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 | ||

Why do you think he did that? kt has great coaching, infrastructure etc. Infact kt is just the best team overall and anyone going there can become good (look at spped), but Life is a prodigy, he doesnt do much for months, he slacks off he gets distracted and enjoys his life, and then for a few months a year he puts his back into it, regains his passion and becomes an absolute god He probably wanted his old Life and friends back! | ||

That's what I think, but why do it so suddenly? Also why the fuck did he participate in the PL photoshoot for KT then? edit: agreed with poster above but the same questions apply | ||

For example, if you take a mammography and it comes out positive, are you likely to have breast cancer? Intuitively you might think yes, but actually since the test has false positives and cancer rates are low, it's about as likely that the test gave a false answer than that you have cancer. You would be wise to gather more evidence because of this uncertainty. Similarly, given players have a low chance of being match-fixers. A player getting arrested/questioned increases that chance significantly, but it doesn't somehow magically make the overall low rate disappear or "not count", nor does it remove additional factors that make him unlikely to fix matches. So we really have no good information either way, but factors that reduced probability before continue to reduce probability. | ||

Yup while the first part about kt beeing the greatest wasnt meant too seriously, the second part defenitely is. He seemed to have way more fun in the lax StarTale | ||

It's well known by now that the pros involved in the BW matchfixing scandal weren't paid much for their troubles, certainly not compared to sAviOr's salary and tournament winnings. It's also known that in sAviOr's case in particular, boredom and lack of passion for the game played a big role rather than greed. You are too naive if you think that Savior did something illegal only for boredom, you build things with legos if you are bored, you dont build an illegal ring of matchfixers, and I put only Savior example so dont bring the other guys to the table. | ||

Also if you want to do something bad to get some passion from evil deeds. you can dismantle Lego buildings of others and then throw the lego parts all over the floor so others can step on it! THAT'S EVIL!!!  | ||

And Legend said "We want Life." And Mr. Chae said "You shall get him." And they offered the Leenocktopus in return, and KT Rolster said "Okay." | ||

Coach was pointing at random players and he received them all  Thanks for the laugh, this is good one | ||
