I was only aware of it because I had a bet on the match through sheer chance. I didn't actually see the absurd line movement on Creator to win map 1 making soulkey an 8-1 underdog in map 1 but a favourite for the series So sad that a GSL champion is a match fixer. A giant fuck you to Kespa for not doing anything to clean their house. | ||

It just feels like people here are totally okay with just accepting that SK is matchfixing, and it's weird. Fair enough that subtle mistakes can lead to a loss without anyone being able to say it was intentional, but I don't get why he's instantly a matchfixer now. | ||

People are quick on jumping onto this, but they aren't doing it because of how the game played out, but because the outcome confirmed the betting lines. | ||

Ofc he would then try his best. Just speculating: if he head planned to throw by failing a cannon rush he might not have had any other builds prepared. Might as well do the throw build without the planned mistakes. I know it's not really any proof, but the fact that this game was cannon rush makes the yet again accusation of fixing a match more propable than a "normal" build would. On side not fueling this fire with 0 official reactions keeps gnawing the respectability of the scene little by little. KeSPA / Blizzard really should do/say something as the issue doesn't seem to be fading away on it's own like they are hoping. I'd prefer anything over the silence at this point. edit: apparently the lines were the other way around (for SK to throw)... the rest of what I wrote still stands. | ||
