This to me is totally fine. No money was involved, it is done in many sports like F1 to let their other driver win. It is a flawed system is people can drop games to benefit them.
I don't think there is any debate on whether this is an legal issue or not lol

It's not matchfixing -__-

Why is this even a question? No, absolutely no.
What you just said even proves it - it's done in a flawed system. Flawed as in it needs fixing, that allowing it to happen is inherently wrong.

I do agree with you though. It's ridiculous how people are looking at this incident and acting as if it's the first time something like this has happened.

I have one word for those who think this is ok.

So what is the difference with this and with someone playing shitty on purpose? It's not traceable, or are we going to begin accusing everyone of match-fixing now. Only reason the BW were traceable is because there was money attached, connections with outside people. But if it's just two friends deciding on something, good luck enforcing that.

I think both teams did the right thing. Coca and Byun would be forever haunted by this incident had they not been punished- there'd always be that doubt. This way, they can both clear the air a bit before they continue competing, which I"m sure they will.
Besides, it's unlikely that this will last past February. Indefinite sounds scarier than it actually is, and I think everyone involved in deciding the punishment recognizes the actual scope of the scandal- immature, inappropriate, but not malicious.
Basicly this, no way is this punishment ending there careers, but it is a good way to clear the air. And show that Slayers does not stand for any of this.

The only reason this had any real traction was the title of the thread - Coca forfeiting his Code S spot? WHAAAA??? What could have happened that he would do such a thing?
The first couple pages show just how little people even knew about the incident.

Well, I gotta thank Skyrim for wasting my time properly instead of spending hours reading the latest drama threads. Anyways, this really sucks. Coca decided to play all 3 stooges along with Byun and throw a pie in his own face

We're not arguing whether it's traceable or even enforceable. We're arguing where it's acceptable, and that's an entirely different thing. Hell, I stole hundreds of packs of Pokemon and baseball cards from Target and Kmart and Toys'R'Us when I was a kid. Did the fact that no one ever caught me make it so I should legally be able to steal the cards? I shouldn't have to answer that.

Wow this is a really big deal. wtf. why would you ever think this is a good idea

Sigh. Poor kids this was really fucking stupid and I'll stand by whatever Boxer, Ga-Yeon, Mr Chae & Byuns Coach decide but I wouldn't dare put it on the same level of SAviOr. I feel bad for them cause they probably meant no harm but unfortunately that doesn't make it okay. I don't agree with what they did but I hope it doesn't end their pro-gaming careers forever since again, I just can't put it on the same scale as the BW matchfixing. They need to lay low for a while, apologize and hope that in the future they're forgiven completely.

There are many things i love about the korean culture, but this kind of disprportionate treatment by his team and punishment of a 17 year old is not one of them.
FYI, neither does the Olympics have any outcome or prize (aside from the medals) Olympic Gold medal valued at $1,100
I am pretty sure Tiger Woods' career as a pro-golfer would be over if he threw an Olympic event.
Can you imagine Tiger Woods saying, "It's just a thousand dollar gold medal, lol"

Coca was rapidly becoming my favourite Code S players; to wake up to such awful news.... I really do hope SlayerS take him back, and soon. With him and Idra in the Slayers house, I want to be able to legitimately talk about how scary SlayerS Zergs are, not just SlayerS Terrans.

1. CoCa and Byun are friends, no longer team mates.
2. There was money involved. The tournament was for $50(?) USD to the winner.
3. Most important point. It's an ethical and disciplinary issue, not a legal one. There are no legal structures in place to prevent it, but that shouldn't stop teams, organizers or regulators from allowing this to happen. What SlayerS are doing is merely setting a precedence that no matter how small the issue, it should not be allowed. Harsh? Probably a little too harsh. But it's a step in the right direction. What those two did showed a blatant disrespect for ESV and as professional gamers they shouldn't have done that. Problem is without SlayerS and Prime self-sanctioning their players this thing would probably get worse. An example needs to be made, and it's just unfortunate that these two got into trouble for it.

Ouuuuuch. Sucks to be Coca.

While I don't think match fixing should be allowed gotta give props to Coca for being a good friend.

But this is more like your random neighborhood-hosted weekly weekend golf tournament that Tiger Woods joined and decided to mess around with his friend. Still wrong, but definitely not deserving of a potential career ending punishment.
