I don't see how this punishment is unreasonable at all. They are banned from making money from the game they abused and ruined. They are free to play the game whenever they want and move on to whatever they want with their lives. Some people are making it seem like these matchfixers's right are violated. That's ridiculous. | ||

For us westerners, eSport might be all candy and marshmallows and stuff - that's quite the different story in Korea. Especially considering what hit they took when it happened the last time. | ||

In my opinion, all this hubbub over streaming is just a silly distraction from the REAL issues at stake - matchfixing in official matches. I am far more concerned over whether investigation of past games continues, and if additional safeguards are being put in place to deter/prevent additional matchfixing, than over whether the disgraced players get a couple balloons from misguided fans. | ||

If AfreecaTV simply didn't say anything, then they wouldn't have had this much negative attention and backlash and wouldn't be forced to ban matchfixers. If a reporter or KeSPA eventually asks them whether they will do something about the matchfixers, AfreecaTV could've simply used the standard business tactic that Blizzard always uses, which is to imply some sort of vague postponement on a decision with a statement like "We thank you for sharing your concerns, as it is an important issue to us, and we are currently discussing with the AfreecaTV(TM) staff and will make the most fair decision in the upcoming future." Then the masses will forget about it soon after, and AfreecaTV could continue postponing that decision whenever a reporter asks them about it. | ||

Afreeca is THE streaming platform in Korea and it is where the past culprits have been streaming and making money. They were already under fire in the past about this. The moment Kespa made the announcement, it was all about whether or not Afreeca will comply and everyone's attention was on them. They would have faced backlash even if Kespa didn't make the announcement. Them reacting prematurely just shot them in the foot. | ||
