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) | ||

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 Oh yes, there was that, but even then, forgetting to mineral walk a probe is a silly mistake, but it isn't one that exactly influences the game completely. In fact, I'd have said San was in a solid position until he did the rambo blink. Of course, I'm no expert on the science of fixing a match. I saw bigger match throws in that best of 2014 video that was recently posted... | ||

Assuming the opening line was something relatively close to even money, for a line to move that much, there have to be multiple, multiple max bets (I think the limits are only like $200 or so for these markets) streaming in on one side (obv Dark in this case). About as much smoke as possible here. Pinnacle is considered by nearly everyone in the sports betting world to be the most respected book out there. They aren't just going to cancel bets to not have to pay out a few thousand (lol at whoever said that). They were taking bets of 150k during the NFL conference championship games. This is peanuts to them. | ||

He's not only saying that it looks fishy, he is saying that San threw the game for money. There is quite a difference between the two. | ||

San was almost a 3 to 1 dog against Dark. That make an ounce of sense to anyone here? My SC2 following has tapered off quite a bit over the past 6 months, but last I recall San was a championship contender and Dark was a solid contributor for his team.

This is peanuts to them. While San can be a championship contender, especially in PvZ, Dark is one of the best players in the world right now. I think most ppl consider him a favourite in the match. | ||

I think most ppl consider him a favourite in the match. During the NSL Group Selections like 4 players said that they believe Dark is the #1 player right now. If you're wealthy, betting a 5 digit sum on Dark with 3 to 1 odds may not be the worst idea ever without match fixing involved | ||

I used to pay a bit of attention to the SC2 lines when we played a handicapping game on a different forum, and a line like that would come from an extremely lopsided match, think Innovation during the Ro32. You think Dark is that big of a favorite over San? If I'm wrong let me know, but it doesn't sound remotely correct to me. Swoop has been doing well betting these games for over a year now, if he says the line was way, way off where it should have been, I would tend to believe him. | ||

Ah well I guess i was wrong to expect more punctuation in a tweet that would make that clear lol I agree that Dark has been considered a much better player so it is not inconceivable for the match to have played out this way, especially since blunders and bad play just happen sometimes. It is understandable that the betting site would be concerned for the very out of normal patterns, but still hoping that nothing comes of this. Match-fixing in Korea is so serious that the careers would be forfeit. Can't imagine risking something like that on a proleague match | ||

He got sent out as ace both times SKT went to final match, over the likes of Innovation who's 4-0. And iloveoov is not excactly known for having bad judgement. Anyone who is a bit invested in the korean scene would've called Dark the clear favourite | ||
