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.

While I find it admirable trying to do the best for your team, I'm disgusted at the match fixing due to his own gambling problems and also for dragging his own players through the mud. Still very sad state of affair that he even felt forced into this in the first place. Goodbye PRIME, pity it had to end like this.

I guess now I'll remember this as dark October...

MBC also became a purely music-based entity around that time, not sure if it had to do with KPop's popularity, or BW's MFS.

I wonder when people will talk about the reasons of this. Yes people are greedy, but players on korean teams are exploited as well. As long as this doesn't change...


while this is certainly true it isn't really the case here. Yoda earned more than 100k $ through sc2 on prize money alone.

Well sure, but what about B4? As i said, ofc there are greedy people too, but the problem comes from how the korean scene operates. I don't see it changing though...

They just don't have evidence for those types (yet).

I watched a few of YoDa's VODs posted in the OP. None of them looks particularly suspicious.


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.

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.


He wasn't cleared from anything. They just didn't find the evidence, which is exactly what I wrote. You should reread Kespa's actual statement.


Convicted until clear. What a noble sense of justice from our lovely TL warrior.


The thing about "innocent until proven guilty" that people like you misunderstand is that it only matters when it comes to law enforcement. You don't put people into jail until they have been convinced in court. But we can still talk about OJ Simpson being guilty on the other hand because that's obviously true.

What one should do is to estimate the probaiblity of (A) MKP not seeing the creep on the minimap despite starting at the minimap and (B) Pinnacleodds voiding a bet that wasn't matchfixed.

Then you should multiply the them together.

I estimate the odds of A being 1 to a million. The odds of B is 1%.

Hence the probabiliy of MKP not matchfixing is 1:100,000,000.

So I continue to talk as if MKP did matchfix untill you can provide enough reasoning to explain why my odds are off.

I estimate the odds of MKP being drunk or on drugs or stressed out or something, to be far greater than 1 to a million. This event will be called C. Then the probability of A, knowing C, is like 1 to 2. 1/2*P(C) + P(not(C))*P(A|not(C)) makes it not so unlikely that MKP wasn't match-fixing. Here's why your odds are offs.
For B odds, if you can't find stats that would help estimating the amount of false positives, your odds are an "eye test" so hardly conclusive.


MKP had a GSL match around season 5-6 where he right clicked his army to move to the back door pocket expansion along with his dropship...he didn't notice the army moved in the front door on move command and got killed...

Just saying...however that could be attributed to focusing on micro on his drop, but it isn't that unlike this situation. His army walked a long way and he didn't realize it until they started getting attacked.

Props to all the progamers going through rough times with no results, was offered matchfixing money and turned it down hard.

I'm curious about the recent ex-STX coach's plans for PRIME. He sounded like he planned to reboot the team for 2016 Proleague when he started sponsoring the team. I hope that's not dead and gone.

It said "Hero. @SaintSnorlax" with a link to one of the threads about the matchfixing thing.

Kespa should force teams to actually pay their players, THAT would do far more than banning people after they already commited the crime.

Maybe he can head the new rumored NK Allstars team. I'm sure they're going to need a strong coach if they want to stand a chance.

QFT.

As long as nothing is changed about the Kespa players living situation its only a matter of time before matchfixing happens again.

This is really it. A rule that requires teams to publish their financials (or submit to audits) to the league and a base minimum salary or equivalent would probably go a long way to disbanding these teams long before things can get this bad. Kespa seems to have control of almost all the relevant sc2 events now anyways, they might as well use that for some good.

But Yoda wasn't a no-salaried B-teamer. Unless word gets out that Gerrard confiscated all of Yoda's winnings, Yoda is proof that some people will always just want more. If I'm KeSPA looking at this situation, and my options are to shell out lots of cash and not solve the problem, or not shell out lots of cash and not solve the problem, I'm gonna go with the one that doesn't cost me money.

All the broadcasts toward the end of MBCGame hinted at MFS being the start of the end for MBCGame

Also, for the clarity's sakes (or.... whatever you call this one), Enough (former progamer from KTF who retired in 2003) was one of the brokers.
