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 | ||

Zero idea why this didn't make it into it's own thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/489777-s2sl-challenger-day-4-expect-all-ins-s3-2015?page=2#23 Ah, and at the end too. That's why I don't remember. | ||

You made an account like 2 days ago and have posted nothing but a gambling rumor that you made up and how shitty this community is. If you don't like this place or the emotions that we have for one of the faces of the game, leave. User was warned for this post You seem like a very nice chill layout person. If you really read this tread then you already know that i made a account especially for this. Life was my favorite player, i lost my old account, not gonna exlpain it again all over. So thats how you want it, if somebody thinks different then you, they must leave  People like you make me laugh so hard. I also dont know why people would stop playing sc2, why people say its a dead game if this is true, i hate that kind of mental thoughts. But you are free to think so short minded. Even if sc2 have no more pro players no more tournaments, i would still play sc2. But you are proberly right and you are a big fan of sc2 right? Proberly just a spectator and doesnt even play the game at all. | ||

I have been watching and playing BW on and off for over a decade now. At the end of the day, if we want our game to be taken seriously, and to continue to thrive in a meaningful way, you have to be able to attract spectators. Spectators keep the lights on. Spectators pay the bills. Without the spectators there are no televised matches, there is no money for websites like this one. Without them, there is no money for 'pro gamers'. So, sure, you can keep playing the game competitively. Nothing will ever kill SC2 just like nothing has yet killed competitive bowling, competitive archery, competitive contract bridge, competitive boxing, or competitive wrestling. But the whole notion of 'pro-gaming' depends on spectators watching, cheering, and supporting the players in one form or another. | ||

If you are implying spectators are more important than player base, I gotta disagree. I don't watch any games I don't play. There can be a game with a lot of players and no spectators, but there can't be a game with a lot of spectators and no players. E-sports evolve from players bases, not out of thin air. Maybe I just don't get it and there are people who spend hours watching games they never played. Seems far fetched to me, especially in e-sports. All my friends that stopped playing no longer watch either unless I tell them to tune into finals or something. | ||

Damn where is that list All those players and, aside from the Prime ones, none of these were interrogated/arrested like Life is. One could assume that arresting a player is not the procedure unless a fairly substantial data is proven.  Feels like they are just digging out to find out more people involved in a (proven) scheme. | ||

Started playing again a couple of months ago. I'm not saying all people are like me, obviously, but at least some are. It is possible to have game with more watchers than players. | ||

Even if you don't actively play currently, if you played the game before around 1 year I'm assuming because it was released in 2010 if I remember correctly. If you are talking about active players, there is no discussion about it majority of televised sports have way more viewers than active players, maybe with the exception of golf. However, if you consider how many of those viewers are viewers because they played the game when they were younger I think you will find more former/active players than viewers in most cases. | ||

Playing sc2 is a thankless job for no money. He could have just been burnt out and wanted some guaranteed money. It's tough to kill yourself practicing for such a small chance to win a tournament. Plus someone else mentioned MC said that people threatened him to fix matches. If that is true, that would change things imo. | ||
