Yonhap News (link) reported that sentencing was passed down on Gerrard, YoDa, BBoongBBoong and others involved in the PRIME match-fixing scandal.

Gerrard, YoDa, and BBoongBBoong were sentenced to 18 months in prison, but had their sentences suspended for three years. Former progamer Enough who acted as a broker received a two year sentence, suspended three years. In the Korean judicial system, a suspended sentence is essentially probation that occurs before a sentence actually starts. If the convicted parties can pass the probationary period without any infractions against the law, they will not serve their original sentence.

The players involved in the 2010 match-fixing scandal received similarly sentencing; For example, Savior received a sentence of one year in prison, suspended two years.

Additionally, YoDa was fined 30 million Korean Won (KRW), which is approximately $26,000 USD. Gerrard was fined 10 million won, while BBoongBBoong was fined 5 million won. The other brokers and financial backers involved received sentences between 10 and 18 months, also suspended.

Judge Seo Dong-chil, who passed down the sentencing, said "Lowering the credibility of esports and damaging its foundations should be punished severely. However, [the convicted] did not participate in match-fixing previously, and the actual amount of profit they gained was not large. Taking this into account, I suspend their sentences."

Weird they all got the same sentence; You'd expect a higher sentence for Gerrard.

glad we have a sentence. Hope that it will discourage people from match-fixing.

One of those YoDa's got to be BBoongBBoong, right?

The force is stronk with those ones.

Regarding previous information we had, I expected Gerard to get much more than the players involved. I am a bit surprised.
I guess we will also have to wait that long for update on Life's case.

Presumably the 2nd one, as the prosecutor's report only mentioned one instance of BBoongBBoong matchfixing. Would make sense for YoDa to get a higher fine.

Well, they got 18 months of jail on 3 years of probation. If all 4 of them actually went to jail sAviOr would have gotten off the easiest.

Good to see that match-fixing is still punished hard. Hopefully we get some updates regarding Life soon.

The Prime scandal reared its head in October of last year. Life was brought in by the authorities in February of this year. So probably no news for a while.

It says "and others". Any idea who those others are?

And I love the opinion of the judge ""Lowering the credibility of esports and damaging its foundations should be punished severely."

No where else in the world would you hear a statement like that. Props to Korea for being so progressive.

"and others" probably refers to the people who setup the bets.

Yes, but it's still weird that not even KESPA said anything about it (ban?). We shouldn't expect a sentence for a while, but ANY statement by ANYONE.
