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

It's weekend. Wait to (at least) monday probably.



Like what? Police says "ok it's the week end, we're going home, see you monday and don't feel too alone in your cell!"?

seems wierd to me, an investigation can't stay on stand by like this, can it?


that is exactly how it works much of the time. Or actually, it's the prosecutor who does that.


so arresting him on a friday evening was kind of a bitch move...

Seunghyun is his first name, right? Not his surname.

Edit: I want to underline that first off we have little to no reason to suspect Life at all. Secondly, the only reason we know about this at all is that an excuse was needed for SPL, meaning that this could actually be a regular occurrence (progamers going into custody for questioning) without us knowing about it. This could just not be a very big deal; imagine if indeed Life were being questioned because his match was fixed but he didn't know about it. Or perhaps he did, but didn't want to say anything as that might damage the scene.

So many difference kinds of possible situations that I don't think any conclusions should be drawn before any official statements.


While we all want some explanation and I really hope nothing comes out of this, this has been reported in a Korean newspaper, it's not just "KeSPA's excuse for SPL".

Well, what are the newspapers source? I mean if Kespa went out and made it public of course it will be reported in other places like newspapers aswell. The migh just use kespa as source, unless you know that is not the case its still possible its "kespas excuse" ignited a chain reaction that lead to all this.

Look at kotaku, they reported on this and they refer to teamliquid, their newssite probably doesn't have their own sources just copying the news from somewhere else. (not saying thats bad, its not)


Can people stop with the "oh it's probably some mistranslation thing and he's probably just there to answer a few questions or some shit." You don't get straight up arrested, held for more than a single day, and taken to a place that solely investigates match-fixing if the allegations are a farce and completely unfounded. I'm not saying he's guilty but let's have some overall perspective that he's in a pretty fucking serious situation instead of trying our hardest to make it seem like no big deal.

What are the evidences that he is held in a place solely investigating match-fixing except a poster with 10 posts?


Again if you haven't even read the article you might not want to comment.

The article is in Korean and pretty sure yesterday the OP didn't talk about Changwon and stuff.


There is no edit on the post, so yes he did. And even simple google translate is enough to pick up on what is being reiterated in this thread by multiple native Korean speakers.

So he is indeed possibly in deep troubles and people are defending him like madmen, nice double standards (compared to MK)

Don't generalize. Most people are just expressing their worries.

I see from that comment that you didn't experience what staying in a cell from 3 days is like, and that make me happy for you.

Or just wait and arrest him on Monday? But then again he is a citizen just like everyone else. Lets hope the best for the scene.

Friday arrests are often done to artificially extend the allowable time the detainee can be put in jail. Say, you can only keep him for 36 hrs unless you file a case. But your case isn't ready yet/you're still gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. Then you make the arrest on a Friday afternoon. That way, you add basically 2 full days to that 36 hr limit.

I'm not sure what your logic is. Do you actually think there's any difference?

Followings are what canata said in his streaming today

1. I don't want to swear now. I already used so many swear words yesterday.

2. Yesterday, we(SPL commentators) talk about this incident for a long time. We got so angry

3. Please don't chat the word dog. It irritates me (% Dog is one of the famous nickname of life in korea becuase of his zergling play)

4. I guess his charge is match-fixing, but I hope my expectation is wrong
