Do not talk about MarineKing even if you are defending him. Just don't do it. Please no match-fixing accusations on MarineKing or any other player if it has not officially been confirmed. This goes for other players too. -The_Templar | ||

Why would anyone in Korea want to be a spectator of SC2 at this point? League is vastly more popular, and doesn't appear to have the - now fairly consistent - history with matchfixing. I mean, are there really people out there who can follow SC2 matches and would rather watch LoL? I believe that SC2 is the best game there is for spectators. | ||

이들은 SKT 프로리그 2015 시즌1 등 e스포츠 '스타크래프트 2' 5경기에서 돈을 주고받으며 승부조작을 벌인 혐의를 받았다. Is this saying he did it in five games? | ||

The fact that they elected not to prosecute him last year, but after waiting several months have now chosen to make this move means they must have found concrete evidence in the interim -- wouldn't be surprising if one of the twelve people indicted last year have turned state's evidence. Sad state of affairs. Did they wait for him to turn a certain age? His birthday was this month. | ||

No way he would do that for a couple of grand or even like 10k. But then again, when you're 19 you might now think logically when it comes to things like that He's a young guy. Peer pressure. I can tell you I didn't always make good decisions at his age. I am still his fan, and if he streams, I will donate. | ||

I guess that's who he was talking about. I'm sort of worried that Life is merely the tip of a larger iceberg. Like, is this the start of the unraveling that Olimoley and others hinted at all those months ago? Have they finally built up cases to go after a lot of the really big fish and Life is just the first of many to come? This honestly has all sorts of terrible ramifications. | ||

I`m wondering if there`s any value left to follow this scene. I don't understand this logic. If you love sc2 and watching high level tournaments, then matchfixing won't suddenly make you not love sc2. Maybe you watch the games with a more open mind. Obviously, if convicted, I've lost respect for Life as a person. But as a player I still think he is one of the greatest and nothing can take that from him. You don't win multiple gsl by throwing matches. | ||

I imagine they'd have pulled in any other now if they were under suspicion too. Sounds like only reason they waited was for Life to reach adulthood. | ||
