EPTLife's too short to be spending time in prison. Not gonna be able to come out in time for Half Life 3.
My Life for ire.
Life arrested/taken into custody and under investigation -…
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
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 | ||

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. Don't know why you are directing this at me, I agree with you. This is a serious situation. But how about not spreading lies or made up information that makes it sound more serious than it is? We know that Life has been arrested and is being held atm. That is ALL we know, we can theorize that the place he is held at means that its because of matchfixing but none of us know exactly how the police department in Changwon works. Apparently its close to his home, maybe he was at home when he was arrested for a whole different crime and is being held there due to proximity. Thats how many police departments work after all, if the crime is made in their jurisdiction they arrest and hold the criminal. I believe this is serious and I do believe it is about matchfixing but don't confuse what you THINK with what you KNOW. Everything we know about this comes from kespa and it is very little they have said, if you have a different source then please share it. Otherwise hold your tongue and stop spreading false information. | ||

Nobody here actually knows what is going on. Yes it is a serious situation, but assuming you just know what it's about is stupid. Being investigated obviously doesn't mean being guilty and we don't even know what the investigation is for... | ||

Whatever it is, I hope that Life is innocent, or at least, it's nothing SCII-related | ||

I think you can appreciate aspects of someone, even if he did things you cannot agree with. You just have to seperate the human and his work imo. | ||

This could explain why it's the police department in Changwon since they're experienced with esport-players. But that's also speculation like almost everything in this thread  | ||

I mean you can appriciate the good work of an awful human being but being a fan is different. | ||

But i am a fan of the work, no? Nobody here knows the players on a real personal level, i simply CANNOT be a fan of the human being because i don't really know the person. But sure if i know he did something inherently wrong i wouldn't call me a fan of the character, but i still can be a fan of his work imo (or do word it differently, appreciate the work). I think i can seperate these things. | ||

It does not look good because of the prefecture involved being known for game fixing investigations. But let's hope that it is not game fixing as that would be catastrophic considering it is Life that is involved. Athletics, Tennis and Cycling have hit the news regarding fixing of various sorts - seems nothing sport related is immune to such malfeasance. | ||
