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

Also sc2 cant take a blow of this size.

Now that I think of it, I think MarineKing is innocent of matchfixing, because if he was, I think the police would have been all over his ass.

Just before the match started the odds for map 1 changed a lot. Someone put a lot of money on RagnaroK on map 1 and Pinnacle obviously belive map 1 was rigged.

Pisses me off because i bet on Super for match and all maps.

I think Super had suspicious betting pattens on one of his matches before.

Super vs INnoVation had a cancelled bet, albeit on a map Super won.

Also I just found this one:

I did not watch the match tho, so I am not sure why. Anyone?

Yeah that's even worse though.

You'll actually get YEARS in jail in SK for doing drugs other than tobacco/alcohol.

Though it wouldn't hurt SC2 scene.

I am personally hoping for some Life's personal shit too. And something crazy - like driving some expensive car(Ferrari etc.) and crashing into something. Or driving without license and not cooperating with Police or something.

Also I hope this ends well. Life finds a way

I hope he's not involved. But all of those 'illegal betting scandals' are just a testament to what happens when someone gets too invested in something that hardly brings any money.

saying it makes no sense for a successful player to fix is the exact same thing as "why would [attractive celebrity] have to rape someone? women love him!" fyi


Different case imo, this is all about money, Life isn't even remotely short of money, he made $117k from prize money alone in 2015, and I could imagine him on a huge contract at KT.


Savior earned a lot of more money than life, but he was greedy, being large of money doesnt relate to be inoccent or guilty of matchfixing in SC world.


Absolutely incorrect. 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.


I didn't say only for boredom, but we did get figures of what they were paid to throw matches, and it's shit. Nothing compared to what you'd make by going far in a StarLeague let alone their salary...

Please teach me more about a scene I've been following for over 10 years.


I am out of this argument with you, it is not relevant for me anymore, and fyi I have been following, playing, and.. RTS since 1999, do your math guy. hf cya gl

If someone would actually be sentenced to prison for just taking drugs, it won't shed bad light on esport, but on the legal system of the country in question. Because that's absolutely ridiculous - and also quite off topic.

you may be logically right, but you are socially wrong. moral panic, especially relating to kids, modern hobbies and drugs, is extremely potent and such a thing could absolutely cause hostility toward esports. people aren't thinking about causality when they freak out about their kids being "corrupted"

As korean I explain serious point for you guys (forgive my awkward engilish sentences)

He's arrested by prosecutor, not by police
This means Life can be involved in serious crime, not misdemeanor.
And considering winning rate of prosecutors in korean court, Life is guilty more than 98%
