Right, but at the start of game 2 is still relatively DURING the game, hence the decision was made on the spot during the game, as oppose to actual match fixing where the outcome was already determined between the two players (and possibly other parties) before the whole match even happened. Also, there is next to none benefit for either parties as oppose to real match fixings where money is actually involved. Finally, they actually played the game for real, all the way till the end; If the match was to be fixed, Coca would of made it a lot closer than it looked like. They just literally wanted to play a 3rd game, that is all. Is it still wrong? Definitely, but it is not match-fixing, and not a mistake that deserve this harsh of a punishment that can ruin a promising young player's career. | ||

Obviously this game was part of a tournament, and wasn't an exhibition game, but it's similar as it has no effect on any important, serious games. How can you compare a team and a player?... If a professional NBA/NHL/NFL player jacked off in the corner for half a game would you not change him for another player and tell him to straighten his act up or he won't play the next game or any game afterwards? I think so, actually i'm 100% sure. This makes more sense than what you were trying to say. | ||

I'm not saying that what they did was appropriate, or that ignorance is a valid excuse, but if they were actually attempting to fix the match they probably wouldn't have openly talked about it in-game. I think it was just a couple friends fucking around and not realizing the consequences. pretty much this. let's be honest, there wasn't much money on the line either, "only" 200$ distributed amongst the top 4 with 100$ for the winner, so they probably treated it more like a casual event. | ||

So one of the arguments for gentler treatment is that these matches don't matter. Two. These games are important enough for a player with a significant lead to drop a game just for the hell of it. These aren't the vaunted great games of code b. Edit: The foreign scene because it was much smaller and less serious has a long history of repeatedly allowing cheaters back in. Admittedly there were fewer good/competitive players so I suppose they were forced, though I am sure some sort of an old boys network might have come into play. ESV isn't a joke, if you don't watch the games so don't say bad things about it. Very good tourney and I prefer it 10x more than NASL. | ||

While giving the spot back to Idra is a bit far fetch. I do agree/can see how this messes up the bracket especially when you consider the new system having to play both Code S and Code A (if they loose in the group matches before ro8). Giving a free win will prolly be the outcome but having to fix the brackets up afterwards might be a pain. | ||

I'm sure the players didn't think what they were doing through. It wasn't some elaborate conspiracy that they thought about, They announced it in chat thinking it was no big deal.. they felt it was just a friendly tournament and they felt the tournament wasn't very serious at all, ESL weekly isn't the GSL or the MLG and im sure any player that plays in it is not taking it very serious at all. The punishment is extremely harsh. A Code S player playing in a tournament that is "beneath" him is the same analogy as Tiger Woods in a minor tournament. So tournaments should be treated lightly if they don't have a prize? That they can come and go as they please? That they can announce in-game that they can just quit because the other guy said so? Either you are a major tool or you really have no idea the amount of work and preparation it takes to organise a broadcasted event. | ||

No really... you don't even need to be in korean culture to understand this, its just common sense. Do you not know who slayersboxer is? Would this behavior been allowed in broodwar even for b teamers? no, and where did slayersboxer come from? I think the word started with brood and ended with war. Well if you read my previous post you would see I express my doubts CoCa made the decision of his own volition and not without internal pressure from SlayerS. Any respectable sports league in the world would have a players union immediately filing a complaint with the league and a lengthy review handed. What happens in SC2? A spontaneous reaction only hours after that is imo a huge overreaction probably made because the Korean public wants nothing less than a beheading for anyone that conspires in "match-fixing" (even though this wasn't technically match-fixing, at least not like the BW scandal). In the end CoCa made a bad decision but his decision should be met with equal enforcement. I don't find it acceptable to cut off a person's hand when they steal and I don't find it acceptable for SlayerS to force (and imo they did force) CoCa to remove himself from participation of all tournaments. The penalty enforced by ESV should be more than enough. | ||

I'm glad to see that this has been handled in an appropriate way and they haven't gone too far in their punishments... yet (we'll have to see what happens come Jan. 1st). But so far i agree with the consequences and it sends a very loud message to all the other players. | ||

I'm working very hard to learn Korean but I am having a lot of difficulty. Pre scanning is really not an option for us at this point. You can use sc2gears for that if you didn't know. It would be a quick way to check in the future. Best option would be to just not allow chatting tho. | ||

Though this is not as huge as the BW match fixing scandal which included illegal gambling and lots of money, it shouldn't be treated lightly. I just hope this doesn't become career defining for both these players are it was just a lapse of judgement on both players parts. | ||

I guess he treasured staying on the team more than his Code S spot. Furthermore, even if Slayers didn't tell him to drop it, GSL could always take it away from him, sort of like how they barred Choya from taking part in the teamleague when he was involved in the ladder incident. | ||
