Still better than matchfixing going unnoticed.

Can someone enlighten me as to the betting pattern that is so suspect? I mean 8:1 doesn't seem terribly out of line considering how MKP has been playing of late relative to Byul and paying out 1.091 for a bet doesn't seem terribly out of line if horse betting has taught me anything and given MKP's performances.
I get the game looking shady, until KeSPA comes out with a statement I'm holding judgement, but I was just curious if I was missing something with the Pinnacle swing.

Just look at the picture shown in the OP. ByuL being favored 8:1 over MarineKing while herO only being at 3:1 over Center isn't sensible.

Still holding off for a KeSPA announcement, but that is pure CJ bias, betting against MKP is sensible imo, much more decisive than the other match ups. That being for Byul specifically is off relative to herO v. Center though, I see the logic.

There is only one way he could be innocent in my opinion, He thought it was an overlord AND the betting line is a publicity stunt because this game is a perfect candidate to look fixed..

You don't actually can see ovies in the fog. I highly doubt MK would make that mistake.

Its true but at the edge of your base you could presume the ovy is still out of the fog, the difference between black and the greyish filter applied when its under the fog is sometimes hard to tell if you dont look carefully.
Im not saying he is innocent, but just imagine for a second, ending the career of someone who is not guilty,
Anyway if MK know for sure that he isnt guilty, he should offer a similar explanation in my opinion, I would go out and tell everyone, Maybe he got pratice partner that knew he would use this build before the game even started. Any explanations or thought on what happened from him would be welcome.

Except that it would require for bettors to know the future, and how the game would actually play out. But ye, good theory.

How exactly would this work? The betting lines changed before the game was even played. Well it would mean the bettors all knew at least ByuL's strategy and MK's average reaction to "scouting" it. So, the bets were made by CJ Entus' coaching staff and players. Clearly, this is the truth we should stick to <.<

Guys, I don't think j4vz is being too serious
Edit: nvm I guess :-S ?

The San/Dark game didn't look this bad. At least there he could just be like " I messed my control up" because that is a thing that happens (Life vs Innovation where a Reaper expand killed Life is a perfect example).
Huk described it best. I hope MKP is innocent but the way the game went down and the betting pattern just makes that so hard to believe outright.

Where is the proof of that? Any developer could change the timestamp on these things afterward to make it look like it was bet'd before.

Just look at the betting forums, these guys are always discussing the lines before the games start. So you either think they are all part of it, or you just accept that your conspiracy theory is a little bit tinfoily

Huh? Bets don't happen after a game starts. This is Pinnacle we are talking about. Let's keep this conversation sensible.

I would imagine people who put in hundreds of dollars watching the bet go through would notice.

The new liquibets are up. It's not proleague but yeah..
Fucking god dammit

Been rolling this around in my head for a bit, and I get the Pinnacle perspective, but feel a KeSPA/Proleague comment is necessary. Pinnacle is protecting itself, which is entirely reasonable for a betting business, but I would want to see some type of official investigation launched and indicating who was complacent in the alleged match fixing with the proper punishments (Bans from pro-gaming probably) at stake for involved parties.
As they say, where there is smoke there is fire, and rekrul points out there are signs that this is more widespread than we may be able to see from the outside looking in; I guess I'll have to wait and see what comes out and I may well be left holding my breath.
