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

Bye? Rekrul basically confirmed this to be the case months ago.

I've just been happy to bury my head in the sand since the PRIME scandal, and just hope it would all magically go away if we stopped talking about it.

Am I missing a joke or something? How is it acceptable to say "half of these fuckers are probably matchfixing"?

how not? if that's his genuine opinion, can't he post it? he may have stated it a bit crudely, but there is reason for fans to worry. he didn't accuse anyone, he said "probably "

Is it really necessary to keep him locked up though? I mean, he's not a danger to other people nor a mafioso i assume. They must have some very solid evidence to do this.

A modicum of respect is usually expected.

Calling the entire Korean scene fuckers and implying rampant matchfixing ("probably" or not doesn't change much at this point) is not that...

is it confirmed by korean speakers that he is under arrest and being kept in holding? i didn't fully understand the debate about "brought in/questioned/under arrest". do we know for sure he's sleeping in jail?

It's not a joke. Rekrul said that match fixing is rampant in SC2, more than it ever was in BW. Two dudes and their coach is not rampant.

I agree that the post was insensitive, but... eh...

Whatever, I'm still hoping for the best, somehow.

probably changes a lot because it's a reference to the fact that he's speculating and posting personal feelings. if i post "half the fuckers in Washington are probably corrupt" would you find that disrespectful? because there's reason to believe that too

you have a point that he was a bit disrespectful, but if he's angry about corruption in a scene he follows i think you can easily forgive some disrespect. but we aren't mods, so there isn't much left to say on this outside of the feedback forum

That's what i understand from the OP, especially from the spoiler comment.

Dude, I'm well aware of what Rekrul said. Look up the Pinnacle threads and you'd find I was very active in them while expressing my scepticism about the Korean scene. I just don't think what Tiaraju9 said was appropriate

I wanted to make a joke along those lines but I think that the situation is possibly too serious to be made light of.

So far though nothing official, so I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Man this would be so bad. The Prime match fixing thing sucked, but it was Prime. They were broke and it was at least semi-understandable (even though it's still not forgivable) but Life? Dude has won GSLs and Blizzcon wtf

the reason i could never call a proven Sc2 matchfixer a negative label is how little money they make.

i can't blame some of these guys for looking for a big payoff because even if they're between the 20th and 100th best player on the planet they are not getting paid much.

Hope it's just an interrogation, and not any accusations. It might just be a poor way of saying that the investigators want to hear what life knows about the issue.
