EPTThe whole scene is a joke. Matchfixing is almost happening WEEKLY at this point and no one cares, no one does anything.
Enjoy watching the scripted matches.

Basically to put this in say tennis terms, this is like Nadal being a 3-1 favouite over Hewitt to win the match but Hewitt is a favourite to win the first set. It makes no sense. SC2 has maps that have a huge effect on a single game, so it´s really not the same. | ||

No, saying "But the betting patterns were TOTALLY suspicious!" is NOT sufficient proof to outright accuse a player of matchfixing. | ||

It's not my place to decide whether or not the match really was fixed, and who were involved. It's shady as shit, sure, but what if SK wasn't involved? the problem is that offical statements are not happening. match fixing in korea is well known to insiders | ||

Is there any player you think have a huge advantage on a specific map but a big disadvantage in a series (that includes that map)? It doesn't exist. The only explanation is that somebody bet A LOT of money on Soulkey losing map one. So why would someone do that? Even if they knew Creator had a super build for the map, it's not that strange to see Soulkey holding it off. After all, he is the favourite. No, the only sensible reason someone would do it is if they KNEW Soulkey would lose that map. Only one way to know that  | ||

The odds suggest If they played 100 bo5 series, Creator would win approx 31 series and Soulkey would win 69 series If they played 100 bo1 maps, Creator would win 74 maps and Soulkey would win 26 maps Does that make any sense that bettors would think that is logical? How can you be a favourite to win the most series if you aren't a favourite to win the most maps? | ||

Well people are watching wrestling(and I don't mean the Greek-Roman wrestling), right?  Edit> Not sure how is the "proper" wrestling named in English, since you named "ananas" the Pineapple | ||

Maps have 5% effect on the game at best, we are talking about a solid favorite turning into 30% (or worse) underdog. If you dont have a clue about the betting you shouldnt post foolish comments. | ||

If you bet 100 dollars on Soulkey, you get 300 dollars back if he wins. If you bet 100 dollars on Creator, you get 100/3=~33 dollars back if he wins. | ||
