Agreed. Unfortunately it seems they didn't really prepare for it though..

Yeah, they didn't talk about anything except the betting line and the spine crawler/creep. Richard mentioned having had some information from the Korean side translated for himself but didn't go into detail.

probably not :p I think most people on that show are streamers not pro players, so viewbotting is of a bigger concern, whereas match fixing is more of a issue currently being raised in Korean progaming. (Also, we can't really do anything if Kespa do anything.)

There's so much discussion on whether or not MK's actions in game were suspicious. Thing is, whether they were or not, it doesn't change the fact that someone knew the outcome of the game before it was played.

Huk, Nathanias, Kane and Desrow favor match-fixing only based on the gameplay (not including betting patterns):

Pinnacle has previously agreed to be cooperative with Kespa and share their data, i'm assuming on betting patterns, IP addresses etc. Kespa have access to the replay at very least and potentially access to the players in questions computers/bank accounts to clear them or gather more evidence etc. i'm sure they could investigate properly if they wanted to, after all, the Savior scandal was exposed through a proper investigation.

If this goes unresolved and uninvestigated, opinions will vary on each implicated player's guilt or innocence, but it's obviously awful for the SC2 scene in general especially if matches continue to get cancelled after ridiculous bets are made and players heavily bet against go on to lose in suspicious fashion.

I do totally agree with you on that, and something should be done to force KeSPA to react at this point. But as you said, scandals are exposed through proper investigations, not through people spreading assumptions as if they were accepted truth. That will only bring bad things for everyone, and that's what some people are doing in this thread.

Yes, people who defend this play and the "coincidence" that there was a voided bet use many assumptions, i agree completely

I'm left speechless at such sick arguing skills.

It's a fact though, the only people with huge assumptions are the people defending his play considering we had a voided bet also.
You may not like it, but that's how it is

edit: and yes, all i have to add to this is to make fun of it, cause that's the only thing these assumptions deserve


Not really. I thought it was suspicious from the very beginning. I bet lots of people did. Just because this discussion is happening after the fact does not in any way mean people didn't have thoughts about the game that transpired. That fact that he threw down that third command is just mind boggling.

Yes that is true, but most people don't understand betting and this time it is linked with gameplay. It should open more eyes, but unfortunately it doesn't.

HuK didn't even notice that reaper was indeed moved intentionally. I mean that's not really sick gameplay analysis.

Huk actually makes a lot of good points that i agree with, especially about nothing going on in the game, that was spot on.

Look at when the scv scout enters the base of byul, marineking literally leans in next to his monitor to look. That alone (to me) shows that there is a legitimate chance that his vision is weak enough to mistake a spine crawler for an overlord on a minimap and to not notice the tile change of creep.

You know, the thing is, if this turns out to be true, MK's career as a progamer will basically have ended because he didn't apply his contacts properly/didn't play with glasses.

Ah yes I see that I am haha. I thought he was saying people are only calling out the play because of the voided bet.

It's a combination of the absurd amount of money bet on Byul, many standard deviations outside of what is bet on a normal proleague match and all on the same player, combined with the way the match actually played out.

It's not conclusive, but I think it's fair to say that if Kespa don't investigate that they're turning a blind eye deliberately as an investigation is clearly warranted. I'm hoping an investigation has already been underway since the first suspicions were raised but who knows. Additionally if they do find that this match was fixed, they need to look at the other matches in question (there may be some false positives, but there is a strong chance if one match was fixed several were, and we've all identified several of the suspicious matches in question)

The video Jarree posted is worth watching by the way.

I absolutely agree with Huk that this is by far the most suspicious game I've ever seen.
Saddest part is that regardless of guilt, the scene will be damaged.
