EPTIt definitely peaked in '04 to '06, and though it still felt strong in '10 to '11, I'm sure viewership had dropped and there were definitely significant sponsorship problems popping up.

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 | ||

That's a problem with many things, e.g. many of the most important intellectuals of the first half of the 20th century are partly discredited for being antisemitic and one has to constantly approach their work with caution and first determine whether this or that is tainted and whether it can be separated from their personal views. It's usually easier with artists and athletes, where the work or the achievement can stand for itself without being the conscious creation of a corrupt mind or whatnot, but it's not always possible and it requires some effort and introspection. | ||

Well, since nobody knows what's been going on, why not? I'd assume, if someone pressured/threatened him, an underage child, into it, he could still be allowed to play. For all we know, it could have been more than a year since this all happened. ... and I just don't want Life to leave the scene... :-/ | ||

Which I can only imagine, are the biggest sponsors in the scene, right? Did the coaches in KT know something was up and that's why they'd let Life go on such a ridiculous trade? It was said that the games in question were during his time on Startale and that Life requested his transfer away from KT. But maybe there is more underneath the surface. | ||

Why is them being the biggest sponsors that relevant? I doubt the theory that KT knew, he never got to play a single game on the Afreeca team, was still on KT in the teaser trailers and the last minute transfer won't have been heard of by many people. I think it does very little to distance KT from this. | ||

The Life vs. ALive match that was apparently voided by pinnacle wouldn't fit that description because he played it on KT. | ||

I know you want to believe he's innocent, that's cool but you don't get arrested unless there's some pretty clear evidence that says you're going to get a conviction and I'd say it would be double with a huge name like Life because of the backlash if he's not charged or not convicted. Face it dude they think your boy is guilty as sin | ||

It seems they don't plan on cutting Life from the KT PL teaser tho, and they're probably not going to air it with Life in it. Too bad because it's the best teaser of all teams! | ||
