Seriously. Man, I read that interwiev with an open mind expecting to find some good explanation to all of this and all that is says is that hwasin is happy he won, wtf? That interview didn't provide any proof at all, and if you can't see that, you are the one who is retarded. Seriously. | ||

In one subject you blast people for being dishonorable and disrespectful to others and here you are like "blah, they won everybody else its fine if they want to rig the final games." Thats a bunch of bullshit. As someone said earlier, if they really were splitting the money and such there is absolutely NO purpose in NOT playing real final games. They can agree to split the money and still have a solid fucking series that the fans can view with excitement. Nobody should have to explain to you why its a good idea for the finals of a tourney to actually matter. The fact that people do means you still have a lot of growing/learning to do. And I mean that contextually. Agreed | ||

If they decide that they want to split the prize by playing a "setup game" then there is nothing in rules to stop them. It's their choice and completely legal. Sure the games may not be as entertaining for the fans but thats the way it goes. If I was good friends with an opponent. And we placed 1 and 2 in a tourniment and it was for a lot of money. I would do the exact same thing, hands down. Would you rather have a guranteed 16k or a 50% chance at 32k? Any smart gambler would take the guranteed 16k unless he was already rich ![]() fuck "completely legal" It is their duty, their responsibility to compete and play to the best of there abilities. So what is E-sports now? Pro Wrestling entertainment? Set up matches and made up drama? If I want to start watching fake shit I will turn on WWE. | ||

Jesus christ people. If anyone is buying the fucking interview crap they are in dire need of suicide. OF COURSE they dont come out and say "Yeah those last games, they were fixed. We just want to get out of your stinky country and back to korea where dressing like we do doesnt mean you are gay!" Hwasin and Calm can go fuck themselves. This situation alone does not upset me that much. But its the multiple times when koreans view the rest of the world in SC as idiotic garbage not worth the time. Even if you fucking believe that, you at least create the illusion you care/give a fuck about other people. Otherwise you come off like a pompous prick who needs a good beat down(reality check). Give them their money. Send them home. But in future IEST's, either DONT invite koreans or invite hungry professionals of the lower class who still have yet to be corrupted. I want a real tourney with huge upsets and epic battles.. not a fucking charade with egotistical game fixers. | ||

Imagine watching a match thinking it's going to be just fixed. Takes all the excitement out of it. foreign tournaments with top pros have always been like this | ||

I guess progaming finally has lost its soul or however you want to say it, when the money becomes more important than the love of the game. gg. | ||

Seriously. This was a stupid controversy. Interview (Translated - forgive awkwardness in grammar) - You have won in the IEST 2007 >> I think I played over 30 games over 3 days. It's the first time I've played so much during such a short period of time. It is harder than I though. I am sad that I dropped out of MSL, but I am happy that I won in the IEST. - How was your match against Calm >> I though I could lose because my condition was terrible after I arrived at China. While playing I realized I couldn't win if the game went longer. Calm was a lot better than me in other stuff, but I was won because I had more competition experience and mentality. - How is your condition >> I am tired. After losing yesterday I couldn't sleep and didn't eat, so before I came to China I only got three hours of sleep. I ate my first food in China. It got worse afternoon. ... I'm going to stop here, because the rest is irrelevant. ---------------------------- This is the interview with Calm Before the matchup. - You have made it to the finals > the word "finals" feels good. I feel happy because I was able to go up here with no losses. - You are up against your teammate Hwasin. > I wan't to play without stress over who wins. I want to have fun. - Do you have any 'greed' for the prize money? > I don't know, really. I guess I really want to win, though. - It is your first time to attend an international competition > It is fun fighting against foreigners. It was fun having matches with players all around the world. etc - If you predict the finals > It wont be easy, but I think I can win 3-2. Our winning ratio is similar (hwasin vs Calm = 5:5 in practice games).... I will not be mad at the results Well, thanks for the translation, but that seriously clears up nothing. Fucking fixed matches. I'm so disillusioned right now. ![]() | ||
