Samsung Khan's Solar revealed that he received an game-fixing offer through his facebook.
He posted a captured picture on his facebook. It was a message from his facebook friend named "Lebbe Sebastien" and the content was shocking.
The translation for the picture:
"Hey Solar"
"Yes?"
"Can you fix a game? I am offering 2m won(approximately $2000)"
"I'll block you"
"ok"
"bye"
"Either way you will lose to Vortix. Why wouldn't you earn 2 m won?"
------------------------------------------
Solar posted the picture as soon as he received the message, and people advised him to report it.
The reason Lebbe Sebastien was able to send him a message was that Solar accepted his friend request. As progamers usually accept friend request from fans, a way to directly contact was made, and he offered him impudently.
A KeSPA representative said Recently, approaches to players through social media are increasing. We are getting some reports from players and teams, and responding by cooperating with the appropriate authorities."

Hello guys,
First I have to thank the persons who warned me and this is my real account.
If I understood well all the stuff, we have a Facebook person (you can create a million of accounts with the same name on Facebook) who has a contact with Solar to arrange VortiX-Solar in Fragbite Masters.
1) FireCake is a really intelligent person who would never use his real name on Facebook. Nobody is enough unbrained to add someone on Facebook, give such a deal to the person and then hope the guy will accept whereas he does not know you...
2) Why could he arrange Vortix-Solar? He does not know any of them and did not play this competition.
3) Look at the FireCake's playstyle: he dislikes bets and I do not think this guy is able to bet anything in his life, especially 2k whereas he is a student in the real life.
4) I guess the fake TL account "Stabilo" with one "L" is a good evidence. As Faust said, I am always busy on skype because I receive 2000 messages a day... Someone wants to hurt us.
Well, nobody believed it here but I have to write officially: I trust FireCake and I know you did not contact Solar.
The real question is not "Is it the real FireCake?" anymore. The new question is to know "Who tried to make this shit?"
Someone (and they could be several persons) tries to fake my player FireCake and me to hurt us or even Punchline. We know this person knows French and even knows our skype's names, which made me really sad because it means we are "friends" with them
I feel very sorry for everybody. We are very active team to promote Starcraft II and we all do not want to hear things about matchfixing. I hope everybody will understand that we did not take any part in this story of matchfixing.
Have a good day

Hi guys,
My first reaction to this drama was "lol".
But I fear that if Stabillo (my manager at PunchLine) took the time to wake up me this morning he expects that I develop a little more ...
I never tried to matchfix one my games and I will never do such a thing. I play sc2 because I love this game, I love practice and give the best of myself. I guess the reason mentioned for this matchfix is money. Honestly, if I played this game solely for money I think i would have have stopped this game a long time ago and I would focus all my energy on my engineering studies.
I don't know what else can i say, i proposed a showmatch between Solar and me to end this drama, i think that could be funny :D
