Match fixing involves players losing on purpose, this sounds different..? It's still all sorts of illegal either way, and could be extremely harmful to SC2s repuation. | ||

To be fair, if Blizzard revealed anything without proper evidence, the perpetrators will stop everything until it blows over. Blizzard smartly stayed quiet so that the perpetrators can continue, thus giving Blizzard more evidence. | ||

Matchfixing could be involved, but there's no evidence for that yet. | ||

Now how many (if any) accepted, nobody knows. But if MMA had to delete his facebook page, because those offers kept coming, it's quite serious. | ||

But the "Where did the money come from?" list seems over the line of pointing fingers without solid direct evidence. Its not really pointing fingers, I mean holding a tournament and not thinking through who the sponsor really is isn't really such a bad thing. I'm not saying its good or anything just that its far from being as serious as calling someone out on matchfixing. | ||

Blizzard doesn't even care about it's own ladder system, so why would they care about the tournaments being run? People always finding a way to bash sc2 and call it a daedgaem actually impresses me | ||

And by all I mean the betters/players/coaches involved, dealing with tournament organisers is probably a murky area, given how we don't know how much information they knew in regards to who the sponsors truly are and the experience of the organisers in question running the tournament. | ||
