Kespa: "OK! Great news." Kespa: "Yoda, Gerrard, and ByoongByoong banned for matchfixing" Afreeca: "We don't care about matchfixers streaming, punishment is not our problem" Kespa: "No Kespa players in GSL." Afreeca: "Our bad, matchfixers banned, all's good now, right?" | ||

Afreeca: "Our bad, matchfixers banned, all's good now, right?" I think they reversed their decision because the fans pressure (all esports fans and media) in South Korea, GSL is not that important for Afrecca because it is SC2 what we are talking about, not LoL, or even BW. Kespa move was very bad, how could you make a public request before contacting the other company. | ||

It's just good business sense, even if I disagree. | ||

1. There were too many cuss words going around and I didn't want any flame wars starting 2. I felt a logical approach would have been better. I guess I left out all the parts where many Starcraft was basically a national game until 2010, and people who dropped out of the fandom still have a reflexive repulse to matchfixing, which has shook their fond memories. Ex) They changed back to normal now, but half my Katalk friend's status changed into cuss words after Afreeca's refusal news, and people sent me texts about if SC2 will close down now. Choya was so overflooded with texts that he had to quit streaming and went to get drunk. | ||

Punishment for match fixing has too be strict, draconian even. Every player has to understand the risk associated with match fixing; their entire skill set *has* to be rendered completely useless, they shouldn't have any possibility of earning anything playing the game anymore once they go corrupt. This is basically the only real consequence of doing it (actual, long jail time is highly unlikely). The punishment has to be so ridiculously stupid and over the top that nobody will dare to dabble in match fixing anymore. | ||

as an aside, I personally believe you after you've broken the rules like they did, you should have no place in the community whatsoever and should not be able to anything with the game. PERIOD. | ||

In this case, however, it is, due to KeSPA having the strength and connections it does. It's not the (criminal) act of illegal betting we care about, it's the impact this behaviour has on our gaming scene, it's very integrity. What's punishable by law should be punished within the scope of law, but it does not mean we can't go the extra mile to further protect what we hold dear (believe it or not, impacting the Starcraft scene in a negative fashion is not a criminal offence!). We don't break their legs and dump them in the ocean. I consider this ban nothing more than a healthy precaution (much like keeping convicted pedophiles away from children; it's just reasonable) | ||
