Holy shit. This scene is so fucking pathetic to still sit there with 100% certainty that MK match fixed. Even though theres chat logs to prove they denied the money, that then brokers were jailed, and is launching a campaign to shut down illegal betting site (I presume with help from Police). Yeah pure KESPA PR bullshit right? Fucking idiots.

You guys need to know why KeSPA released such statement. It's not about MKP. There was an incident about Soulkey today.

http://sports.news.naver.com/sports/index.nhn?category=e_sports&ctg=news&mod=read&office_id=382&article_id=0000350211&date=20150507&page=1 (Korean)

So this is the article from Sports Donga claims that Soulkey is suspected of involving into match fixing which made the KeSPA to release their statement and also made me(perhaps all sc2 fans) shock.

And after more articles released with KeSPA's statement which say the article from Sports Donga has wrong information. They say 'Soulkey didn't accept the offer. It's a confinement case between a broker and investors.'.

Here's the one of them : http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2015050719452620500 (Korean)

So let me summarise the case revealed until now,

A Korean betting broker offered to Soulkey for a match fixing. -> Soulkey refused to the offer. -> Investors detained the broker after lost their investment(I'm not sure how they lost their money.) -> The broker felt threatened and asked the police for help -> The police launched an investigation and questioned Soulkey as a witness.(Maybe this is the part where the reporter from Sports Donga wrote the article.) -> After the article, KeSPA released the statement to argue with it.

So the statement is not about MKP's case. I don't know MKP did such that horrible thing but i just want to say that why KeSPA released the statement today is not to cover what MKP did. It's about Soulkey.

If there's grammatical error, I apologise for that. My English isn't good enough.

Is this about Soulkey vs Creator game 1 or another Soulkey game? Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not sure which match was offered but according to a rumour between korean communities, it's a match of the KeSPA Cup.

So the match that Soulkey refused to fix was not map 1 against Creator. In that case, that might explain how the investor lost money betting on Soulkey even when Soulkey refused to throw.

Assuming Soulkey has thrown games in the past, there could be a working relationship between Soulkey and this broker. It's possible that the broker put money on another game before asking Soulkey to throw, assuming Soulkey would do it. If Soulkey refused, then the broker might lose their money.

People have already made up their minds. Nobody who thinks MarineKing match-fixed (pro tip: he didn't) is going to be persuaded by even KeSPA saying otherwise. This being despite the fact that these were the same people BEGGING for an official KeSPA investigation/statement. But when they don't agree with it they'll just disregard it.

Huge LOL at clowns that still think MKP is innocent. It's one thing to say that it hasn't been proven, but there's something seriously wrong with how your brain works if you think it's more likely that he didn't match fix than that he did.

Kespa could release a replay that shows MKP moving the map over the building spine crawler and people here would still be like "well that only proves that he reacted poorly to the cheese, it doesn't prove match fixing." Utterly pathetic.
