Yes but they eventually had actual proof, not just betting lines

Why would he throw away not only his chance to get into Code S, but also at making WCS top 16 and going to Blizzcon? Why would the most popular BW zerg player (savior) ever fix matches? -.- There is no "he is so good and so rich he surely won't matchfix" logic. BW proved us that | ||

Its a battle of simple data vs emotions, and its clear on which side you are on. Its not an issue of "trusting a bunch of gamblers", its trusting the data. The data is out there, its neutral, its just facts. You are choosing to ignore it, but it doesnt make it less true. Your "data" is betting lines, that does not constitute evidence. Data isn't neutral when it is provided by someone with a staked interest in it. What the hell is wrong with you? | ||

What the hell is wrong with you? Yes it is neutral. Unless you are implying that Pinnacle is fixing/faking the betting lines to void the match before it even started. Is that what you are implying? Are you serious? Also, "a betting line does not constitute evidence" when it comes to matchfixing? Really? You are a joke, or a troll. | ||

No matter though, the only thing that does is that important people open their mouths about this. So far, none did.. :/ Edit: Also: 11 pages, sorry Gumba | ||

TL could do a weekly update on all the voided bets and suspicious games from that week. Or a page on liquipedia that keeps track of it. There could even be a leader board for the players involved in the most matches with voided bets. | ||

Even if it's hard to proof who exactly is fixing*, the evidence undeniably shows that it's happening and it's happening frequently. *Except MK. My reaction to that as I saw it live was: "He just intentionally threw the match ...", and that was before I knew about dodgy betting behaviour. | ||

Sorry but, these "data" are not facts, you didnt collect them yourself, you dont even know how they are collected, they are just presented to you, and you, because of reasons unknown to me, believe in them. the only fact here is that you believe these data to be true, you dont know anything. a bit of reservation would do you pretty good. of course all this doesnt mean the data isnt correct. and you are of course free to draw any conclusion you want from it. but lashing out to people who say these data are maybe not neutral, is i think far more than you should ever do, when all your information is just a press release of a gambling site. | ||

No, but do most threads have solid reasoning and discussion? Not really. I'm not sure if it's better to sweep this under the rug and just stop watching Korean tournaments for good or publicize this as much as possible, but honestly people should know they're favorite players are taking bribes. If I were a big Soulkey fan I'd like to know to stop doing that | ||

Problem is, community is still being treated as clueless sheeps. I am sorry but when Wolf says on air that "its best we all just forget about it" after the most blatant case of the matchfix - its pretty freaking offensive to any intellegent viewer out there. | ||
