Yeah the moderator banned the imposter.

Still though, you kinda have to golf clap this scammer. He hated Firecake enough to set up a hoax over Facebook, Skype, and TL in Korean, French, and English respectively. Would definitely not want to cut someone like him off while driving.

Unfortunate. I'm guessing this was a hoax or something considering the name he used, but it really goes to show how easy this can be. Either way huge respect to Solar for reporting it.

I wonder what firecake did, maybe someone is sick of swarm host stalemates.

holy shit, huge respect to solar.

this is so sad that people want to match fix again.....

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

when I saw the topic, I thought Blizzard invited Solar to its balance team to "fix the game" and didn't understand why they asked Solar in particular. Then I remembered other meanings of the word "fix". Do I even english?!


same for me lol, I thought Blizzard finally invited pros to work directly with the balance/design team :D
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

maybe a dumb question but what do they mean with fixing a match? i think it is losing a match on purpose so that the persons bet comes out. but im not sure.

Seeing Nal_Ra this upset was something else. This was right around the time I was really starting to become more aware of the BW pro scene and really keep up with it. Was never a sAviOr fan but I was a big fan of Nal_Ra, and the anger he had here was just nuts.

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

Isn't 2000$ a bit too much for a single match? I think this is a joke and Solar fell for it.

After reading this : http://i.imgur.com/Zec9H4o.jpg

For any french speaker it sounds so weird, especially for a conversation on skype

it really sounds fake, it's like a wannabe dialogue of a love serie.

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

Yeah, it's so pathetic and childish; probably written by some 16 years old who sure won't become a writer later.

If you are the real Firecake (your English is suspiciously good for a French guy ), don't worry. I doubt anyone really believes you have anything to do with. This is obviously the work of an impostor.
