Matchfixing is a very serious offence and accusations of matchfixing should not be made lightly. Please avoid making accusations against specific individuals unless you have substantial proof, or until further information is released. (0620 KST)

I'm pretty sure the website loses no money...aren't they just an entity that hosts the whole process and skim a few penny's off every bet? Like the poster above said, it probably has to do with bets that triggered the system not actual match fixing

San was not outplayed in a really shocking way, was he?

The only debatable moment was when San blinked all of his stalkers into a roach hydra army of comparable size, losing most of his army. Protoss players get overconfident and do that all the time, though, and it wasn't the worst "throw" out there.

There was more than just that. He didn't mineral walk his scout probe and lost it to 2 zerglings, he lost his mothership core to one queen at dark's nat, and I'm only halfway through

This guy doesn't seem to know any more than anyone else, just happened to have bet on it.

Gotta love the "PinnacleSports agrees". Just like if a betting site is the authority in that matter.

No one has any evidence that San threw this game but by watching odds on pinnacle esports it is clear that someone put larger amount of money on Dark (5 figure amount probably) which is quite uncommon.
That's what this guy Oliver is referring to, it was indeed quite suspicious to anyone following sc2 bets.

No I can't believe this is actually real, when a 3rd party betting site calls matchfixing when Kespa itself didn't think it was dodgy?

And then who is this guy that claims it is correct? Random guy?

Well, hypothetically if there was a fixed match with odd bets how do you not expect the actual betting site to notice it ahead of Kespa?

I don't bet but I think it's the way the odds change depending on how much money people have bet on the players respectively

If you read the guy's timeline, he says there was so much action on dark (10s of thousands of dollars) shortly before the match that it pushed san's odds up to 5/1, which is certainly out of line from what you would expect for a pl match

So this guy noticed that the betting line looked different, says it could be being fixed, and then seems pretty sure after and is even saying that Kespa agrees that is looks very fishy? is there any source for that?? There is nothing on their twitter about it

He made lots of bad mistakes like this vs Life in blizzcon. Lost his MSC to queen easily, lost probe placing pylons etc. I mean it's not like he's a guy who hasn't made horrible mistakes before. His reputation for like the first 2 years of his career was based off that.
