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 | ||

If houses in my neighborhood were getting burgled every few weeks (as in bets getting voided on Pinnacle), I'd probably consider moving. To be fair there's a pretty good analysis about the recent Tennis controversy about all the reasons fishy betting doesn't mean match fixing is the cause: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-betting-data-alone-cant-identify-match-fixers-in-tennis/ Of course it has a link to the infamous Davydenko match where the betting was so fishy that people did go on the record saying it must have been fixed despite lack of corroborating evidence. So don't get me wrong, I'm just saying it's not as concrete as conventional wisdom around here has been saying. | ||

No one was even suspicious of Life at all last season because of that fact. All I'm saying is in light of today's news, I would not be surprised if it is for SPL games from last season. Again we give life the benefit of the doubt I'm just saying there is some smoke here. | ||

If anything, Life was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, the zero tolerance policy of Kespa is gunna hurt Life no matter what. | ||

So don't get me wrong, I'm just saying it's not as concrete as conventional wisdom around here has been saying. But to keep the comparison going, even if it isn't straight up burglary that's causing things to go missing from these houses, it's still indicative of some other problem that may be less serious, but is still a problem. Moving could be an ok precautionary measure to take if you think the benefits outweigh the costs of moving. At this point, I'm way too invested to leave regardless of the outcome, but I'd prefer to be in a somewhat teeming community as opposed to an empty neighborhood. | ||

If history is anything to go by, how much money a player is making/made has little to do with the likelihood of the player being involved in matchmaking. | ||

Rekrul broke the story that Catz was too busy with a groupie to play against JulyZerg and that's why he was DQ-ed after Catz tried to make it out as MLG having stupid rules lol. Does that count as important news? More pertinently, Rekrul was pretty wrong about the disbanding of TSL but he posted about that too (iirc he seemed to just repeat what the disgruntled players were saying rather than actually knowing what really happened). So he still has contacts with people in SC2, but if they're still meaningful, I don't know. Rekrul is a boss with friends/connections in many facets of eSports. He rarely says shit... but when he does, my advice would be to listen. | ||

Now it is 4:55 AM in Korea, so if you are checking this thread for some news, you need to wait at least 4 hours. | ||

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. savior was really bad when he got arrested and had been mediocre at best for over a year before that | ||
