But It's not like they agreed to throw an MLG or a GSL match beforehand. People need to calm down a bit and stop overreacting, he now forfeits his Code S spot and gets kicked out of the SlayerS house? What a joke. | ||

Wording and timing is crucial. If he said that, this incident wouldn't even happen. It's like someone saying "GL HF" at beginning of the match vs someone who said "GL HF" after placing a bunker next to a zerg hatchery. | ||

But they submitted them, and most of us were well satisfied to see their play overall. Much better than no games. If only there was some warning note, like: "Coca forfeits, but if you like you can cast these games just for build content value". Forfeiting isn't cheating. The insanity is the opposite -- trying to punish and coerce people into never forfeiting. Sorry, but friendship doesn't kill esports. If you read the chat it is clearly match fixing. Do you really want another savior incident in sc2? This is no where near as big but it could be just the beginning. I think the correct actions were taken. | ||

I mean really, this is like The Darwin Awards: Starcraft Edition. Natural selection killed their sc2 careers. | ||

Do people not realise that this happens all the time in minor tournaments though? | ||

Sad stuff, to see these progamers fall from their pedestals of crowning human achievement and sully their souls with promises of money and whores. Or not. That wasn't match fixing though? His opponent voluntarily gave up two games, with no influence from White-Ra at all. | ||

It could grant a Code A spot, but it also could not if the GSL format changes again after feedback from all the teams after this season and there is no longer room for Code A seeds. | ||

It's just two friends having a good time and messing around in some random online cup, people drop out all the time because they have better things to do. Yeah sure it sucks, yeah sure it might not be the coolest thing for the people watching. But It's not like they agreed to throw an MLG or a GSL match beforehand. People need to calm down a bit and stop overreacting, he now forfeits his Code S spot and gets kicked out of the SlayerS house? What a joke. QFT. And honestly, has it even been said if this was pre-meditated? What if Byun was just saying "lol leave dude" in chat jokingly, and Coca just figured it would be fun to play a deciding game in a small-time tournament against his friend? Byun deserved to be kicked out of that tournament maybe, but for both of them to be shunned by the entire esports community? Really? | ||

Realistically though, all this does is make players a little less stupid in how they do it though. The only way to make pros not cheat is to make it impossible for them to cheat. Relying on their good nature when there's so much money and pride on the line simply doesn't work. | ||

Yeah, they are actually lucky that they are this stupid (not in a personal way), because getting caught for something like this and being punished for this is better than getting away with it over and over until they are caught in the real deal. This is like a wakeup call to them. (and many other players aswell i guess) | ||
