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

I hope there's nothing wrong with him. Would be terribly heartbreaking more than anything else.

Just an investigation, maybe he is a witness.


Maybe.. They're saying he was actually arrested though, not just questioned. Seems a little more serious.




I can't take this.


Hoping we get more info quickly. I tend to agree with what you said though, Life is making loads of cash, he didn't have any need to fix like Prime did, so hopefully it's just some strange betting lines or something


savior had no need either..


Yeah.. just gotta hope for the best I guess. Would be a killer blow to SC2 in Korea if Life pulled a sAviOr.

So who will write the ESPN article about this?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

If it turns out that he matchfixed, it makes matters even worse for e-sports then Prime did

What is better then alot of cash? Even more cash!

Missing cash might be a strong factor in commiting such a crime, but having cash does not prevent it from happening. Even if you "dont have any need to fix", fixing is always an option to find more money. This is nothing which makes it more unlikely or likely that he fixed games/was involved in it. We will see what KESPA and the local law enforcment will tell us about this, but all this "he has the money, he doesnt need/wouldnt fix for money!" is straight out not right. When you want more money, you use your options to aquire more money.

So he is actually in a jail or the word "arrested" has another meaning?

maybe an explanation for his mediocre performance in the last proleague? what if he was paid to lose certain matches where betting against him was profitable.

just speculation of course, I hope he is innocent and we hear from him personally soon.

Changwon district prosecutors' office (which investigated Prime back then) and KeSPA.

Honestly if i'm allowed to be politically incorrect here...

Why are you guys so surprised? With the state that sc2 sponsorship is in korea, you'd have to be at least consistently getting high into tournament brackets just to make a decent salary...

Not surprised with the high rate of match fix and shady things going on in the scene.

yeah this so much. I can never believe how people think being rich prevents you from doing evil deeds. If anything it makes you more prone for doing it because poor people dont know what it means to have money anyway. rich people know the feeling and want to keep the power

I don't know if the Korean scene can survive this if he is charged.

Very worrying.
