That would fix at least some of the problems. Unless the betting sites are in on it. And how do they know what the stream delay is? The thing is these illegal betters give the casters money if they d as the betters say. If the sites start closing it 10 minutes earlier then the betters can just increase the delay. Also I'm guessing a lot of the bets are going down during a match, like in the heat of the battle. Which means that many better probably enjoy seeing which way the match seems to be going and then betting, not just betting before the games. | ||

Its definitely in those games I'm sure. though probably far more sophisticated in LoL because of the iron grip that RIOT holds, it would need to be very well hidden and well managed. As it is for SC2 it appears to be mostly illegal betting in Korea and even then its not necessarily match fixing, but rather exploiting things for bets. | ||

Yeah, thats what I wanted to have clearified with my post. This has to be stopped, but the games themselves have not been corrupted yet. This isn't match-fixing ... yet. | ||

if you count looking at that gigantic television at worlds during the game, then it happened to LoL too. | ||

I hope this stuff was at least passed on to blizzard, but for blizz to deal with illegal korean betting is odd. At least as far as blizz is concerned, they dont let these tournaments hand out WCS points so all the major competitions are clean and we are more concerned with on the side tournaments and the possibility of these betters harassing individual players. Which is separate from worrying about the WCS matches etc being impacted substantially. | ||

I serioisly hope, that Blizz can give us something, or otherwise this was just a well excecuted troll from everyone (and that would be hilarious) Nope. Hasn't exploded. I don't think this is even well suited to a bubble of gambling, this is just a fairly minor (for a scandal) scandal that could have much, much larger implications. We'll have to wait for evidence to be posted to really say, but right now that's the only conclusion that can be reasonably made. | ||

The Evidence about that match fixing has happend and is happening right now is so high, we have to talk about it. But apperantly the big 3, Blizzard, Kespa and ESL do not care to give at least a presse paper out. | ||
