Why would someone match fix and then associate themselves with a betting website. I understand that some people don't always think highly of progamer intellect but come on.
That's like solo forming a new team sponsored by the website he did the $322 stuff on like why would you even do that.

Good Luck to Kas, was getting scared for EU Terrans when Empire announced Kas's contract wasn't renewed but all is well again! Hope to see Kas destroying face in tournaments again!

Hope you can recapture a bit the strength that once made you the most solid EU Terran!

So, let me get this, Kas blatantly throws a game in his last WCS series or at least tries as hard as he can to give himself no chance of winning, then he miraculously ends up on a team sponsored by a betting site. Maybe he can become best friends with Savior next.

User was warned for this post


http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en/matches/kas-vs-patience/game-1

In the late/late game, he realizes his opponent is maxed or at least has to proceed as if his opponent is maxed, yet he doesn't have any interest in going above 170 supply, despite having a massive bank. At the end, he decides to engage into a ridiculous position at around 160 supply, despite having the means to max first, and then he decides, first time in forever, to make units, after the engagement when he is reduced to 100 supply and it's obvious he has to gg soon.

I understand trying to be prudent with where you allocate your resources when you're uncertain of how much incoming funds you will have and the idea of not wanting to have "wasted supply." Ie; over making vikings when they end up only being ground. But given understanding things like this, the game in question still makes 0 sense to me.

I simply think it's suspicious and Kas should explain his thought process, especially now that he has joined a team sponsored by a betting site...


can you explain how being sponsored by a sports betting site is related to any of this?


Don't you know that whenever you're cheating it's good to associate yourself with the site you're cheating on so that playa can make the connexion and unveil everything like a hero?


Seems like you can't even bet on sc2 on that site. I couldn't find anything anyway.

Well it certainly makes a convenient excuse. I mean look, there are already people using it in defense.

Not saying anything happened, just pointing something out.

Great decision Kas!

Screw the Russians and their team. One can't play in a team with people that wage a war on your country in real life, unless your goal is to knife them all in their sleep eventually.

What a horrible post! We do have an international squad, and we do have a lot of russian players, and no conflicts involved, we are perfect in friendship.

shame on u

Hey what if Tefel threw against Mvp because he had bet against himself?

Or maybe, just maybe, what if people just sometimes threw because throws happen, and what if maybe they didn't need people questioning their integrity with zero proof and a persistence that is largely uncalled for?


I automatically play like garbage when I know I'm playing vs a streamer. Nobody ever accuses me of match fixing. Then again I'm not good enough for people to have a personal grudge against me.


I'm pretty sure everyone does that, until they get used to it. As for personal grudges, the only time I play Kas are the few times he goes onto NA (rare). Hard to have a grudge against someone you don't have history with.

Kas made a conscious decision to not make units. That has 0 to do with playing bad in the sense of, o, I missed a force field or my macro slipped. It was intentional. I'm just deeply confused as to how a Terran can expect to beat a maxed Toss army with only 160 supply.

If Kas was playing with the intention of trying to win, then I'm still just as curious as to why. It would mean he is seeing the game differently than anyone else and has some kinda special understanding of the matchup.

If you want to defend the guy, start with explaining the merits for choosing to not make units. Anything else is completely irrelevant. You'd have to figure someone could just ask him.

Anomalies are interesting. I doubt I could find another pro t vs p game like it. Knowing your opponents unit composition and having the money and free supply to make anything you want. At what point do you consider making something? 10k/10k?

Even if he were to match fix, who could blame him. Given what I've seen, while having that much money at any given time is hard to accomplish, I'd try to do it myself...



User was temp banned for this post.


TLs double standards are very funny Some time ago some mediocre american pro player accuses another mediocre pro player (Themista) of being a maphacker. He posted videos proving nothing, yet nothing happened to him. When someone says he noticed some weird behaviour about a player he is banned after his second post. In general although TL is a very nice portal, I do not understand the way the admins act. I guess they have seen much shit all those years, yet that doesnt make their acting logical.

@AlphaProxy.

He has no proof and TL is not really nice with MatchFixing accusation with NO proof other than : "cascade have a betting site".

Because apparently when you screw things up in a match you are automaticly throwing intentionally. Maybe Kas saw he was quite dead, and was ticking. Sometimes when you play and you're like : "fuck that i'm dead damnit" and you want to lash out on balance you just throw your army at the guy because... well you're already dead.

In any case, the guy have no proof and is accusing a proeminent player of throwing a game but not just "throwing a game" but "throwing a game intentionally". That's really not the same thing.

And really if you look at the GM/Master hacking thread, a lot of people accuse other out of their hat, then you clearly see the guy is not hacking and nothing happens to the accuser when he was wrong. So i don't see your point. But if you really have trouble with that, you can make a thread in website feedback (mods will read that more easily than in a random thread).
Hope it helps you understand.

Well clearly you got my point. " And really if you look at the GM/Master hacking thread, a lot of people accuse other out of their hat, then you clearly see the guy is not hacking and nothing happens to the accuser when he was wrong."

I don't like double standards. I'm not saying this guy has proof but maybe the other people should get banned as well since they post bullshit. I don't get where you disagree with me. Isn't this bad for the players reputation? How is it allowed in those threads?

Well, it's because Kas is not a random player like the ones you see in the hackers thread. Also, accusing someone without proof will get you AT LEAST warned in the hacker thread.

There has been banned too in the thread i mentioned. So it's not really double standard. Apples and oranges it's not the same case

And again, if you feel it's no good, take this to website feedback where mods and admin will respond Because we are kind of doing backseet moderation hear. So, feel free to PM or take it to WF for mods to respond.
