could the potential article have been so damaging, even more so than the savior incident? thats the only reason why i see it not being released. the match fixes have gotten so widespread, rewatching that mkp vs byul game made me wanna puke. ppl can talk about how much benefit of doubt thees players should get but i can see through that kind of bullshit from a mile away.

where are all these foreigners who were claiming that they knew it all along? why arent they going on the record?
terrible, terrible, damage

"According to her and other SC2 personalities, korean gamblers have sponsored small online tournaments with prizepools of $1-2k to be able to observe in-game, passing the stream delay. This allows them to bet "ahead" of other gamblers, thus getting a big advantage."

sry but as long as it is only this ... they only did hurt other idiots betting on ILLEGAL betting sites so why should we care ^^

online sports betting (and therefore esports) is legal in europe but not korea (and most of the us but that's not relevant to this)

I remember R. Lewis saying nobody is willing to talk to him on record, so I'm guessing no article is coming until someone will.


No one is dumb enough to talk to him on the record

For those who cannot stand the guy he sure does get a lot of credible information. Journalism: where those in the scene don't like you yet you still get all the information, ha.

Being a journalist is all about getting information people don't want to be spread, so when a journalist gets a lot of hate you know he is doing it right.

Ummmmm, what?

And here I thought journalism was supposed to be about unbiased sharing of accurate information, but according to you, the heart of it is throwing dirt at people? >_>

Nonono, but if information was open to anybody we wouldn't need journalist, they make the dirty work wich is why they are hated, its still unbiased and accurate information, its just hidden from people (mostly because of personal interests)

If you only dig up information that people try to hide you are not unbiased though. You are digging up dirt. I think the main part of journalism is just to extract and spread information that isn't widely available, or just not highlighted enough.

Just going to CNN.com and picking the first few stories there:
- 10 year old survivor story from nepal earthquake
- medics racing to avert health crisis in nepal
- three other stories about damage management in nepal
- refugee rescue outside italy
- some archeological finding

I wouldn't say many of those are based on information that someone is hiding. Maybe you are used to more gossipy news sources?

Anyway, I feel we digress, sorry.

in actual journalism, you need two or more independent sources before you move on a story.

but then again, this is ESPORTS. memespeak and upvotes will suffice.

Investigative journalism is a very real and respected branch of journalism. It's not the day-to-day reporting that CNN almost exclusively does (and which, in Starcraft, applies to sorts of things like TL recaps) but it is important. Good investigative journalism is and has always been something that many journalists hope to achieve someday.
