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.

Okay, trying to imagine what can be happening is just too painful, I'll just pretend I have not seen this post until we have more insight about what he was arrested for...

Oh ffs not more of this. Especially not for Life. If he's implicated this could be Savior-tier.

Only January and 2016 has been pure shit sc2-wise ;;

He's arrested as they said "협회는 오늘 오후 프로게이머 이승현의 체포 사실을 확인하고 이에 대해 아래와 같이 입장을 발표합니다." which saying they confirmed his arrestment.

I'm changing this title to relay the investigation aspect for now


No. the article says that he is 'arrested'.

Which means, arrest warrant was issued.

I mean, that YoDa or B4 fixed matches, I get it, they were barely paid and their coach was screwing them. But if Life, the best player of all time and probably one of the 5 most paid players, really fixed some matches, it would be the dumbest thing I'd ever dare considering.

I really hope it turns out right, else it would be a brutal shockwave.

I hope none of it is related to match fixing. This would be a massive blow to the scene

This literally makes no sense, Life makes money by winning shit, no by throwing it. What the fuck?

And please don't come with his proleague performance now. That's bo1, you can lose there.

Edit: Plus his KT salary. Now Afreeca Salary. Redbull sponsorship before that. He never suffered.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Even if he hasn't done anything and is not guilty at all, this is already really bad PR and probably heavily damages his reputation for a long time.

Life, you have been the chosen one! You had to bring balance back to the game, not destroying it!

Wow. Has there been any match with the suspicious betting patterns where Life was involved? I didn't think so. I hope it's something less serious than him actually actively taking part at least, would be a huge hit for sc2 and me personally as a fan of this guy... It seems possible that some of the people that decided to get out of prime had some knowledge of the match fixing attempts and wanted to get out because of it, maybe it's related to that...


Out of everyone, he is probably the least likely korean to match fix.

I hope this is what's going on.



Just an investigation, maybe he is a witness.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
