I guess in the end it turned out to be a good thing that so many other Prime players ended up leaving or retiring, hopefully they escaped being caught up in this sad, sordid affair. | ||

Whatever has to be done, it has to be. It's good that the authorities and the procecution did their job, let's hope those matches won't turn into a practice. | ||

You're not alone. It sows mistrust, allegations, and conflict. Hearing about the Savior scandal made me feel physically ill. Arresting and prosecuting the guilty parties doesn't even feel particularly gratifying because you don't know how many more are out there who just haven't been caught. It's an awful miasma that seeps through every future competition. It would have been naive to think that the BW arrests put an end to matchfixing brokers, just like it's naive to think that YoDa and Gerrard and their 9+ cohorts acted alone or that more won't get the same idea to approach pro players and coaches. It takes years for viewers and fans to trust the competitive community again, and that trust will never quite get back to its original level. We always moderate heavily when it comes to matchfixing allegations because false incrimination can be life-ruining, but we have to know (and I think we all do already) that there will always be a shadowy side to any competitive sport or eSport. Even if it's not actively happening, there are always people hiding in the darkness trying to make it happen, and that's the truly repulsive thing. | ||

That was in a way the beginning of the end of BW. | ||

Yeah well, he made a mistake even though his heart was in the right place. Going out and publicly defending people and saying its 100% not true without having any evidence other than the person in question begging you? He was probably asked to resign because of what he had said. Had he supported Savior but not publicly said anything until after the investigation had broke, maybe the outcome would have been different. | ||
