At least someone's doing the right thing. If he comes clean and it was only a few matches I don't see why he couldn't return after a certain period. Whether he wants to is something else entirely.

hahahahahahaha. I am the farthest thing possible from a Savior fanboy- If you didn't understand my point, let me reiterate it for you:

Savior's the hero of a lot of people in the Brood Wars scene- just like Boxer, Jaedong, or Bisu, name your pick. We don't look up to these people due to their outstanding moral character- we look up to them because they're mind-blowingly good at Starcraft.

I'd be offended by your tone, but your comment is just too funny for someone who's had to endure the ravings of actual Savior fanboys for so long.


So let's say that he's the greatest player to have ever played starcraft.
And he got lazy.
And he maphacked.
Are you saying that you wouldn't care, just because he's mind-blowingly good at starcraft?

People are hurt because he has made all of his games, and progaming in general, seem illegitimate. When you say that these criticisms are invalid because he's better at starcraft than anyone here... can you understand how much that misses the point?

Your reading comprehension is appalling.

Really slowly now, so you can follow: The world isn't black and white. You can have very successful businessmen who are lousy parents; great starcraft players who are very bad mannered; and great leaders of people who engage in corruption.

In Savior's case, there's this ugly side of his life everyone's commenting in this thread. Criticizing it is completely valid, because it was retarded of him to get involved in this. However, this doesn't mean Savior goes from hero to villain overnight; dropping matches certainly doesn't invalidate his past achievements. Maradona is arguably the best football (soccer) player ever, but he did drugs- does his drug use (purely recreational, no steroids or such) invalidate his kickass football skills? No. You have to take the good with the bad.

I feel it is unfair to Savior to just say, "He was engaged in illegal match-fixing and is therefore scum"

What I'm saying instead is, "He's a very talented and successful Starcraft player, who also engaged in illegal match-fixing. The former quality is commendable; the latter, deplorable."


Let me explain this for you really fucking slowly so you could understand:

NO...ONE...IS...DENYING...HIS...SKILL...AT...THE...GAME...OR...HIS...PAST...ACHIEVEMENTS

And for that matter, no one is saying the world is all sunshines and daisies either. No one here gives a shit if Savior's an alcoholic or a womanizer (rekrul would love it if that's the case lol), but what Savior was doing is FUCKING PISSING on the those who worked so hard to make the sport what it's like today, by abusing his position to sell matches and get other players in on it. The Maradona examples that you used has NOTHING compare to what he did. So he did some drugs that cost him his career. Tough shit. I don't care, and i will always be one of his fan because of the sheer skill the man once had. What Savior did was (and i will do this slowly):

FUCKING...EVERY...ONE...OVER...TO...GET...RICH

Now, everyone has his reason, and i will not judge him on that or call him scum. My position (and maybe a lot of other TLers) is this: I will not root for him, or any other caught cheaters, because they had illegitimate the one thing that many of us has come here for: Professional Starcraft. This is what the guy above you was trying to say, but you were too hung on one goddamn pointless point (lol) to listen. And, from the way you represented your one point on that post i first quoted, it sounds like this:

HE CAN BEAT YOU SO HE'S OKAY HERP DERP DERP

And that's why I jumped it because it is so fucking retarded!

I'd reply, but since I got a warning for much milder comments and you get away scot-free with this, it appears to me a mod has taken a side in this argument and doesn't quite agree with me. Speaking my mind on this issue isn't worth a ban on this site.

Zato, when someone's flaw is directly related to what was supposed to be good about them, it kind of invalidates their good. Like if someone is admired for being charitable, but then you find out they're just laundering drug money through charity funds.

So him dropping games invalidates all those games he won? I don't see the relation.

Edit: I'd agree with you if he had instead paid his opponents to drop games against him. As it is, though, he earned all his victories, and that makes them legit in my mind. I still wouldn't choose him as my role model though.

The cheating doesn't invalidate Savior's previous wins. What it does is destroy all the regard people have for him as a pro-gamer, because PRO-gamers don't do shit like that. They are supposed to get paid to play the game, not throw the game. So yeah, you can respect Savior for winning some games in the past, but you can't respect him as a pro-gamer anymore.

Now this I can agree with. I never even liked the guy- I'm just playing devil's advocate because since his fall from grace, a lot of accusations have been thrown at him, and some (but not all) of those I consider unfair. A thief isn't automatically also a rapist, murderer and a child molester, so to say.

I think I agree. I don't respect him much as a person and I thought the part about skimming other people's money off the bribes was pretty bad. But as a progamer he was still pretty epic. I'd be more upset if he'd cheated because that would have given him an advantage to win the game. He threw games for money. Not very respectable but doesn't take away from his legacy, just his reputation.

$2-6k for taking the fall per match?? that doesn't seem like enough to make it worth losing. If they're tossing enough matches to make it worthwhile, woudlnt it torpedo their career?

I disagree with this. We don't love money, we want the things money can buy. The fact that Savior (and several others) were willing to screw over their coaches, their fans and their team in order to buy more and better things speaks volumes about their moral character- this isn't corruption by money, it's selfish people betraying others' trust and screwing them over to get ahead. It's not very nice.

The relation is that if he has been dropping games, you start to wonder if others weren't doing that too in games against him.
When you're found cheating once, all of your previous and further actions automatically receive a certain degree of doubt.

Does Nixon's Watergate scandal invalidate all the good he's done as President, including opening up international relations with China?

No, but the former does cause everyone to lose all respect for Nixon.

TL has a reputation for being very unforgiving with abusers and cheaters. F91 was punished severely for abusing 2-3 games in TSL, even though he is an incredibly good player and was one of a few players that people thought had a chance of winning the tournament. He "had to" do it because if he wasn't in first seed he would not have made it outside China in time to play his TSL qualifiers, but that doesn't mean TL's just gonna let it slide.

If Boxer was caught maphacking even once to some B-teamer, he too would lose much of his respect among his fans. It's no different in Savior's case.
