Like I said before, he probably wasn't an officially employed broker, most likely his game throwing friend just asked him to get the money for him. Sorry, that was my mistake. He "never received money for match fixing", but doesn't imply that he has "never received money" period. I noticed my wording was a bit confusing and I fixed it. Sorry for the confusion. | ||

Furthermore, there was a broker that has blackmailed a progamer saying that he will reveal the progamer's participation in match fixing. anyone know who the blackmailed progamer was?Also nice to hear that a lot of the things said about savior were misunderstandings and rumors. | ||

Betting to lose individual leagues is harsh though. It is. It's not "probably." That was the reason. | ||

Furthermore, there was a broker that has blackmailed a progamer saying that he will reveal the progamer's participation in match fixing. This is interesting since the only reason for blackmail would be if the "progamer" in question had wanted to do something like either stop throwing matches or report them. Who knows maybe this progamer was even Savior and maybe after his initial involvement he was forced to continue and become a broker. Of course this could be anyone, but its unfortunate for whoever it was because this person probably realized his mistake and wanted to quit but was forced to continue. | ||

I think I'll wait for more details before deciding what I think, but really any amount of involvement doesn't look good for sAviOr. A strong sense of morality and duty is something star players need to embody. + Show Spoiler + This kind of feels like map hacker witch hunts... Players make mistakes, especially when they're under a lot of pressure. Nony didn't forget storm on purpose. Lots of people who are really good have accidentally built two of the same tech building in the odd game. The evidence isn't going to come from the game, it's going to come from records of money transfer. | ||

It's possible he was only a broker and his game slipped only by coincidence, but I don't buy it. It's possible that he was throwing matches (considering his involvement in brokering already), but they couldn't prove it enough to charge it, just like its almost a certainty that there were more than 11 players involved and more than 12 total matches thrown and that the money earned from all of this was a lot more than the few hundred dollars claimed but as it stands this is what they could prove enough to charge. | ||

Cool, hip, sharp and passionate. AKA Badass. Thanks for the translation. This whole case is really culturally revealing, imo. | ||

I think it is likely that he got paid, thus the charges. However I do not think it beyond the realm of possibility that he did not get paid. I was just trying to address that possibility r u stupid | ||

I still love my man Savior. Many of you admired him for obvious reasons on his rise to fame and even his fall, anyone who watched BW more than 3 years ago does. After how much I cheer for him I am going to give him the full benefit of the doubt. I am not defending his actions even IF he did actually throw games, and definitely not corrupting and leading others into it. But it's easy to judge from so far away. You really don't know what he was going through at this time in his life, no one really does. Maybe he was kinda forced into this by the goons of the pay sites once he was in a little involved or maybe he was just totally blinded by the money. The life of a pro-gamer isn't exactly normal on the way up, it's hard to know where he was coming from. Everyone's human and obviously even our Zerg god, I'll still love Savior even though I am obviously a minority. Having said that the scandal is truly disgusting, I will still love and watch BW for as long as possible though. | ||
