But I'm pretty sure kespa does.

No, it isn't. It's enough to live off of for maybe a couple months, at the price of any goals or dreams they may have had in progaming, a criminal record, and the loss of their reputation.

wow this is really going to hurt the progaming industry..

I think people are just overreacting, this will blow over. If this leads to convictions, people will serve fines or what not (possibly jailtime but I doubt it), and everyone else will move on (a bit wiser). People just love drama, so things always seem bigger than they are.

no, it was only 12 games are suspected of match fixing, and I'm sure it says Savior was mostly a medium between players and brokers, didn't throw matches

If you have any of these guys on your FPL, I guess it'd be a good time to trade them...

Well that's only if they get caught! which eh... but you get how easy it is to overlook shit.

To all of you who are calling these progamers pieces of shit, etc:
Most of you would have probably done the same thing given a choice.
Not saying what these people did was justified but I'm not going to come down too hard on them.

Unlikey, while everyone has their price, i don't see savior (or anyone) intensionally loosing a final unless they were paid a lot of money, and supposedly most of the payoffs were 5kish. Also, bisu was a dominant player for a long time after savior, making it unlikely that it was a fluke.

lolz I knew Savior and Luxury were sandbagging.
They have been playing like complete retards the past year or two.

It's really saddening to see a scandal like this erupt, particularly in the high-class world of e-sports. A lot of us look up to these people as more than gamers, as real role models who dedicate their lives to the love of the game.
Today is a sad day for e-sports. Good night, Ma Jae Yoon...

Looks like the Red Sniper....
Got Sniped.

the speculated winning rate for savior was insanely high though, making it rather likely for him to drop that game.
