Starting from this page on, I will be moderating more harshly toward any mention of MarineKing's name. This thread has NOTHING to do with MarineKing. 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

But seriously though, this really blows.

I 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.

I mustve missed it, did Wolf warn of some impending doom?

When the Prime thing broke he did a Twitch session where he said that he'd heard names that would shock people


Got a bad feeling this aint over then... The people caught could implicate more involved... As long as they get the people responsible, at the root of the problem.

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

It depends on your level of intelligence. Are you like the majority of users here it seems and feel the need to keep posting things like "innocent until proven guilty" or some other "this is a misunderstanding" or are you logical and realize there was likely some pretty hard evidence to arrest and charge one of the highest profile players we have.


"It depends on your level of intelligence"

That is a very dumb statement.


Very well thought out post. Great content.


It's basically self-evident that your statement was dumb. Accusations or charges of high-profile people do not necessarily mean they're guilty (even if Kespa's official position is that if you're charged with matchfixing then you're banned for life).

I think TLO has what it takes to be the most creative zerg out there now.

We didn't give this level of patience to Gerrard, or B4, or Yoda. There is one person who must be held responsible, first and foremost, for the incidents that have led to this arrest. That person's name is Lee Seung Hyun.

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 world is better when every background has a chance.

Someone else mentioned there is a 98% conviction rate, one can assume then that they wouldnt arrest him without a slam dunk.

Like someone else pointed out, theres no details as to what the match fixing was. It could be something as simple as a specific timing or as bad as taking a loss. Either way it sounds almost certain money was passed for some sort of manipulation of the game.


The announcement specifically says he was arrested for receiving money. You don't say that publicly without being damn sure.


I have a prosecutor in my family (brother) and I can tell you, that you will not get arrested unless the evidence is rock solid.
Just to be clear I'm not american (no redneck laws over here)

That's pretty much how it works everywhere with a reasonably modern legal system.

Rather saddening to see the amount of folks here proclaiming their disbelief that someone rich, famous, and supremely talented could infringe upon their integrity. Hopefully it's pure naivety from all the younger fans who haven't yet learned the ways of how humans work.

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.

Kinda sad to see the different ways a player like life is being treated by the community compared to the last batch of guys. Hope he is banned from streaming.

That would be interesting, but it could be much more subtle stuff. The range of shit that gets bet on within a match is crazy.

I dont get the reasoning. With risk of killing off your remaning passion, matchfixing could be just as common if not more common in the foreign scene considering the low payments and whatnot, especially since we dont have the same government body like KeSPA watching over the foreign teams and players.

Are you really going to let one turd kill off a hobby for you?

Actually all the losses of foreigners vs Koreans look suspicious, don't they? /s

I don't get this logic, some people did something wrong in a particular group, so the other group can do the same wrong thing too? "Common if not more common" is almost a blind accusation


I have no idea what it is that you want.

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.
