So, the sentencing occurred today in Korea (the 22nd). Basically, they have a week to appeal the sentences. Out of the people who got sentenced, those of interest are

Progamer (T)Justin - 18 month sentence, 3 years suspended sentence, 3 million won fine, 120 hours of community service, 40 hours of gambling treatment program.
Progamer (Z)sAviOr - 1 year sentence, 2 year suspended sentence, 120 hours of community service.
Ex Progamer (T)By.1st - 6 month sentence, 1 year suspended sentence, 40 hours of gambling treatment program
Ex Progamer (Z)ShinHwA - 6 months sentence, 1 year suspended sentence, 40 hours of gambling treatment program

Note on "suspended sentence": If they don't screw up within that time period, they actually don't end up going to jail, and they count that you have served your sentence after that period is over.

The other progamers who were involved were let off with a fine, iirc. I don't know if there was anything past that, but since I haven't seen anything regarding them, I assume that is true.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but people going to jail over video games is the funniest thing in the world to me.

So this is actual jail time and not a suspended sentence?

1 year in jail seems intuitively wrong to me.
They should have fined him more and less jail.

edit: Ah he's not certain to be jailed, that makes more sense.

they all deserve jail, without question.

I have no sympathy for any of them.

Well, the "Probation" actually means suspended sentence, so they don't actually go to jail unless they screw up during to probation, it looks like.

I updated the OP post to take into account this information.

I'm still not sure it is clear enough - I think people are going to read it and go OMFG SAVIOR GOING TO JAIL.

I know that was the first thing that went through my mind upon reading it.

im clueless on laws, but if probation means that they dont go to jail unless they screw up, why is probation period longer than jail time ?

Betting is illegal in South Korea. I wonder if any of them will attempt a Martha Stewart style comeback after they serve their time. I wonder if they will be able to compete ever again or if their reputations are tarnished for good. That would be cool if there was some kind of prison league that started up as a result of this.

So do I get this right? They don't go to jail at all unless they commit a crime during the probation time? And if they do screw up, they are imprisoned for the duration specified in the OP?
Or is the probation time after / in addition to a compulsory jail time?

Progamer sAviOr - 1 year sentence, 2 year probation, 120 hours of community service.

k.. any law students here?

does this mean he goes to jail for 1 year. if his rehabilitation / community service is done well, he is out ( total jail time = 1 year) otherwise he goes for 1+2 years

or..

he doesnt go to jail but if he commits crime within 2 years, he will go to jail for 1 year.

If they don't screw up for the duration of their probation they are not going to jail at all, if they do screw up, they are going to jail for the time specified in the sentence, so Savior for 1 year.

at least that is how it works here in Europe, but it makes sense it works like that in other countries also.

If we assume starcraft is like any other sport in S. Korea.. then i guess this is right!

In football, basketball etc.. the result would be the same!

The way it works in the states is you serve your sentence, in Savior's case 1 year in jail and after he's done he has 2 years probation(normally checking in with your parole officer, no drug use, upstanding citizen type crap) where if he violates probation he goes back to jail to serve the rest of his probation there. If he wasn't going to spend anytime in jail they wouldn't have a sentence unless it's a suspended sentence type thing. Korean justice system might work completely different though.

They deserve going to jail for what they did. Screwing up the integrity of a sport by gambling is probably the worst thing a competitor can do other than killing/harming another. Sad that it happened but, at least justice is served.
