Wow... such a statement would only convince a diehard fan that won't believe MK fixed no matter what.

100% agree with that. It would be disastrous if it were proven true, but that's better than if more strong evidence arose and they stubbornly sat on the replay in denial.

Not quite convinced. No mention of betting sites although it's probably the most incriminating element. No one cares that MarineKing plays awfully, everyone has horrible games, it's not enough to brand a player the Worst Stuff of eSports. But when he plays awfully AND people are obviously betting unreasonable amounts on him to lose, that's what's shady.

Are you really going to talk about preconceived notions? Short of his body hanging from a noose with tearstains on his lifeless face, MVP would have gotten this same reaction with ANYTHING they could have released, because minds were made up as soon as an allegation was made.

When all the evidence points to MKP being guilty here, you better come up with something better than "he said he didn't do it" before you conclude that he definitely didn't matchfix.

He played like utter SHIT yes, but that is not in any way 'evidence'.

Edit - This 'trial by pitchforks' shit needs to stop. Everyone being judge, jury and executioner based on their own opinions rather than hard evidence is bullshit.

They could just as well have said nothing. Completely empty statement. It's only purpose is to be able to say they've released one to make people shut up about it.
No mention of the bet voiding is pretty disappointing, because the suspicions weren't just based on his bad play, but his bad play combined with voiding the bet on the match. You don't have to prove it has nothing to do with mkp, just méntion it; take it seriously.

Everyone who knows a little bit of Marineking can absolutely confirm, that he is one of the very last players, that will ever fix a match in any professional sport/esport for monetary gain.
I for myself would guarantee that for now and for the future. And since this is all about him, I don´t get what´s wrong with you. Marineking allways has been an extremely dedicated and fair compender in BW and SC2. He is an extremely passionate hard worker and he was never the guy that cared about the big bucks, NEVER! I find this whole discussion absolutely disrespectful. You should all be ashamed!

Yeah, pretty much closes the case here. People are talking about preconceived notions but if people still believe MK matchfixed after this then they're the ones who can't accept that their point of view was incorrect. They already made up their minds and nothing MVP said will change their minds.

"Release the replay so we can make our own individual claims about how guilty he totally is because a player could never have a bad game." I'll trust the Koreans on this one.

And he's far from the only player to pull out a crap performance, even in recent times granted he's had other dumb losses in his past like nuking his own army... good times though.

I think that you have the right to doubt MK's word on whether or not he matchfixed, but I'm sure MVP did take a good hard look at the replay at least and didn't see anything super fishy. I would guess they did check if he saw the spine and the creep and all that, so it's no use asking for the replay imo. That's why this statement is not completely void of content.

UNLESS you don't trust MVP either and think they're either covering matchfixing or actively participating in it. In this case, well, they could have said anything really, you wouldn't have believed it either :D

What is evidence? It is quite likely that MK took part in matchfixing. What we can discuss is how much likely that is. Probability is very important when you discuss matters which can't have clear answers. It's like how modern physics tells that a stone can start flying on its own, but it is highly unlikely, that's why you don't see stones flying.

The facts you would consider evidence won't come up without proper investigation and it doesn't seem like anyone is doing that.

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.
