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 |

In the end what is real? Lets kick in all the matrix theories.

I am very much missing whatever part of this makes sense. In my experience, people do things that make sense - to them, at least. If something seems insane, it's almost always because some jigsaw piece is hidden.
Life is the guy in SC2. If you were going to pick someone to be in Starcraft, it would probably be him. There are a lot of talented players, but when all's said and done, nobody has subverted the idea of what a race should play like more profoundly than him. Zergs don't love Life because he wins, they love him because WHEN he wins, he makes it look like his opponents have completely missed the point.
If he has done this terrible thing, then I flat out don't get it. It's like James Dean going down for tax evasion. I think I mostly don't want it to be true because whatever jigsaw piece completes this picture, I lose.

Exactly. But most of them are treated as game shows. What makes them any different from a fixed game show from the 50's? Especially considering some of them have you call in or vote and crap on it... Has viewers spending real money on them.

Well there are tons and tons of hypothetical reasons that would make sense to explain his potential matchfixing :
-Him feeling that he wasn't as dominant as before, thus it was the right time to gain money through matchfixing
-Him having spent all his $$$ in gambling/parties/whatever, thus being in need for money
-Even worse, him having actually contracted debts doing the forementioned activities, leading to him being really in need for money
-Simple, pure greed (ie more money is always better), as is common in human beings
-Him being blackmailed by criminal organizations into matchfixing
-Him having developed an habit of using opportunities, whether they are legal or not
-Him being persuaded that the Korean scene was going to die soon, thus that he had to make big money in a short time frame
-Him having decided to retire in less than two years, thus that he had to make big money in a short time frame
-etc

Some maybe, some no, but regardless, it's going to have to be major to make this add up.
