That's the most shameful thing in the world." This is fascinating, that he believe this, and from my point of view, it seems laughable that something so tiny and insignificant can feel like the most shameful thing in the world for another. This is witness to that I am really making up all my sorrows, even the ones that seems to be justified by everyone around me. | ||

MC is a progamer. progaming is his world and his career. he is not saying "matchfixing is worse than rape and murder" but that in the world he lives in, for a progamer, with the friends and family he has made through progaming, pertaining to that context it's the worst shame you're being too literal in your interpretation | ||

Also I feel like Yoda did it once because he was in a situation where he had to or retire, then he got carried along because they blackmailed him. Pretty sure Yoda regrets it, not excusing him from this but they should take this into account and be a bit more Lenient. That said everything he's said is pretty much on point. | ||

That said everything he's said is pretty much on point. i'm the first person to normally agree that anyone who makes a living/makes money playing computer games is very fortunate, but there are pro sport athletes who made far more YEARLY than MC has in his career and still ended up broke shortly after retiring. $500,000 sounds like infinite money to me, but the way you use money changes when you get a lot of it all at once. you really can't say that "he's never been cashless" just because you know he has a lot of winnings | ||

I do hope Yoda and the others indicted can learn from it and move on to live a good life away from competitive esports but anyone who can be tempted by money to throw matches needs a lifetime ban | ||

But of course it's not like Yoda won only pennies in SC2. I wonder if it coulnd't be kind of the other way around - Yoda was falsely accused, was frustrated and only after that he gave in and agreed to fix matches. | ||

That felt a bit awkward to me as well. It's easier to say that when you've yourself earned a lot of money from winning than if you are on the B-team and not that successful in individual leagues. Still sad to see such trust being betrayed...  | ||

On a general note, once people start deceiving and telling lies it's very difficult for them to stop. Lance Armstrong is a prime example. | ||
