I wish there were some way we foreigner fans can still show that we support e-sports. Maybe a letter or e-mail or something signed by all of us.

It would take up soooo many terrabytes, but i like it.

I think Savior got dissapointed in his skills after the 2008 GomTv invitational. I mean like, come on! He lost to Flash in the first round, who back then was just a little, virtually faceless younger teenager. He really lost his faith there, and then it happened. (this is just my theory btw.) Here is dah link if you really want to see the actual game. BTW, great science vessel irradiation-eraser trick by Flash. If you notcie Savior's Muta micro, its not the best. Flash litterally looked broken, but pulled through.

I honestly think the commentators are waaay too butthurt about this, their personal jobs aren't in question, the whole e-sports scene isn't going to disappear overnight because of 7-8 progamers that fixed a few matches.

"Get rid of gambling sites", "the original sin was always there". Oh yeah good idea dumbass, society needs its vices, there will always be people who overstep boundaries and if it was so easy to get rid of it forever, it would have been done already.
"I'd like to give them a life sentence". Yeah, another great idea smartass, way to paint yourself as a vengeful moron from a 3rd world country with no sense of proportion or justice. Maybe you want to splash acid in their faces too?

Don't get me wrong, they should be punished, but leave that to the courts.

From their commentary you'd think South Korea was financially defrauded of billions of dollars the same way Wall Street defrauded the US, but it was just some kids throwing a bunch of games.

Soccer matches have arguments about coach bribing every year. Does the soccer scene die?

calciopoli, you might want to look into it

Savior used to be an awesome zerg player, even defeating Jaedong!

thanks for the video. Indeed a tragedy this betting problem is. I agreed with the both commentators. For the good of E-Sports the players have to be punished. The sponsors have to believe in Starcraft again and at the same time it would be nice if the players in the teams could have a better life so they won't ever again think about fixing matches.

I'm clearly not a frequent poster here, but I certainly do take advantage of the amazing content that this site produces.

First off, I appreciate the guys that took the time to sub this segment. It is time that you didn't have to spend, yet you still choose to. So for that, Thank you so much!

Second -- the casters/players words were surprisingly moving to me and I found myself very contemplative over many of things they had to say. So, after having a few minutes to process it all, I find myself drawn even more to the scene. To be totally honest, before this event I really didn't understand the type of passion and love these guys carried with them about e-sports. I hope that a majority of the other fans, weather casual or hardcore, are level headed enough to understand that this was truly the actions of a few and this should not shake their interest in the sport.

Finally, what I took away most from this was the very real fear of sponsorship losses. It's a harsh reality, but perhaps this fear and loss of income can also help act as a motivator for those who are in this for the strength of the scene and remove those who had dollar signs in their eyes. Sure things may get tough for a while...and this may hopefully push the greedy ones to step away leaving those who truly care to stand by the honest ones and see this though.

Thank you so much sub team. I've watched all of Hyunj and Nalra, but this was more important to me. I love the passion

Thank you so much for this translation. Words can't describe how much this meant to me seeing how much this effected the Korean scene and their obvious but still amazing determination to not only return E-Sports to what it was but bring it higher.
