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 only good that could come from this Life mess is that people actually start respecting MK again because he either didn't do it or is literally the greatest match fixer of all time. And something tells me its not that second one. The only way you get to that conclusion is if your already biased in favor of Marineking being innocent. Because the news of an additional Starcraft player matchfixing certainly doesn't make it less likely that MK did't do it. | ||

Therefore MarineKing getting off the hook, and Life being arrested does (to me) point to MarineKing being innocent. agreed  | ||

Marineking was confirmed investigated and unlike Life hasn't been arrested. So he either A) Didn't do it B) Is so fucking good at it that they couldn't catch him Now which of those things seems more logical? | ||

Or it is very possible the investigators never got enough proof that he did in fact receive money. If they can't find any trace of the cash he made, especially if it was spot cash, and if they can't get any mails or messages they just can't incriminate him based on a single game he lost. However I just can't believe he played this game to win it makes no sense. -First of all : he scouts the spine. At this level of play they can notice a drop on the minimap even if if shows for only a quarter of second so a building over creep so close to his base at a moment of the game where there is absolutely nothing else to do it is completely unrealistic that he didn't notice it -That said, let's say he didn't see it. Or let's pretend the reaper never went close to it and he never watched it. He didn't scout a damn 2nd base. In a TvZ. A. Freaking. TvZ. How often in your life do you see a 1 base zerg in a TvZ? For the terran perspective it means : sweet, I make 2 bunkers, I hold for a few minutes and it is free win. What does marineking do? Go 3 cc and do hellion reaper. Like... what? Seriously? And on top of that you keep the reapers in your base doing nothing. I mean you can like the guy, it's tough to admit it, but there's so much wrong in this game. I mean even a diamond player would have put up a better fight. I know marineking is known to be greedy and stuff but I mean there's just no reason at all here with everything scouted. It was intentional throw. There is no other explanation. Unfortunately you can hardly argue over this in court so investigators were probably asked to provide some physical evidence, which they never (or at least not yet) found because mkp probably took some caution when he did his little business. | ||

We all watched that game and i have no idea what could appear more like matchfixing. Sure Life vs Solar is sketchy but if MK got off the hook im sure Life can go 'oh pls spare me i didn't do anything' aswell. Right? | ||

What defies logic, though, is that - assuming MK were actually throwing on purpose - MK couldve done so sooooooo much more elegantly and soooooo much less suspicious all of which obviously leaves us no wiser; theres no way for us to determine whether he was actually losing on purpose. | ||

Evidence would be chat/voice recordings and/or exchange of money. Keep your speculations to yourself if you're going to be so wrong. | ||

Voice recordings of match fixing being planned plus money transfers between parties is a little more than "teasing about match fixing." | ||
