If sports betting goes away, it just goes to illicit channels and we never have this topic in the first place, and the match fixing goes on regardless. If anything, sports betting needs legalising and regulating in more places (looking at America as well as Korea, if anything their stance is even more ridiculous) which'll give more security to everybody. It wouldn't surprise me if Kespa's not actually co-operating with this in the hopes that Pinnacle moves out of the SC2 market because fixing is endemic, and then without the blatant evidence from line shifts, it can just be ignored in the future. Much easier to brush things under the carpet than actually clean it up. edit - adjusting the prizepools for individual leagues so that lower players can actually get decent money might help a lot here | ||

I was really interested when Wolf promised to translate some korean comments. But its understanable that there is a chance he would never get to it since he is probably super busy atm. | ||

Yeah, I would like to hear from TL though, if they contacted KeSPA for this particular match (I know Lichter did for the other voided matches). | ||

I'm not sure that the ex-eSF teams pay salaries apart from Prime (and I doubt that Prime's salaries are very high compared to KT/SKT/JAGW/Khan/CJ) | ||

I'm not sure that the ex-eSF teams pay salaries apart from Prime (and I doubt that Prime's salaries are very high compared to KT/SKT/JAGW/Khan/CJ) This is possibly also a significant factor, and I don't know the internal working of progaming teams in terms of salaries or if individual prize money is distributed within the team at all, but just look at the upcoming code A - drop out of it and you win all of ₩400k, good luck, see you in four months. Win through that and you double your money - you don't even break $1k unless you make the top 16. At least now there's the SSL to give another way to make cash, but they only pay the top 16, people not making the top 8 didn't make a grand, and over half the total prize pool went to Maru. If your sport is designed as such whereby such a huge proportion of prize money going into the system is going to a small amount of players, and salaries are low if they exist at all, then you really shouldn't be surprised that players either quit, move to easier markets, or be tempted to obtain money through other methods. | ||

Do you know how many times pro players have fucked up beyond any reason? a lot of times.

He scouted a Zerg with no natural and late pool and reacted the way he did (on top of the spine wihin vision etc).. Dude, that's really too much. Not that it matters considering we should assume people knew he was going too lose.. Face it, it's highly unlikely he didn't match fix :/ | ||

You are an idiot comparing this match to really any game out there. If you can't see the difference than I'm sorry. | ||

These huge sums of money were last minute right? Anyways, despite how ridiculous it sounds Kespa might just try and ignore this. The SC2 scene has never been widely supported in Korea. Acknowledgement of a match fixing scandal would likely dissipate the little support the game still has. It is unlikely Proleague would survive, putting all the teams' players and staff out of a job, not to mention void the sponsor deals that were pretty difficult to come by in the first place. Kespa has the responsibility to keep their leagues clean, but they also have the responsibility to protect their teams and employees. I feel the need to protect the SC2 scene overrules the cleanliness of the scene at this point, at least until LotV arrives and SC2 can get some new traction. I predict they'll let this blow over and come with a statement when things have a better chance of stabilising (aka not exploding). | ||
