Life arrested/taken into custody and under investigation

We know this is a crazy and sensitive issue, especially since Life is the most high profile player to be caught up in an "investigation". But please stay calm and refrain from slandering players until we have more information. Egregious posts will be dealt with accordingly.

PLEASE READ THE OP BEFORE POSTING

mod edit: There's far too many misinformation being spread around right now so here are the facts:

1. Life has been arrested.
2. NO ONE knows why.
3. Until an official news source from either KeSPA or a related party comes out, any other type of information presented is not to be trusted.

If you don't even bother to read the OP and decide to post inaccurate information within this thread, the mods will take action. Please be smart about how and what you post in this thread.

Says in the source that Life is being investigated on match fixing charges. However, since they are still in the process of investigating, they cannot release all the info yet.



http://sports.news.naver.com/esports/news/read.nhn?oid=311&aid=0000571956

Kespa announced that Life was arrested by the same district prosecutors' office (Changwon) that Prime guys were, and he's under an investigation, but is unknown what cases he's involved. However, Kespa's reacting to this because if this is match-fixing related, this could be another disaster for the e-sport scene.

Hence, Kespa will prevent him from playing any official games that he was going to until he's acquitted by cooperating with the league organizers.

They will cooperate with the prosecutions whenever needed, and keep their zero tolerance policy toward illegal match fixing/ gambling cases.

The trade between Afreeca and kt was done by Life's own request. Neither KT and Afeeca were aware of the present situation around Life prior to the trade. Also they mentioned that they wish there won't be any spreading of unconfirmed information or inappropriate assumption, so no innocent unrelated victim is made.

Update: It's official that it's related to the last year's match fixing scandal.

Is this why he didn't play today?
If so, then why did Artosis mention he'd play next Friday?

:/ Explains the delay in his Code A and not being fielded for SPL.

If this comes to anything it would really be another sAviOr, but surely it's nothing..

That trade is looking better and better for KT regardless.

What the actual fuck, this can't be happening???

I won't believe it, I'm sure he is innocent.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Pretty crazy. Maybe he's just there to testify against the match fixers?
edit: well in that case he wouldn't be arrested I guess.

Yeah seriously, might just be called in for questioning? Maybe as a witness?

The trade between Afreeca and kt was done by Life's own request, and they confirmed that neither of KT and Afeeca were aware of this.


I don't get it, he traded himself and the teams didn't know ?

That's what I was thinking at first, but I dunno how he'd be related to it since it seemed to be a Prime thing.

The proposal came from Life and neither of the teams was aware of any incidents that could have lead to an arrest

Oh, yeah, that's more logical.
