When someone is stripped of olympic medal, the second in line is awarded gold retroactively. In this case none of that happened so I have to conclude that he is still considered victors, however all the (possibly beneficial) exposure is removed/prevented etc.? | ||

Savior's photo was removed and replaced with a generic Starleague logo on the 2006 Season 3 plaque. That's the best example I can think of to show stripping of titles. That said, it still says a Zerg won. You can see it here: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TH9ip.jpg) That does it! I'm going there and taping a picture of Bisu on that wall and taking a picture. | ||

I don't see why Liquipedia should follow. Liquipedia provides information and sAviOr (and Luxury) still is four time champion. I don't see why we need to strike it through - that's messy at best; suggests that somehow he's results are undone or whatever. @itsjustatank It's not consistent. Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping and so all his results are undone. Match fixing scandal didn't indicate any fault of him getting the results so this seem to be very different situation - therefore they shouldn't be presented similarly. Actually - now seeing that they are striked in wikipeida - it's even stronger argument to not do so on LP. There was no indication sAviOr cheated to win his titles (unlike LA). | ||

No matter what happened he's the man who single handedly showed people how to dominate with zerg in Broodwar and pretty much him alone defined the beginnings of all the standard current builds used today. Also using Lance Armstrong is a bad example as Lance used drugs at a time when pretty much everyone else in the top 10 used drugs as well. You can take all the titles away and whatever but he wasn't really at an unfair advantage when second to 10th were all doped up as well. | ||

The thing is, they really are not there anymore, that's KeSPA policy. His records were officially erased so to speak. To still list them would be changing history. It makes sense, regardless on your opinion of savior, because it shows his status in the KeSPA ranking. Only KeSPA gets to decide, not the editors. It's also explained on his player page as well as on other pages about the match fixing incident. I hope that explains it. Titles come from and are legitimized by a font of authority. They can be revoked, and having had one in the past doesn't make it perpetual. Someone stripped of a knighthood in the United Kingdom can no longer be called a knight legitimately. The same is true of the matchfixers. No matter how many times you apologists desperately try to rewrite history, it has already been written. Until and unless KeSPA changes their decision on this matter, those wins, while wins, did not result in titles. | ||

There are no facts saying that he didn't win those titles. LP does not answer to KeSPA. They dumped him from their records, because keeping him there is bad for the business - that however doesn't change facts. Question remains: is LP about facts or about business. My take is that LP should list them as holders of the titles and explain that the records were purged from KeSPA records or wtv - not the other way around. | ||

That is what the description to the right in the table says. The strikethrough indicates that the title has been vacated. There is no holder of that title, according to the font of authority that confers said titles: KeSPA. No one can change this fact except KeSPA. Not you, not I. The wiki records things as they are, not as how you want it to be. I believe we reached impass as we both understand all the facts but have completely different opinion on how to interpret them. You think it's ultimately up to KeSPA to cancel titles. I think that once they've won titles, you have to prove that they cheated during their run to change it. | ||

It's like saying that if Wellington and Blucher declared that they lost battle of Waterloo, then history books should say that they lost becuase "it's up to them". Facts are sAviOr and Luxury won these 5 tournaments. Of course I can't argue against consensus - I just don't see how can organization say "oh we don't want him as our champion because he is criminal so let just remove him from the records" and I don't see why we should follow. If KeSPA declared that - I don't know - YellOw inherited all these titles (yea, complete absurd), should we kick him from the Kong line and send golden badge? o_O | ||

Not making any statements just with 11 you'd think there'd be at least one >_> A bit late to answer, but Protoss is presented as a race with honour in campaign. That explains it!  | ||
