Maybe TL can interview her?
Pinnacle voids Dark vs. San bets due to match manipulation…

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) | ||

Not saying that its not possible but I find unlikely that companies like SKT, Samsung and CJ would risk their companies good name to earn what would for the companies be small money. They are in it for the publicity, they wouldn't risk it all to do something shady like this and I find it unlikely all the teams are matchfixing while the coaches and teambosses don't know about it. Maybe its a thing what do I know but I thing its unlikely its as big of a thing as she makes it sound. I can imagine a group of individuals doing this but not as many as this makes it sound. | ||

Trying to get Blizzard to be helpful is like trying to get a sloth to run a marathon, it might happen eventually but it'll probably be a few years. | ||

Yeah this is more about online tournaments where big names are playing although the prize money is "only" 2k or something. I do not think this about KeSPA or Prloeague teams, but rather about small online streamers/tournament organizers. As she is personally trying to improve the scene on that smaller level through here own tournament, I can see why she is upset. But if Blizzard is aware of this, she should've stayed quite for now I guess, or go all out with proof and names. Another tweet: | ||

Her tweets seem to imply that basetrade is also involved in this betting scandal. Please someone get me more information, I am so thirsty! | ||

The idea is that a "sponsor" gives the tournament money on the condition that there is a long stream delay, so they can bet on the games while already knowing the results. | ||

Trying to get Blizzard to be helpful is like trying to get a sloth to run a marathon, it might happen eventually but it'll probably be a few years. regardless of how Blizzard is handling the issue, she should not have done this imho. She risks her job, career, credibility and if she has no proof then the whole move was simply a huge mistake. Blizz would never compromise themselves with such mistakes, and surely they were actively working on the problems, gathering evidence, etc.But this kind of thing takes time.

Ah I see, so this doesn't directly connect with the Pinnacle issue, unless of course Pinnacle is putting these small tournaments on their platform. Can anyone confirm if these small tournaments and showmatches can be betted on betting platforms? | ||

Thank you! SC2 in Korean need to be cleaned up. If one there were a esports association of some type. Like a governing body..... http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ski690 | ||
