Hmm, insider gamblers ... This whole "deal making" idea is looking full of integrity. What's your point? People want to split their money so what? It's their money to do whatever they want with. | ||

Only speculation, but it wouldn't surprise me. Fayth didn't mention them, though he's said that he thinks Losira and NesTea must have chopped. It would be dumb not to split for Blizzcon finals if MVP and NesTea get there, anyways. | ||

In the end, their plan didn't end up working either. That's a good lesson. | ||

It's different because that is part of the contract the player agrees to when signing with a team. Has no impact whatsoever on tournament integrity. | ||

If TT1 really did throw away a couple of those games, then he deserved it. Agreements like these completely ruin the spirit of competition, and is a huge middle-finger to the fans that waited to see two deserving players duke it out for all the marbles. Hopefully in the future, players will learn not to make these underhanded agreements. TT1 got his comeuppance, and it'll be funny to see if Fenix gets a taste of karma in the future. there's no such thing as "he deserved it" wtf is wrong with you people if TT1 really did throw the game where he went carriers then it's stupid and annoying for the viewers and his own reputation what Fenix did is an entirely different matter, he backed out of a deal he agreed to, this is stealing... | ||

Have fun, dude. That is fucking awful. SC2 pro's should feel awful about themselves right now. I bet SlayerS is doing bad in GSTL because they already have there hands in the other teams pockets. I know Frank and Tranqfx of Reign personally, Im gonna go ask them about this. EG Dignitas and mouz are on my shitlist now. | ||

I feel like doing it before a tournament is saying, we trained together, we worked together, let's share the rewards together. | ||

There are conditions that players agree to when entering a tournament. Tread carefully if you choose to violate the conditions the tournament imposes. | ||

One doesn't spend that many hours a day out of free will to become among the best in the world on it just for money, there are plenty of other better ways to do that. You sit down hours with starcraft a day becoming a pro because you love the game, and I think most pros can agree that if they have the minimum of a decent income it is more important how well they do than how much money they get. If a pro gamer was given the choice of getting 1st place but half the money or 8 place and compared to 1st, twice the money, then I sincerly believe most if not all pro gamers would pick 1st place. It is fame and glory on the line, not just money. Money is mostly if not always picked when it is necessary, not when it is just "nice to have" or something along those lines. I also would promote this between teammates of around equal chances to win, helps with keeping the spirit up, to grow a stronger friendship and I believe give better games. My immediate personal opinion (personal being what I like, not what I logicly think) on the matter of non teammates doing it is, that I dislike it. Do note all of the above are my opinions (Though I do consider all, apart from those explicitly stated otherwise, to be based on a fairly objective and logical PoV.) To summarize: I am for it between teammates of about equal chance of winnin; I am unsure, but tilting towards "no" in other scenarios as of now. | ||

The only players who will on average net a profit from flying across the globe to MLG would be the 4 koreans put in group play. Everyone else is playing for love for the game, competition, or for sponsors. Just because players like TT1 ignore all incentives except for cash prizes doesn't invalidate any argument. All it does is prove there are idiots out there who don't give a shit about the game or competition. TT1 proved that a long time ago. Thats why TT1 will probably never have fans and that's also why he should go find a new job anyway if all he wants is cash hahaha i dont care about the competition, thats the only reason why i still play this game u think naniwa is a hardcore competitor? just because hes been in the spotlight much longer than me that doesnt mean he has more heart/drive than me, u dont know the half it bro i promise u theres no one in this game that wants to win to more than me, whenever i get knocked out of tournament i dont even stick around in the tournament area because i feel so ashamed of myself, youve never seen me once i get home after one of my failed mlg runs, i get so fucking depressed that i start thinking my future and whether or not im washed up and should quit playing, u dont know wat goes through my head so pls dont act like u do | ||

How the fuck does the world work were you live were a person intent of doing something wrong, then backs out and you think it's bad. If I make a deal with someone to throw a game or fucking kill someone, and I realize no I don't wanna do this. Is that wrong in your book? I need to "keep my word". This ain't the fucking Godfather. Get real son. | ||

I mean, you can have an agreement, and you might have a clear intention of keeping that agreement alive, but that doesn't prevent you from doing your best. Because the money will be shared, it doesn't matter who wins. So then why not make sure the best wins and fans see legit games? In the end, their plan didn't end up working either. That's a good lesson. this is starting to get frustrating lol their plan didn't work out cuz fenix is a lying greedy bastard | ||
