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 |

Wow, I can't believe it. Going to prison and having a criminal record likely all for a few thousand bucks. What is wrong with people these days?

I know this is a stupid thing to say but the whole situation is so obnoxious. bye 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"? :-S 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 " 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... 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. What are you talking about? Matchfixing is destroying the scene for everyone. It's the worst thing you can do as a pro player. "pro" ? lol. the label "pro" has some connotation about being very well paid. and that just ain't true. if 'the scene' were making these guys well paid for making the top 100 i'd have some anger for their match-fixing ways. 'the scene' pays them very little. and then 'the scene' trashes them. remember Tasteless earning his nickname with the joke about homeless people wandering into the studio to get the free pizza? if people paid $600/ticket per GSL night of competition then i'd have some anger for this. likewise If I had to pay UFC style pay-per-view money each month to see the best players do their thing.. again i'd have some anger for this. As it is.. .everyone is spending no money; surprise surprise when some of these guys look for a payday. Nice attitude. So basically, if your chosen profession is not very profitable it's okay to take criminal advantage of your position? You don't even see how this affects other players and teams, especially their sponsor based funding. Its such a self-contradictory position you present.
how much of this funding actually ends up being paid to the player? what do you think is the median net worth of the players ranked 90th to 110th? it looks to me like its "not much".
there is no contradiction. its naked greed. and it happens in competitive sports that pay far more than SC2. However, the lack of cash paid to SC2 players makes them even more vulnerable.
if my prime earning years were as few in # as theirs and i were getting paid what they were getting paid i'd be tempted to matchfix... and 95% of the people who claim they would not be tempted is just lying to themselves.

The point is the location of prosecutor's office: Changwon office
All korean e-sports matches are played in Seoul because influence of Seoul as capital is absolute like Paris. But Life is interrogated in Changwon, not Seoul.
Changwon is quite far from Seoul. It is far more than 400km(=250 miles), But Changwon is quitecclose from Life's hometown.
But most interesting thing is Changwon prosecutor's office is specialized in investigating Match Fixing. Most Sports(soccer,baseball,basketball,volleyball,starcraft...... )Match-fixing investigation have done in Changwon
That's why korean fans are suspecting Life's Match-fixing Thanks a lot for this information, very interesting to know! =) Lets hope its wrong though

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. I don't know why people put so much faith in what Rekrul says Well what about Olimo? She's deeply invested in the scene and my impression was that she was totally aboard the Rekrul train. She seemed very disappoited that the investigation stopped where it did. And I remember a couple of foreigners saying that when they were in Korea, match fixing was an open secret. Maybe they were just looking for attention. Olimo + Rekrul seems hard to shake.
LOL OLIMO
First name Olimo, last name Ley.

Well what proof could she possibly have? I know for a fact that my friend went to play tennis yesterday, but I don't have any proof that would stand up in court. If she has heard a lot of players talk about it in the open I can imagine her frustration finally leading to an "outburst" When the SC2 scandal broke, and then she realizes that what she has probably isn't worth anything and despite the scandal, very little/nothing is going to change. I'm not saying this is the only possible interpretation of events, but it seems very plausible to me.
