Soulkey is a player who has a legitimate chance at a high finish when he's on form. 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?

I bet people said the same thing about BW match fixing allegations.


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

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

That's because it is bullshit


I am not sure why you so emotionally invested in this, but all your posts very weak when it comes to arguments.

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?

I just don't care anymore


This is why match fixing will continue. If we don't care, the game is dead. If we do care, we can apply pressure on Kespa to investigate. A few articles, a few tweets, it doesn't take much effort to actually do something about it.


No I don't care because this wasn't match fixing, nothing in this match was suspect whatsoever but this godforsaken excuse for a community is believing a bunch of gamblers over their common sense.


If you we're to throw a match how would you do it? Clearly a not very obvious way would be good. Everyone who has ever played starcraft have probably thrown lots of games by accident and subsequently raged. Throwing games in a non-suspect fashion isn't hard and it's done all the time by people trying their best to do the exact opposite.

This community is not using stupid excuses to witch hunt and forgetting about common sense. At this point probability answers the question for you. I'd suggest you go pick up a book about statistics and probability if you don't understand what is going on with the bet voiding. To simplify massively and make it easy to understand; each of these voided bets can be seen as an extraodinary event (like rolling ten sixes in a row with a normal die). In and of themselves the voided bets are very suspicious, but its hard to conclude that something weird is definetely going on. The same thing is true for the die example. Rolling ten sixes in a row is going to happen if you roll enough times, its just how probability works. However probability also says that if it happens enough times within a short span of time then maybe its time to check if the die is loaded. If someone rolls ten sixes in a row, goes to the toilet, comes back and rolls ten sixes in a row again you'll start to suspect that something is going on. Especially if you had money on that not happening. That is just common sense.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Wake the fuck up.


You. Have. Zero. Proof. Whatsoever.


No, there is plenty of proof, you're just ignoring it because you don't understand it.


and you don't understand what proof means.
Obviously there is match fixing going on since it plagued everything (Champion's League and WC in football) but the amount of proof is so small that nothing gets done in any sport.
Main problem is that betting is a cancer for any competitive activity.

No mate, you don't understand.

If I post next week's lottery numbers today and they turn out to be right, it's one hell of a lucky guess. But when it happens 2 weeks in a row, or 3 or 4 weeks, it becomes proof that I somehow know the lottery numbers beforehand and the lottery machine is rigged. This is what is happening in Korean sc2 scene.
Wouldn't that be called evidence? English isn't my first language, though.

Isn't it the same really?

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.

It seems, indeed, that that's exactly what he's implying. No matter though, the only thing that does is that important people open their mouths about this. So far, none did.. :/

it's true, the discussion doesn't seem to serve much purpose.

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.

And I'm ditching Korean leagues.

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.

When the bets getting voided weekly and ppl like Huk/Rekrul confirm matchfixing in korea its not really a speculation anymore in my opinion.

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

The purpose is to educate as much people as possible.

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.
