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 | ||

So? High-level players have matchfixed before. The voided Pinnacle bets even suggested a couple of other high-level players matchfixed. When the information was released, I was surprised B4 and Yoda were paid so much to throw games, I imagine someone like Life would have been paid waaaaaaaay more. | ||

It's not prove, but still relevant. It makes you question his motives. Worst case scenario it's just greed, a base motive. But often that's just not the case. Most human beings have a reason for doing bad stuff. When the Prime case was made public, nobody was surprised, because everybody could guess the reason.

According to the thread on TL back then (with official investigation report etc.) the Prime guys were arrested. Though it's different in that they told us immediately why and released a report. | ||

Hmm, it seems you're making the same mistake you accuse others of now. Things like this are actually more prevalent when people lack/ need money. | ||
