Give them 10 to 15 years so they smarten up instead of just letting them go into the wild after a year where they'll do even more damage..


Woah slow down there. I think the Judge's verdict is perfectly sound. 10-15 years is usually a punishment reserved for murderers and rapists. In any case, they have ruined their own lives, you can be sure as with the Savior scandal, society as a whole has already ostracized them. You wouldn't be the first or the last person to feel that way, so its safe to say that they are indirectly being punished. They have trespassed their society's honor code, and they will reap their punishment, deserved or not.

IIRC, the conviction rate is extremely high in Korea (among most Asian countries) and based almost entirely on confessions.

Also I'm shocked at how vindictive people are on this topic. They were banned for life and now live with convictions. That seems pretty tough to me.

Do you think they will eventually post apology letters and be interviewed.

Not trolling, not trying to start something, just curious.

As far as the law is concerned, Marineking is officially not guilty, correct? I remember hearing his name tossed around when all this started...
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

He was investigated by KeSPA I believe, but I don't believe the law was involved at all. At any rate he was never charged with anything.

So if they behave for 3 years then no prison time? What a nice way of promoting matchfixing.

They're still banned for life and can never compete again in e-sports in Korea.

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.


You ever hear of the NCAA?

That's pretty harsh sentencing for first time non violent offenders. The amount of money involved also is so small. It's not like they stole money from someone it's gambling money.

In Turkey they make you into giblet gravy for match-fixing.

I think they should get stuffing.

Gerrard is clearly a snitch if her was the mastermind behind this, yet got way smaller penalties. How can anyone trust him after this fiasco? I wonder if the reason ByuN was absent for so long and not playing for Prime was because Gerrard is a snake?

And "gambling money" just grow on trees, it does not come from people who bet on someone without knowing it's fixed and their money is lost the moment they bet?

It's same as stealing the money from betters.

Is anyone going to do this. This might be controversial. If anyone is still followed to Yoda's twitter account send what he tweets. I would want to know if he tweets why he match fixed and if he apologises.

Well considering that starcraft was their life, losing their reputation and the ability to compete is a pretty huge punishment.
