EPTNever liked Life but I would never have thought he would do matchfixing. Its probably something else, the trade between Afreeca and Kt is a bit fishy though. Why did he want to go so sudden and why did KT let him go? Maybe KT had noticed something.
Life arrested/taken into custody and under investigation -…
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
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 | ||

Can someone with a good grasp on the situation give a decent summary of what's going on here? Facts only please, if speculation please call it as such. | ||

Because that's absolutely ridiculous - and also quite off topic. Unfortunately, that's not how people work. Your view of the thing is rational, but the reactions to such a scandal wouldn't be. Every time there's a school shooting in Germany, what people talk about is video games - mostly shooters like Call of Duty - if the culprit played them regularly. What people don't talk about is the kid's social life, upbringing etc. | ||

And considering winning rate of prosecutors in korean court, Life is guilty more than 98% As he's arrested by prosecutor it obviously means that his arrest is part of some running case, right? I mean it's kind of common sense that it could be about match fixing, but it's not known, no official statement was made yet. I wish people could stay away from assumptions, they damage truth and honesty in public opinion far too much nowadays... | ||

That seems comically high. | ||

Why did he want to go so sudden and why did KT let him go? Maybe KT had noticed something. Or maybe he had good reason to leave KT since it was his will? Like running away from something. It's night in Korea, any chance of getting any official word anytime soon? | ||

He wasn't mentioned in the pinnacle bets, so that would mean he would be part of some other unrelated organisation... It's not impossible but I'd be surprised. Some pages back somebody quoted examples of matches that were voided by Pinnacle that Life was involved in. | ||

I like how many people refrain from judging Life before we get more information. Just wish more people had done so when it was MarineKing... *sigh* | ||
