Holy crap. have you never followed anything in your life? Cricket players do this shit, and get banned from playingcricket at any level for years. It's BAD news.

As if this were not enough, Rakaka also been informed that one of the administrators of the Inferno Online's Starcraft 2 tournament, the famous Swedish SC2-commentator and turneringsadminstratören Marcel "Maven" Mattsson given his "approval" to the planned place match. Rakaka find Maven via chat in WoW where he comments on the incident:
"* aa yes have them talk to me * Like, you can not do anything * will not ban them either "
Rakaka.se have discussed the incident with Dignitas boss ODEE who can not comment on what occurred before he has talked to his players.
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.

okay whatever, call it however, but you guys failed to realize they are both in agreement.

you sir are obviously too thick to argue with and too dense to realize
fixed fights= lack of trust from viewers= lack of respect for the sport= sport dies and the players lose out on all thier money and time spent practicing.
a true genius would then take thier crapped on sport that noone respects and complete the circle, they would fix fights that are so awesome and so epic that people actually start watching it again even though they know its fake as california tits. and this is the story of professional wrestling.

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

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.

So they plan on winning all their matches and share the price money? Is that really matchifixing, I don't quite get it.
|
Meh the only thing that this will possibly mess with will be the level of play. However since they aren't screwing anyone over and the only ones that this will affect directly are the 2 players then I don't think it's that big of a deal. Not saying it's right but I think people are going to blow this up.

id bet that it was just some friendly shit like "yo sjow sup let me win the computer plz thx" and sjow is like "lol ok" and someone says OMG MATCHFIXING!!!

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.

Match fixing for bribes by a 3rd party is a problem. If a player however, feels like throwing a match just to help someone out, that is his own prerogative and is not cheating by any definition of the term. (whether or not it is some other problem is another thing)

how the hell do you fix a match without the agreement of both players????
also how does fixing a match not constitute cheating???
in boxing if a guy throws a fight ITS CHEATING!!!

I'm not even going to comment on how stupid this sounds. 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.

I don't know what to think. On one hand, when accusing top players of such serious shit you need to bring some evidence. But on the other hand, there is no smoke without fire... If that whole matchfixing turns out to be true, I would not be surprised. Disappointed, yes.
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

I'd be really interested to see the translation if anyone's working on that. It looks to me from the screencap that it's only Morrow saying anything. It would be nice if someone could look in the archives of the stream and translate the entire convo that happened. Did Sjow reply to whatever Morrow said? What was the context of the conversation?
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. =/

Why would they "joke" about fixing a match? "Random" PMs? How can you claim this isn't solid evidence? It was seen in the stream...

Where is the proof? 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.
