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 |

That's why we're here though :p
Wolf's comment is important though. There have no doubt been other cases of investigation where the players were cleared, but did not become public. This one did, apparently because an explanation was needed for SPL.
But being detained, boy, it does not look good at all. I'm not familiar with Korean low but this usually means there is significant evidence on the table.

It would be so hilarious if they were questioning him about his match vs Lilbow though.
I am still hopeful. I do not think that Life would throw a match. What match would that have even been, had he done so? It just doesn't add up.

Maybe they were just looking for attention. Olimo + Rekrul seems hard to shake. LOL OLIMO First name Olimo, last name Ley. I seriously considered blaming my phone's auto correct, but full disclosure, I mostly know Olimoley through Olimoleague and I just subtracted the League. Sry Olivia. 
No worries! Just poking fun, it doesn't actually offend me.

Anyone knows how long you can be in custody before having legal charges made public in Korea?
In france it's 24hours in most case, then the prosecutor has to wether free you or lead you to a court that will will decide what happens next for you.
A prosecutor has to get a detention warrant within 48 hours, but after that the police has 10 days and the prosecutor has 10 days (with possible 10 day extension) before having to file an indictment. I am not a lawyer, but that's how I understood it.

OlimoLey would be a great name for a law firm in a Spanish speaking country though.

I think its safe to assume many players have been called to the office recently, and obviously not found guilty for now (probably called mostly to help with investigations), its not absurd, if you won a match-fixed match, played in a team that match fixed, was contacted by brokers... you got the idea, many people is involved even if they have their hands clean.
Maybe "some shady guys" called Life and tried to make a deal? Only natural if he is under investigation afterwards, and i would be surprised if he was never contacted to lose a game. Meh... i would never suspect him.
edit: warrant eh? goddamit...

it's really weird since he's prolly the most successful sc2 player history so it;s hard to believe (of course it's not yet confirmed)

Life, Liberty and never ending speedlings!

The only problem with this logic is that saviOr was in a very similiar position in BW - in his time he was surely the greatest zerg to date. I am only now getting a remote idea how much of a shock that revelation must have been for BW fans back then, because it just does not make sense, for exactly the same reasons why Life matchfixing wouldn't. But I still believe this is just a regular police work randomly blown out of proportions for some procedural reasons.
edit: btw. my wife's reaction to the fixing accusation was golden: "...and Life ever lost something?!"

From the stunned disbelief to the Rekrul bashing, this is eerily similar to the original BW thread

Maybe they were just looking for attention. Olimo + Rekrul seems hard to shake. Remember that she just threw some random name and trotted excuses out when people demanded proof. Oh, did I say that an innocent streamer was screwed up because of this? 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. Conclusions/Assertions only work when premises/proofs are sufficient. Plus, the onus of proof is on her, because it was her who claimed the issue. Otherwise, it is nothing but a conspiracy.
Onus of proof? This is neither a court of law nor a thesis, if Olimoley - or anyone - knows about possible wrongdoing I would HOPE that they do whatever they can about it.
Anyway at this point we're talking about the entire scene, not individuals. You can't slander a scene.

In general case, prosecutor give suspect a phone call or mail or whatever and says "you are now suspected of certain crime. Come to prosecutors office" This procedure does not need warrant
This is an ordinary situation in investigating serious crimes.
But this case is different. Life is arrested 'by prosecutor' with 'warrant'.
This means prosecutor must have a proof because warrant is not allowed by judge without obvious proof

I didn't realize destroying so many people in Starcraft 2 was a crime. The crime lab will have plenty of evidence of this. GG.

Uhm i didn't follow bw that time but i've read from some article here i can't remember which one stating that he was losing his form like before he was caught matchfixing. Like he was not the best anymore, maybe still good but not good enough.
There's also JD in bw too who's probably bigger than him, so yeah it's the same in a sense but a bit different cause life may literally be the best zerg of sc2 ever.

Life vs Sjow @Dreamhack was one of the biggest upsets i had ever seen in SC2, i really hope its not that thats got him into trouble

I am just hoping for the best. Life would be one of the last people i would accuse of matchfixing, it really doesn´t suit him.
