EPTI mean who is going to replace Life as the best Zerg now?
SK? That guy haven't been doing great these days.
Rogue? Really?
Life was the only Zerg player from SC2 that have "the champion look" in his mannerism.
Life arrested on match-fixing charges - Page 35

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 | ||

The people caught could implicate more involved... As long as they get the people responsible, at the root of the problem. | ||

I think hes a good guy and would be awesome to see him win a GSL or premier event. He's come so close.. | ||

He wasn't desperate for money with a team depending on him financially. He wasn't being pressured by some higher-up on his team. He was one of the star players on a premier Kespa team, who was surely salaried well, and even if he wasn't for some unfathomable reason, he has earned nearly half a million dollars in his careers through earnings regardless. Unless a major revelation comes out in the aftermath, the only word that comes to mind is greed. | ||

The financial system in America didn't almost crash earlier this decade because a bunch of low level, white collar office accountants making $50k intentionally fudged some numbers to get ahead. It was a systemic perpetration by executive and senior level leaders across the entire banking, regulatory, and political spectrums. Greed has no limits, and knows no bounds. And those who make far more from one yearly cash/stock bonus than Life will ever accrue in all his winnings and endorsements, were and will never be satiated. Sports betting and point shaving have been staples of this country for a long time. It's just nowadays that mainstream attention is beginning to be drawn to its vast scope. Hugely popular sites like FanDuel and DraftKings (while facing current legal issues), are not only in bed with the dominant ESPN empire, but also have been revealed to have had quiet arrangements with all major North American sports. No one, no matter your position or standing, should ever be excused for mortgaging or forfeiting their integrity. But the punishments in this country, sadly never fit the crime. Politics here is the same as any crime family. The low level enforcers who do as their told by their faceless superiors inevitably take the fall, while the bosses walk away with a reprimand (and often even richer for their troubles). Lastly, the popular notion here that no one really came out the worse for wear aside from unknowing bettors, portends very poorly for the present and future of our societal and global awareness. The big money behind the scenes across gambling inevitably lies in illicit activity. And crime doesn't get rich and thrive off betting on rigged SC2 games. It does that from exploiting women and children. And the distribution/sale of drugs that destroy lives. The endgame of gambling is logically match-fixing. But it's the process that leads there that rips apart the threads of our humanity. | ||

Except if you read this thread you would see many occasions where people showcase the differences in the legal system in Korea where after an arrest/ being charged you are going to be found guilty 99% of the time because they are that thorough before actually making that move. Are you really so naive to think this is some recent development? I guarantee you the Life investigation and collection of evidence has been going on for some time. So yes logically I can pretty easily say he's guilty and at this point so would anybody with half a brain. | ||

Hope he is banned from streaming. You could tell something was "going on" at PRIME just by watching them play. Their team was down to 4 players, 4 players total on the entire team, and they all looked dispirited. Most of their matches in proleague were humiliating loses, although a few of their players did so-so in individual leagues. It was obvious they were going to disband soon whether something like this happened or not. | ||
