The problem with all the punishment shouts is that there is no one organziation that overlooks the punishment and as we could see in the case of Solo, the punishment was full of loopholes that way.

Matchfixing happens in football as well. It probably happens in any sport involved in betting and betting is HUGE in Europe, as well the rest of the world I'd assume. The difference is it's a criminal offense and you can go to prison if you're caught. So yeah this is a very serious problem.

In fact match fixing in European football comes from SEA in most cases I've heard of.

East Asia and SEA are the biggest gambling centers/populations in the world

Pretty sad that this had to happen, ddz was pretty damn amazing in TI4, and with SEA dota on the rise, this is the last thing that it needed

I'm against lifetime bans because people make mistakes and deserve a 2nd chance. Also, we never saw Savior play again and that is such a sad waste of talent.
But Solo got away way too easy. Something like a 1 or 2 year ban for matchfixing sounds fair.

The biggest thing on that new thread is the existence of fake FB network by Jaren. Holy Jesus, this is so twisted...
|
What's pathetic is Jaren is still trying to defend himself.
I honestly hope at this point Valve steps in and just bans his ass from DotA 2 and end this.

this just gets more and more juicy...

honestly, that article doesn't present anything new. all it does is try to make jaren out to be the bad guy even though he seems to have found out about the matchfixing at the same time as everyone else. it's just a ruse to deflect blame away from ddz+lance who were the ones to actually commit the crime.
p.s. jaren is using fake iG facebook page for ad moneys (how is this relevant for anything besides character assassination?) p.p.s. jaren hates puppies
it's amazing how the article's spin has managed to convince r/dota2 csheeple

This x 1000. I posted literally the same thing on reddit, but it doesnt matter, the pitchforks are out in full force. But then again, reddit is not known for being the most intelligent site on the internet.
Its always the case that managers/organizers/casters take a lot more flak than the actual players, even if they commit lesser crimes. I remember the way the SC2 community castrated -Orb- for using "nigger" as an epithet in a random ladder game and pretty much destroyed his streaming/casting career. While much more famous players like IdrA routinely got free passes and were worshipped, while being pretty much the most abusive person in the SC2 community until Alex Garfield finally had enough.

Apologies mean shit when you tried to cover it up first.

Yup. Gotta agree with this statement. While Jaren seemed like a dick and probably not the best character, DDZ, Lance and the rest of Arrow were the ones to actually commit the crime. Hope they are actually punished here.

Savior never confessed to fixing his own games, and as far as memory serves me, that part was never proven either.

I'm not sure now Jaren is involved but I'm pretty sure how DDZ and Lance are involved.

I really hate these sort of occurrences. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot. Oh so you may a chunk of change, now guess what, you have tarnished the name and sponsors will be even less likely to invest money. It is the same mentality that I see with those that hack video games. You play a game only to ruin the game itself.
What I often find most deplorable is their attempt to apologize. More often than not (in my opinion), they are not apologizing for what they did. They are apologizing that they were caught. With that said, I do not think there should be lifetime bans. Maybe cater it toward the crime, so a more financial sort of punishment. For example, if they got items, have them given to some mediator or the tournament and if not willing to do that, they are banned.

So if Arrow wanted to matchfix on their own accord, how did the Vallejos guy get tipped off to make the large bets?
