IEST isn't at all comparable to the top korean leagues.
They shouldn't even bother inviting the top players, stuff like this is bound to happen.
WCG has to include everyone by principle, the match throwing happens every single year.
IEST has a choice of who to invite, just go for the lower-tier koreans who are sure to play for real.

And I give up if you guys don't believe me. I actually never thought the foreign gaming community had so much antagonism and suspicion against the Korean.

If you believe Hwasin is right, everything makes sense.
If you believe Hwasin is wrong, everything makes sense.

There is no logic in this accusation.
1st there are no motivations
2nd games 1,2,3 were legit
thrid games 4,5 were legit without viewing the whispers.

There was no reason for calm to make more than one or two sunkens. No zerg player would do these days unless he knows the opponent was doing an 'all in.' normally one would assume the terran player take a double.
Just think about the fourth game and fifth game. What would a pro do at the situation? Exactly what calm did Do 12 pool.
You guys are stupidly innocent if you guys think 'he said he'll do 12 pool and he did, so he rigged it.'

And some of the words and the gameplay doesn't make sense.

The reason that they whispered was because they didn't believe the people could see the fp version. Why wouldn't they clear things up, rather than vaguley talking about what to do?

Why didn't calm whisper to HWasin and say, hey I'm at 11 o clock

The koreans aren't being ignorant, you guys are.
More anger plz-

Could it possibly be the fact that build orders were declared before the game started?


did they declare in the chat who is going to win?

WCG happenes so that Koreans try to get 1st 2nd third place. Once they know that they do their best against each other to win.

IEST Koreans got 1,2,3 place. They tried their best (considering conditions)

thrid games 4,5 were legit without viewing the whispers. -> Yes they are perfectly OK, but problem here is WE CAN SEE THE WHISPERS.

Explaining the messages as "mind game" doesn't sound right to me because they played exactly like that. It takes some effort to type the whisper command (the nickname is long and it's in game lobby, they can't copy/paste), it just looks too serious and intentional to me to look like playful harmless fooling around messages.

Anyway it seems Koreans don't care about it now, the only thing us foreign fans can do is to accept it and start boycotting STX from now on.

what i meant is they didn't say things like "me win you lose" or "me sal sal me gg"
they were just talking about build orders and people getting paranoid that the games were therfor rigged it's just ridiculous.

i think op recently discovered pro wrestling is only a show and thinks pro gamers do the same :/

Okay, this is my final. I'll shut up.

The fact that you guys saw the whispers mean that Hwasin thought you guys couldn't see the whispers. I would expect something more than three lines then.

And shit. If they wanted Hwasin to win, Calm coul've done without chatting, riggin, or anything. I'm pretty sure he could trick all of our eyes and lose if he wanted to.

Okay, no more bullshit. If you want to discuss something new, that's fine, such as implications or how this can be avoided in the future.

If you post the same stuff, you will be banned, such as why you don't believe this happened. This is directed at you, samsammy. I'm not trying to bait you into getting banned, but your arguments and tone in this thread are ridiculous. If you don't believe there was foul play, that's great, but don't post about it here any more.

Conversely, we don't need to hear others' theories about why they think there was foul play. It's been discussed to death in the previous 20 pages.

What I found most interesting is that both articles released by FiFo and Fomos referred to THIS VERY THREAD as the start of the controversy. Fomos actually said "the controversy began when someone posted pictures of the chatting screen on the famous foreign website teamliquid". I was like "THAT'S US BITCHES!"

I'm sorry about the tone, Chill.

I never meant to be so 'harsh,' but my personality worked like that.
I just couldn't help wanting to change to the opinon of people believing that Hwasin and Calm cheated (and so stupidly, too).

I gave it my best, and I guess it didn't work.

But I also do see clearly that this is a dead topic and we have our lives to take care after.
So yeah, this is my last post.
Uh yeah, don't ban me.
