Calm officially said this according to fighterforum.
"I tried to upset him(Hwasin) by saying I can still beat him playing in such strategy. I did not know this mind game would cause this huge misapprehension."

Hwasin said
"I just replied to Calm with no intention other than for fun. This happens very frequently between us. I just rushed him early because it doesn't really matter who win."

yea.. so.. Hwasin really did not take the game seriously, regardless of the fixing issue.

Where shall my blood be spilled.

Few other responses:

*If this was a mental game, why whisper? Why not just chat in normal?
*Such an honest mental game...

I don't see what more evidence do they need? The screenshots matches /exactly/. Also from the sounds of things, it sounded already like they acknowledge that the things said were probably what their strats were going into game but yet they expect us to believe that they were trying to mentally psych the other person out? That's just ridiculous and from the tone of things sounds like they're covering their behind. You don't deny something by saying "oh it's not true but just in case it's true, here's another excuse to throw at you".

Quotes from the players from FiFo article:

Calm: "It was a mind trick, I was saying that even if I play like that I could still win, it was a taunt. I didn't expect it to cause this kind of misunderstanding."

Hwasin: "I played along with his messages but chat like that happens every game [during practice]. The one thing I didn't want was for the games to go long. So I attacked early with the thought that, if it works great, if not, then Calm wins so great."

Coach of STX: "Why would we fix a match when it doesn't matter who wins? I don't know where this controversy came from. What happened was two teammates with little experience playing in overseas tournaments were playing light-heartedly.

From FiFo article.

"with little experience playing in overseas tournaments"

What does that have to do with anything? They're playing the exact same game.

hwasin and Calm must be happy.. bad blood between China and South Korea seems to be enough to make whats the truth irrelevant.. the fact that the videos didn't get uploaded fast enough also gave them all the time they needed to say that the screenshot was manipulated and that they wouldn't even bother responding to such accusations, and now the entire community seems to have decided it was just "some jealous Chinese guy".

BW karma pleeeease...

game might be same, but playing front of different crowd, stage etc is different experience.

like how some gamers chokes on the staged games.

I think the coach is referring to the fact that, the game is the same, but tournament organization and rules are different (ex: no chat in Korea)

Ah.

Well, it seems that they're digging themselves deeper since their "mind tricks" play out exactly what happened in game. BTW, can anyone translate what they say in the game 4 VOD when they're waiting for game 5 to start?

Haha. In other words they did it, but fear the reactions. So they decided to admit it´s partially true.

Calm: "Hey I will beat with only one sunken."
Hwasin: "I bet you do lol."

A very light-hearted convo, isn´t it ^^.

That's actually the best time to fix a game, for the usual reasons, though this is just speculation in this case: Sports gambling.

For those ppl who may doubt it, here is the link of one BroadCaster post
http://www.playsc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=77118&extra=page=1 (i have no time to translate it ) His ID is Toodming

He was Broadcasting PGL Season 2 ,i think a lot of ppl here was watching him from Pplive


I'll do a quick rundown of this article:

Basically he did a quick recap of the BO5 series, stating certain things, or lack thereof, as being fishy (no early-game scouting, 1 sunkens to a m&m push, etc.). He mentioned seeing "center barrack" in their game4 pre-game chatting, and that's when he realized that this is an "exhibition" and not the real deal.

He also said in the closing paragraph how he didn't wanna tell the crowd what was happening cus, frankly, it's difficult to have to break the news to a crowd of adoring fans. He said he finally came out with it cus 1.) alot of people saw their 1st-person view, and 2.) he was angered by the fact that afterwards people were discussing a "falsified" series with a lot of fanfare and excitement. That and Hwasin used the illegal "gas geyser bug" on JayStar knowing that it's banned by the Korean tournaments.

He concluded by saying that all in all, he felt everyone did a good job organizing the event, and that he hopes the viewing public will continue to support IEST and the Chinese StarCraft scene.
If you can, then do. If I can, I will.
