are not much to gain.

4. Looking at vod for games 1-3, the Korean players typed their "gg" in Korean character
Yes, that means that Korean language patch was installed on the match PC. Now, if they were really willing to manipulate the game, why not use the comfortable native character? What they used was a Korean language that was expressed in English as a sound. Being a Korean, the quotes "Dae choon 2 sunken no ring" sounds somewhat unnatural and 'seriously' grammatically wrong. (Maybe just like my English ... )

5. Why manipulate the game dangerously during the game?
They had all day to manipulate the game SAFELY before the game.

These are just opinions from Korean communities and

I summed them up and put some of my own opinions in.

I maybe biased towards Koreans but please recognise that I tried to be as fair as possible.

In my opinion, before any proving, accusing players seem very meaningless.

The STX players, among with other Korean progamers are young talented people who have to

live in a small dorm and train like a machine. It is admiration for their effort that they need not the

accusation concerning matters.

They are 'pros', and I think we have to respect them for their job.

Even if it turns out that the game was actually manipulated,

it is probably the decision of the team front office, so as a starcraft fan just like you guys,

I beg you not to accuse the players

Thanks

This is a really good post, and your english is very good too . Similar to your question about why the koreans would manipulate the game, I also don't see why the chinese would manipulate a screenshot. They would seem to have even less motive for this, since even if this is found to be true, it's not going to change anything about IEST itself, nor does it (for example) help a chinese player advance.

Boys, the *.flv flies are coming now. The video which was recorded in p2p boardcast player(PPLive) is not so clear and it's speaking chinese, BUT in the video you can see Hawsin was typing "/w ****" clearly to chat without being seen by the game host and other audience as they thought. They must dont know IEST have the FP boardcasting online.
Hm...It's so sad it happened, because we are not strong enough to defend these Koreans players, and I still believe most Korean player are not like them.
Here are the links:
1.
http://www.flyupload.com/get?fid=2195034

http://www.wfbrood.com/movie/iest/movie_22574.html (before the Game 5 you can clear see Hwasin was typing and replay the message from Clam )

2.
http://www.flyupload.com/get?fid=5733937

http://www.wfbrood.com/movie/iest/movie_22573.html (Before the Game 4, Hawsin was scroll up then you will see the dialog but only seconds )

Let's hope this source actually works...
