He wrote a very good article on matchfixing in CS:GO if I recall correctly. This is something I'd definitely trust him on.

I think the WCS handbook prevents sponsors from gambling, alcohol/cigarettes, and adult entertainment industries. The betting sites sponsored the tournament, and secretly. If they tried to outright sponsor their own events, Blizzard would shut that down. In before Aeromi.... :> Aeromi, I'm curious, what are you gonna do with your time once/if the handbook gets released? Prepare the campaign for WCS 2016 2014 : French stream 2015 : Handbook/schedule/location 2016 : ?

Why you gotta make me work for it. Now I have to check all the wcs games for a terran who just joined a team

Or you could just not bother? I am not bothering. It has no bearing on the issue at hand.

A quick google search showed he was referring to Kas.

Probably a good idea to not name any names until there is at least a preponderance of evidence against them...will only do more harm than good before then.

In retrospect a google search makes more sense than opening up liquipedia and searching each terran in challenger

Implicating Kas has nothing to do with this discussion. The situation revolves around Korean players only.
I am surprised Cascade is allowed to sponsor a SC2 team, when its clearly against the handbook (going by 2014 handbook of course *ahem* *glances at Aeromi*) for gambling sites to sponsor a team.
I didn't even know Cascade's sponsor is affiliated with gambling.

Personally, I just searched for 170 in his post history, found it in 5 seconds.
I don't think Kas is match-fixing though, and it's not relevant to the topic of this thread IMO.

Winamax is a poker and betting website and it has been sponsoring Millenium for ever and Fnatic for the last 18 months. I guess as long as you can't bet on esport it's ok.

He's always delivered?

Seeing as the whole "Kas" thing started when somebody posted their own personal suspicious of him because he "didn't go above 170 supply" in a tournament and signed with a team that was sponsored by a betting website, and isn't based on any actual evidence, I think it's highly inappropriate. It'll only lead to more bad than good. If he is somehow involved in this, then that information will come out in due time.
Olivia already has said she knows who the alleged players are, and has sent that information to Richard Lewis. No need to jump the gun and make damaging accusations.

i would probably believe that they were not paying close attention to all the sponsors more, than them making exceptions for certain types of gambling over others.

So what kind of money are we talking about here?

My educated guess is tens of thousands per match/(tournament).

Wasn't there some large article on NASL that was supposed to happen at some point?
That didn't come out when I wasn't looking, did it?
