question:

why is upmagic banned from this tournament or sc2 in general? i know people dont like his match fixing but he wasnt the person orchestrating it and he thought he could get more cash and it was a dishonorable / criminal action and he did it knowing it was wrong but come on he still has passion for the game. i understand korean leagues banning him, but american leagues too?

heck, if someone is good at the game i want to see them play. i dont care if they fix matches. if upmagic can win tournaments why ban him?

Cheating is very harsh in sc2 world, even circumstantial evidence (a la combatex) results in an almost immediate ban from many communities, and since the tourneys depend on those communities the tournaments as well.

When something that goes beyond cheating and gets into match fixing, which is illegal as well as immoral/against the rules, it's a guaranteed ban. If he was allowed in american tournaments, i could see lots of possible backlash from the korean SC2 community.

Personally i feel upmagic is very good, and should be allowed to play professionally, but i also understand the exact situation. Other professional athletes who fix matches get even worse penalties then a ban. The fact he wasn't an orchestrator is the only reason he didn't go to jail.

4:00:

STC oes for a barrack opener followed with gas. RA whent for a gateway followed with gas.

Ra scouting the base of stc abit, and stc has pulled a scv to the bottom mineral patch. he is hiding it.

3:35 stc makes a factory at the hidden location. RA almost scouts it but then pulls his probe back.

8:00:

stc makes at his main base marine marauders, and at the factory a helion, did not lift it up. just making them there, after 1 helion he lifts it off but the gateway spots it going into the main and is trying to take it down now.

stc going to attack the main, and ra makes a pylon in stc main.

1 helion of stc in the main, trying to kill probes, ra pulls a few probes and a stalker is trying to kill it off, kills the first, second helion is in the base out of the factory.

ra pylons was finished at stc main and waprs in a zealot.

ra pushes of the attack of stc at his main, barly holds it.

stc taking down the pylon in his main right now.

Ra has 12 probes vs 17 scv's.

3rd helion gets in the main but gets killed by ra with a forceshield.
