EDIT: I would like to concur that this is too public to be malicious match fixing. "Brain Fart" is perfect to describe what Coca did. | ||

Every incident of a player throwing a game isn't "match fixing". Nobody had this reaction to that random guy in MLG that threw 2 games to his own detriment to put WhiteRa on even ground when he was late. Nobody is demanding Idra get banned for life for forfeiting games to go get some sleep. It's pretty common knowledge that players throw games all the time to try to secure themselves better bracket spots in tournaments and we don't get out the torch and pitchforks. We crack jokes and laugh at the absurd games two players that want to lose produces. Or in the case of the guy forfeiting two games to WhiteRa, praise him (And let's be honest, it's not because he's being honorable. It's because we like WhiteRa...) If you read the actual chat and see the tone of it (in Korean), it's pretty clear that it's just two guys screwing around. So why the need to crucify them when you let everyone else off the hook? | ||

The reason why that was so serious is that online-betting sites and large amounts of money were involved. This doesn't even compare in terms of severity. Yeah, it makes the tournament look like a joke to these players, but it's not comparable to what went on last year in BW. What about MVP vs. Nestea at Blizzcon? Has anyone managed to convincingly argue that that wasn't match-fixing between two teammates? Has anyone managed to convincingly aruge that there was match-fixing? No they have not | ||

This is the same shit, participating in a tournament and not playing your games all the way through. If I remember correctly, the guy brought his workers to the corner of the map and left the game after GGing. How the fuck does CoCa and Byun get so much shit when that guy was fucking praised? Both players threw games and that is by definition match fixing...what I'm saying is that the punishments handed out are too fucking harsh. I'd understand if both players were taken out of GSL and banned for a few seasons, but a life ban is not fucking acceptable. This inconsistency in the enforcement of integrity of the tournaments is really pathetic...and both the teams and tournaments need to rethink this through. ill say this one more time. White-Ra showed up late and MLG fules forced him to forfeit even though White-Ra offered to off-race or play down a game. The player was protesting that fact it was not about the extended series advantage. so please stop comparing the two. | ||
