Props to FireCake and Solar for moving past this at light-speed, before any idiots take out their inappropriate pitchforks

The fake skype conversation was hilarious tbh, it looked like a script written by the worse film maker in the world. Even a 5year old boy wouldn't believe it was real.

As much as massing up swarmhosts makes you one of the most horrible people on the planet, FireCake probably didn't do it.
Props to Solar for reporting it.

what would firecake even gain from this game?

Exposure?
Even if he can't muster a single win, he gets his name out there.

Is there any possible way to track down an emposter like this ?

This is super important to get "lightened up" i.e. - revealed - very quickly.. I think..

EDIT: Props for Solar for on-time reporting

It's discusting. Why would someone want to hurt a "no name" team. Punchline is a great French team but it's practicly unknown outside of France and Firecake.

This is really really sick and twisted. I can't even try to think why someone would take lengths to do something like that. I mean.

Obvious this person knows Stabillo, Firecake and punchline and French and Korean, so that's someone they know... It's just... i'm baffled. This is really twisted and ... i don't have any words for this. It's just a freaking fuck.

Glad it was found that it was an imposter so punchline name is clear.

Do we know if the KR employed in the screenshot is correct ? That might help them found who did this.

OR - one person who knows Firecake and Stabillo, French, and has (money to pay) a Korean accomplice

is conspiring to fix an online esports match something korean authorities would even take seriously? how common is this, really, and is there any real policing of it?

if it is a serious offense in korea, can't solar just show the facebook message to the authorities and let them take it from there? and if it is not taken seriously, there's nothing we can do unless the imposter reveals himself somehow (which is likely, as people who do this sort of thing often brag/want attention and fame)

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

Now that's a great idea! A BO9 FireCake vs Solar showmatch should silence all the drama around here for a week or so.

For a week unless NaNiwa strikes back

EDIT: Interesting situation and development. I wonder how frequent such occurences are - the fact that the number is increasing is no indicator.

There was about 10 other individuals aside from Savior so kinda bad on your part for singling someone out specifically when others were involved.

Either way, match-fixing is always and always going to occur within Esports whether we like it or not. Unless someone comes out about it there isnt really much we can do in regards unless its pretty obvious within a game (but even then it can still be tedious and difficult to determine).

I actually did my thesis on this matter for a ethics course a few months ago and comparing what I saw/read/knew then comparing it to today's research into the matter was definitely a shocker to see.

"Is match fixing a serious thing in Korea?"

Say what?

Why is it that everyone just assumes there's only one guy doing everything? Why can't it be that someone was like, "oh hey, I'm a troll, I notice that this korean guy used the name "Lebbe Sébastien", let me create this picture with the purpose of trolling people, ahah I'm so smart and superior"?

It seems magnitudes more likely than the alternative to me...
