Byul is also the better player, MKP would have most likely lost even if it wasn't such a weird game. He didn't scout it intentionally though. When the CC got started, the Reaper was pushed down so it scouted the Spine. Unlucky for Marineking as that probably destroyed his career. And I do agree that if he was smart, he probably would still have reacted and send his Reapers down to attack it (because you can't really fake it), but I think most will agree that Marineking has never been the most logical player, and to be fair to him, he had to make this decision pretty quickly. Damn that actually makes a lot of sense. It was pretty planned and MKP had to decide whether to continue with the plan after accidentally scouting the proxy. So you're arguing that ByuL was matchfixing too?

Are we seriously arguing that ByuL (who is clearly the better player) would have been in on fixing this match as well? Come on now, don't be absurd.
|
If the replay was released it would be possible to conclude 100% if the creep was in his actual screen vision or not. Have seen pros crumble under pressure before, but that looks really shady.
|
Just curious, is the replay first person view precise enough that you can conclude whether he visually camera checked the dot on the minimap? The chances are he actually instinctively checked the crawler in his 1st person camera before deciding to ignore it.
|
Well if Marineking knew he was going to be proxied from the start of the game, then ByuL had to be involved in some way. But if he didn't know it, then you can't say that "he scouted the proxy by mistake".

Yeh I rewatched it, and wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. Guess he moved it to make space for the CC, but then immediately repositioned them once he realized they were in vision range of the Spine.

If ByuL isn't involved (which most people here believe) then he didn't know about the proxy before he saw the spine crawler building under the ramp. In that case, I think it's even unlikely that he didn't instinctively check with the camera what was building.

Edit: never mind, def moving the reaper.
He definitely moves it away as soon as he scouts it though.

If both players were to be involved MK, knowing ByuL's cheese, would have just CC first'd and died.

I was just keeping all the hypothesis in consideration. My sentence could be reworded as: because we can assume that ByuL isn't involved, then it is likely that the replay contains evidence against MarineKing if he's guilty.

Just being devil's advocate here, but anyone remember that match in BW when Jaedong had like 100units stuck on his ramp? He could see it on the minimap, I assume he moved his camera over it multiple times as it was near his expo. Yet he still had like 100 units stuck for 1-3 minutes or something. Biggest newbie mistake ever.
It happens to pros too.

It happens to pros too. We can point tons of games, probably in both BW and SC2, where pro players make really bad mistakes. This one gets particular exposure because of the cancelled bets (I mean no one yelled match fixing just after the game happened).

Two things:
One, if anyone can fuck up enough to miss a spine on the minimap it's MK.
Two, if he was throwing vs proxy hatch, why didn't he go cc first? It's a sure way to lose.
I just think it's too dumb to be cheating

I really want to read that Richard Lewis Report which was announced by Olimoley a few weeks ago now.

I just think it's too dumb to be cheating Say he is purposefully throwing, he doesn't necessarily need to know what Byul is doing beforehand. So doesn't need to CC first to be throwing.
I'm not sure it's possible to react that badly to scouting 1 base gas pool for that experienced a Terran playing at that level. The pressure of being paid / pressured into throwing could have got to him, causing such a fucking retarded way of throwing the game. Panicking when accidentally scouting the incoming all in etc.
Either that or it's just MKP doing what he does sometimes and playing fucking stupid, genuinely not checking what the dot on the minimap is and keeping his eyes/view on his CC / SCVs etc so he didn't see the creep or spine til it was too late..

I just think it's too dumb to be cheating This argument is ridiculous. "it is too dumb to be cheating" So if it looks like it could be fixed we now use this as proof that it wasn't fixed? How exactly does this logic work?

Still; if you want to intentionally throw a game, will you do the safe build or the risky one? just do the greediest build possible and hope your opponent punishes it. in marinekings case it wouldn't have been suspicious at all
