The next step is permanent bans for players caught match fixing, and thorough investigations into both the cases that have taken place (mostly the ones a few months ago in proleague/kespa cup/starleague) and any future cases that occur I've noticed the teams have stopped fielding San and Marineking who were involved in some of the more blatant fixed matches, and Super seems to have mostly disappeared as has Soulkey recently, but others who were involved in blatantly suspicious matches/line movements remain playing in proleague *cough* Yoda (and Inno/B4 were also in suspicious matches, not sure who else off the top of my head would have to check the old threads) | ||

Increases viewership? garners interest etc? Because it affects game integrity. If a player decides to cheese because their friends have bet on their game going under 10 minutes, and not because they think that is their best strategy against their opponent on this map, then you can see how that's a problem. I love watching SC2 because of the competition, if the players are not trying 100% to win then what is the point in watching? This is definitely a step in the right direction for esports. | ||

Soulkey disappeared because he joined a foreign team (TCM I think) months ago. Super disappeared because he got picked up by KT a few months ago (and after his dodgy games vs Innovation and I think Dream) and their line-up is too stacked for him to be played. The lack of game-timer has a big impact on [apparently only some...] viewers; read my posts on the previous page for examples ^^. | ||

San disappeared because of Startale being acquired by SBENU which also dissolved the Startale-YoeFW Proleague partnership. Incorrect. Leenock still plays for SBENU. Soulkey disappeared because he joined a foreign team (TCM I think) months ago. So if Soulkey disappeared because of that reason then why hasn't Rain, Sacsri, HyuN, and other Koreigners done the same? Super disappeared because he got picked up by KT a few months ago (and after his dodgy games vs Innovation and I think Dream) and their line-up is too stacked for him to be played. This is correct. KT's roster is ridiculously stacked for Super to get a start in the lineup. | ||

Might I ask if the timer will be visible in the YouTube VODs on the ESportsTV channel? | ||

Do you have a source on any pro players not using the clock? It's very useful and disabling it for no benefit would be super silly. there is no clock in bw, no external plugins are used / allowed (in professional leagues). | ||

the only reason why i watched proleague is to look up builds and try to comprehend the reactions of pros during the game when they hit certain timings with the information they have. good bye proleague | ||

No it isn't a good point. It's simple: the whole change is about players being unable to secretly 'feed' bets. Players can't influence starting positions, and therefore there's no need to hide them. | ||
