I feel for all of the other fans who suffered disappointment and disillusionment as a result of the whole matchfixing incident. As a final note: I hope that these guys aren't allowed to play in SC2 events in the new GOM world order or whatever ends up happening. It bothers me that everyone forgot so readily about the sins of Dimaga and F91 and other TSL cheaters as soon as they became SC2 stars. | ||

A few things to consider: these players are basically just kids. They would have gone from going to school and living at home straight to living in a progamer house with a bunch of other teenagers/early twenties, playing a computer game 10+ hours a day. It's not like they have a ton of life experience. Doesn't excuse what they did, but they made a mistake, they are not hardened criminals. Furthermore, I imagine that it is rather common for any of the little money that most of these guys make to straight to their parents for safekeeping with maybe a little bit of spending money given to them from that. Meanwhile, the money they would get from the match fixing would have been cash under the table, so to speak, i.e. money that they could spend freely. Once again, this is no excuse but it is something to keep in mind before you judge them too harshly. I'll be glad when this whole dirty business is behind us, and I sincerely hope that it will be a cautionary tale for future progamers, and that it will never happen again. | ||

I can't help but suspect that all those times I got pissed because he threw games away, that he literally was throwing the game away. =/ | ||

Personally, I believe all the players should be given a second chance, so if they really wanted to I imagine they could become SC2 players, unless of course the GOM league also bans them. 1) I doubt kespa will be going anywhere, don't be so quick to dismiss them and think that blizzard will have full control over everything. 2) No sponsor or team will touch these players, as it would tarnish the dignity of the team. This applies to SC2 just as it does for SC1. These players are done. | ||

Wrong >> example "dwain chambers"! english runner took steroids (thats probly even worse then throwing a game in my honest oppinion because hes doing something illigal to make himself better.. not worse...) And long as he runs fast people will always find a sponsor end of story, if he was a slow runner thats another topic, but indeed if these players "play" well enough in sc2 i have little doubt they will find a place to go where the pay is marginal. | ||

This is also a message to those that believe that cheaters should have other chances ... learn from Kespa ... ZERO TOLERANCE. There are also big names, this is really sad. | ||

I wonder if the World Cyber Games will strip  Luxury of his WCG bronze now and  Hwasin of his WCG gold?Hwasin doesn't have a WCG gold, but Luxury does. I'm guessing that you're thinking about the korean qualifiers which are the ones listed in TLPD. I think the decision is correct. Too bad our european scene is too small and way to forgiving, we could have cleaned out a handful and badmannered kids to make it more professional. (regarding our previous wc3 and now our sc2 scene) | ||

Good luck finding a team that will take Savior after causing the biggest disgrace to esports in years. And no, I don't think that taking steroids is worse than throwing a game for money. The only way they will get anywhere with sc2 if they wanted to would be internet tournaments. I still don't think they'll even try. They have been shamed by this, and they will likely move on with their lives and pursue other things (like school, joining family businesses, etc). | ||
