EPTYoDa, B4, Gerrard arrested for match-fixing - Page 50
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
Based on the official Police investigation, only the above players have been implicated in matchfixing. There is no reason to further accuse other players and teams until we get more information. Incessant blind accusations will not be tolerated. Please read the thread and the updates before posting. As of page 54 we will be moderating against match fixing accusations for players who were not caught in this incident, including those using voided Pinnacle bets as evidence. | ||

Yes this was the same dumb argument people used to defend against the original accusations (until MKP incident). Don't you understand how insanely easy it is to lose a game of Starcraft? If you are not on your A-game you are not gonna win a game in PL. In order to lose you just need to have slightly suboptimal micro, slightly suptimal builds, slightly suptimal macro and timings. The MKP incidence was the extreme rare occurance where you can actually clearly see how MKP lost it intentional, but that was due to an extreme "unluck" of MKP unintentionally spotting the creep on the minimap. | ||

Gerrard never paid salaries to his players, he even prohibited players to use air-conditioner in team house during this summer (maybe to save money). Gerrard didn't care about Prime's SC2 team but paid his full attention on his LoL team. More ironically, even his LoL team cannot have five enough good computers to practice LoL, so Gerrard took iG (invictus Gaming, the Chinese pro team)'s two computers for practicing and never returned them. What's more, Gerrard took ByuN's top-class personal computer (which values about $1,200) to team house, not only never returned it, but sold it for money. It is sad to see both Gerrard and Prime as SC2 veteran come to such an shameful end. | ||

The difference is that MKP was cleared from the accusation for what looks like an obvious throw by KeSPA because nothing was found behind it, while YoDa made more subtle mistakes but wasn't cleared because everything behind it was uncovered. | ||

They just got a tip about other matchfixing games, which they were able to prove from money transfers. Those Pinnacle games weren't nonsense, they were fixed as well. | ||

Sure YoDa was overly passive, retreated when he could have pushed forward, and had some shoddy micro at some points, but for me all of this is so YoDa it doesn't really surprise me  . It's probably a game he should have won though, sure. | ||

That's why the game clock was removed. If the fix was for over 15mins, for example, YoDa could have tried to stretch the game out indefinitely and then try to win at the end (which he didn't do). | ||

I thought about the under/over 15 min thing, yes. I still wonder about that "fixing goal" though. Both over and under 15 minutes seem really easy to do to me without even impacting your chances of victory that much .I guess people really need something to bet on. | ||

He wasn't cleared from anything. They just didn't find the evidence. Being cleared in my opinion, means assessing the evidence and coming to the conclusion that X wasn't guilty. | ||

I feel like he did a pretty good job of making it look like sloppy play, but he definitely had a pretty solid lead. | ||
