YoDa, B4, Gerrard arrested for match-fixing - Page 63
| 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. | ||

Thought the Starcraft players in the scene would have learned from the first time. Sad day for Starcraft. | ||

 , Match fixing might have been the only way to keep Prime afloat. Unfortunate for Yoda and Gerrard. RIP Prime... | ||

Poor Lorning Edit: Watching the VOD's just made me realize something. B4 threw his game the night of Creator's greatest moment | ||

We basically confirmed his retirement based on hearsay when other players in the Korean scene assumed he had retired. Holy Batman on a nuclear powered pogo stick! I have not realized how long it was!

They have a new expansion right around the corner, and word of matchfixing surely cannot be good for marketing. It's also not really their territory. I wonder how much this might hurt them. I don't suspect it will be that bad, but still, matchfixing in the two most competitive leagues for the game? Some of what she said was already corroborated by other tournament organizers and matches up with what happened here: mysterious sponsors who are actually gamblers using 'sponsorship' as a way to get close to teams/players. In her accusation these 'sponsors' would suggest players to invite to the online cups, presumably because they had influence over what they were going to do. Here you had the gamblers after getting in via sponsorship going directly to players or using their brokers. The part about 'sponsors' stream cheating doesn't apply to this case of course, but does show you how creative these guys can get. | ||

I cannot remember who said that, but someone pointed out that HyuN won in their league so many times they are searching for someone who is able to defeat HyuN :-)
