This is the Google Translation of the "news story" (hopefully someone else can provide a better translation later) There was also some messages on IRC, and also the commentator Maven condoned it as well, implying it was real. I think a PM between the 2 players is pretty damning evidence? Seems weird to "joke" about something like that, its like making bomb jokes in an airport. | ||

I see. That means any TOP teams/players/stars are allowed to rig a match, which, no doubt, will piss off all the fans, ruin the spectator-experience, except of course, those who think that matchfixing don't matter because TOP players are allowed to do so. If the outcome has already been planned, then there's no point of watching You, sir, are terrible. | ||

Anyways, hopefully there is no truth to these accusations, I like both of them.  Hope it gets cleared up. | ||

On December 22 2010 15:02 ShootingStars wrote: please tell me how match fixing is cheating, like map hacking thanks TWO players in an agreement. unlike maphacking the key word is AGREEMENT. if both players agree, then its fine. its just like map choosing. both players agree to play on LOST TEMPLE, Are you joking? Obviously something can be cheating even though players agree. Let's say two players on a team agree one of them will win so that both can advance through groups. Clearly this isn't allowed, and even if they agree to do it it's still violating the rules. Otherwise, I am not sure about the validity of the claim in this article. | ||

What are you talking about? That's like saying that the Chicago Black Sox scandal is okay. It damages the integrity of the sport if stuff like this happens. I really hope this is false. | ||

Anyway, doesn't surprise me, MorroW has never been very high on respect in my book, I would have hoped for more from Sjow though. =\ I feel the opposite. I have a ton of respect for Morrow, and I'm pretty sure that he is well above this type of behavior. He's a good kid with a lot of discipline; but anyway, you gotta give the benefit of the doubt until there is some more credible evidence. | ||

Can we please warn ShootingStars? I don't want to be part of a community where there are guys like him who say that matchfixing is fine. I mean, doesn't TL have a reputation? Or are sewer rats allowed ? edit; wow mods are SUPERHUMAN | ||

If anything, I would say play the tournament, and then if Sjow is such a nice guy and Morrow needs it so badly, he can just give him the computer after he wins (if he even does in the first place). The only thing I don't like, is that now if they both get to the finals of this tournament, the whole series is going to be put in doubt about whether the players are actually trying their hardest. =/ | ||

Someone could easily photoshop this picture. Does anyone have these supposed IRC logs? Does anyone have any kind of proof at all? I highly doubt Morrow would be stupid enough to organize a match fixing while streaming and on an open IRC channel. I'm not saying cheating doesn't go on, but for god sake lets wait until some form of actual proof is offered up before we damn the two of them to internet hell. Otherwise these threads always just end up turning into crazed witch-hunts. | ||
