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

It's really weird how quiet everyone in Korea is about this. Is he still being held in prison because of fixing a video game for that long? Should we even expect to know if he is released? I guess the police isn't oblige to provide news updates, but aren't there some real e-sports journalist in Korea?

In any case, what I learned from this thread that in Korea, they can apparently hold you up for 20 days in jail because of a suspicion of a really minor crime. I am not sure I ever want to step into such country.

Yes, it is. It's a fucking game! It also steals money only from people who are betting illegally anyway. It is also not violent.

I am not saying that we should accept matchfixers with open arms, but compared to almost any serious crime, it's really nothing.

It depends how you define serious crime. If Life received big amounts of money for matchfixing and was involved in illegal betting, he may be also charged for tax fraud and similar shit :/

Fixing a match is a really minor crime?

Obviously it is. It is not a violent physical crime, it doesn't affect the way hundreds of people live, it doesn't affect the way justice works, it does not steal money from anyone except illegal betters. I get that seen from the eSports microcosm what Life is supposed to have done is the equivalent of dropping a nuclear bomb on civilians, but truth is from the real world it's minor shit.

e : and I agree with opisska. In France you can be held by the police up to 48 hours if the supposed crime is worthy of 1+ year of jail, and up to 144 hours if it's terrorism-related. Here the guy is supposed to have matchfixed some games and 20 full days means 240 hours of custody...

In Japan you can be held for "questioning" for 23 days. No joke.

In general, criminal law systems in Asia are so... rudimentary.
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

Yeah, I found that out when I started to research Japan because I am going there in May for a conference. Already makes me nervous.

In foreign lands, you can get in trouble without even knowing you do something wrong. One day, I will tell you a story about my friends having been arrested for filming homosexual pornography in Argentina.

That's funny that it comes from a citizen of a country that does this

Our custody is so abused it's not even funny and no one gives a shit. And the compensation is stupidly low. And when a judge says, that people shouldn't be compensated after a custody, because that's just a mechanism to get the true villain... what do you expect?

We have people who are released out of custody after a year with destroyed lives. No. One. Here. Cares.

Though you have to be charged to be held so long, but that's not a problem, charges are easy. It's a known problem.

It's really weird how quiet everyone in Korea is about this. Is he still being held in prison because of fixing a video game for that long? Should we even expect to know if he is released? I guess the police isn't oblige to provide news updates, but aren't there some real e-sports journalist in Korea?

In any case, what I learned from this thread that in Korea, they can apparently hold you up for 20 days in jail because of a suspicion of a really minor crime. I am not sure I ever want to step into such country.


Fixing a match is a really minor crime?

Obviously it is. It is not a violent physical crime, it doesn't affect the way hundreds of people live, it doesn't affect the way justice works, it does not steal money from anyone except illegal betters. I get that seen from the eSports microcosm what Life is supposed to have done is the equivalent of dropping a nuclear bomb on civilians, but truth is from the real world it's minor shit.

e : and I agree with opisska. In France you can be held by the police up to 48 hours if the supposed crime is worthy of 1+ year of jail, and up to 144 hours if it's terrorism-related. Here the guy is supposed to have matchfixed some games and 20 full days means 240 hours of custody...

In Japan you can be held for "questioning" for 23 days. No joke.

Yeah, I found that out when I started to research Japan because I am going there in May for a conference. Already makes me nervous.

Just be a law abiding citizen and you'll be good. Or if you do plan to commit a crime, leave the country before they're on to you


In foreign lands, you can get in trouble without even knowing you do something wrong. One day, I will tell you a story about my friends having been arrested for filming homosexual pornography in Argentina.

Relax! Just don't film the homosexual thing in Japan! :-)

I am not saying that we should accept matchfixers with open arms, but compared to almost any serious crime, it's really nothing.


It depends how you define serious crime. If Life received big amounts of money for matchfixing and was involved in illegal betting, he may be also charged for tax fraud and similar shit :/





Whatever. I still believe that means of force, such as extended detention without being charged - and then even custody - should be used only in the most serious cases that warrant it. The state should not be empowered to detain people left and right.

That's funny that it comes from a citizen of a country that does this

Our custody is so abused it's not even funny and no one gives a shit. And the compensation is stupidly low. And when a judge says, that people shouldn't be compensated after a custody, because that's just a mechanism to get the true villain... what do you expect?

We have people who are released out of custody after a year with destroyed lives. No. One. Here. Cares.

Though you have to be charged to be held so long, but that's not a problem, charges are easy. It's a known problem.


It's still not as bad as three weeks for "questioning". From what I had the pleasure learning about the systems elsewhere, we should be pretty glad for what he have. Even though obviously it could be better.

Well, we just don't have enough space Otherwise it would be abused more :D I won't continue in this anymore, since I think it's OT. But remember, this is just 1 case you know
