As a counter for them, you can watch the oldboy nalRa series, where he's training to go back into pro brood war, one the players he trains with at his house for a day was someone who ended up being caught up in the bw matchfixing scandal despite just being a shy, nice kid. Just because you are nice or a good person doesn't mean you cant be misled or led astray by others and not really appreciate the consequences of your actions, especially if have just been living in sheltered gaming houses all adult life. I don't think MKPs personality can be used as his sole defence. Considering the combination of people who are in the know, have stated how bad the match fixing is in sc2 at the moment, the betting patterns and the very questionable game. Together it suggests a very low probability MKP is innocent. the statement provides no evidence to suggest otherwise. | ||

also huge lol at all this burden of proof nonsense. marineking, a professional gamer for over 5 years who must have played tens of thousands of games, proceeds to play a game and makes a series of bronze-level errors leading to a trivial loss, while at the same time tens of thousands of dollars are being wagered on his opponent is very, very strong evidence, and his team coming out saying "we asked him some questions and he didn't match fix" does not constitute reasonable doubt. | ||

Same here really, exactly what I expected. So they either know MK threw the game and are defending him (most likely) or are just really dumb/naive. If they really wanted to help convince people they would release the replay. But they can't because then truth would be known, so as long as they don't it's just more "proof" really. | ||

No you were right in your statement. As I said his career should be over either way. If he's matchfixing it will come out eventually, if he isn't it's probably worse at this point because it means his game has degenerated to a point he'll never come back from, thus he shouldn't be playing anyway | ||

The burden of proof is on the accuser. It is not up to MVP to do the impossible, that being to prove a negative. It is up to everyone else to prove Marineking was involved in matchfixing. Thus far all they have to go on is Pinnacle suspending betting on that match, which is not an awful lot to go on. Suspicious betting activity does not in fact mean that there was any wrongdoing. I'm honestly a little surprised at some peoples willingness to just say "yup, he obviously did it and this statement doesnt convince me otherwise". Tell me, exactly what would convince you? How exactly could they convince you? They can't, they have no means to, you can't prove conclusively a negative. Release the replay. It's not going to prove shit. Honestly it's like I said, if they were smart. The players would have told each other in person what build they were going to do and MKP is known for having derp-tastic games. If it's true about the odds of that website and they've been known for doing sketchy business before then you might want to find out their contact information and who they speak to and try to track a paper trail of the money because this he said she said bull crap will only get you so far. Speculation needs clear cut direction. What? No usually only the loser is involved into the matchfixing, byul probably didn't know about it. I wouldn't say something as if it were an absolute when we're speaking hypothetical. Not only that a lot of the BW players in the match fixing ring did exactly what I just said. They gave each other a heads up as to what build they would do and the other player would turn a blind eye. | ||

Unless you do the latter nothing will change, because there are enough incentives to be lured to matchfixing (such as lack of income). I will say that MarineKing has lost my respect as a player forever and I don't think there is any excuse. If he couldn't financially survive or whatever then he should have gotten a different job instead of this. But in the end he is just a kid with no education who couldn't resist the money. I think more useful than punishing MK is to pressure KeSPA into investigating. I'll concede that booing MK whenever he plays in KeSPA events or something like that might be useful in pressuring KeSPA. I think getting at KeSPA through MK is something the latter can't really complain about given his unethical actions. | ||

And the most important thing is innocent until proven guilty, what we have here is one coincidence. This is purely a witch-hunt there is no real evidence against him from what we know. | ||

What kind of sick mentality is that? MVP wouldn't have kept him on if he was a liability to the team. You got your statement, it was clear and thorough, put the damned torches AWAY. LOL. You call that thorough? | ||

It looks like a statement from a bunch of buddies protecting their friend, and not a statement of a professional progaming team taking the matchfixing accusations seriosly and trying to address them. | ||
