And this proves that the concept of a 'witch hunt' is still alive and kicking.

From what i know of MK, i don't really think anything dark is afoot.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

MKP even disappoints in Matchfixing *_*
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

most of the arguments put forth to defend mkp here(I am talking about arguments that it is unlikely he fixed. The arguments that it is likely he fixed but we should have 100% proof I have no qualms with) have been along the lines of he's too nice, or he's the kind of person who would never do this sort of thing.

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.

yeah, this statement satisfies nobody and says nothing much, mvp are clearly not going to come out and throw marineking under the bus, it's more or less the standard corporate whitewashing that everybody expected

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.

Exactly this, I did and most people in the other thread(s) as well probably.

Hoped for something different but expected this.


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.

You don't know anything of MK (or you are his close friend or his relative?).

I'm going back on my former statement that marineking's career should be finished since if matchfixing really is rife in proleague it makes no sense to single out individuals.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

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

So I'd like to ask the thread exactly what they expected out of TL. 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.

Well, I think it's like arresting low level drug pushers instead of going after the cartels. 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.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Except in this particular hunt:
- one of the ex-slayers confirmed the existence of witches
- the wizards of Pinnacle reported occult abnormalities involving the Marine King
- he threw like a blind old lady

Marineking was without a doubt NOT the betting favorite, he has not been playing well for a while now. Not being the betting favorite + large amounts of money being bet on Byul would mean the payout would have been relatively small (which i would think does not outweigh the risk of matchfixing). And honestly this isn't even the most incompetent thing that's happened on a broadcasted match. There was a game where JAEDONG had blocked his own ramp and half his army was stuck and he didn't notice it for almost 10 minutes.

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.

They aimed that stament either towards a part of the community who will believe that MatchFixKing is innocent no matter what (because he is such a NICE guy), or just towards the unintelligent people in general who will swallow any bullshit without much critical thinking.

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.

Do we know for how long this 2nd matchfixing incident has been going on? If im not mistaken it took kespa a long time to come out and ban players in the Match Fixing Scandal, hopefully this time, despite the reaction nevertheless being slow on their part, some legal action is taken faster.
