Blizzard eSports LatAm
Dear fans of StarCraft and Copa America, we regret to inform you that as part of an ongoing investigation by Blizzard on cases of match-fixing which affected WCS Europe, has identified the Latin American Juan "major" Tena as one of the players involved .

The player has been suspended this season's Copa America which classifies the WCS Circuit Spring Championship that will be played during Dreamhack ZOWIE Tours Open in May.

Because of this, the final key to this season's Copa America has been changed, and the best position will be taken by Tunico (3rd Place Group D).

At the moment this punishment only applies to this season's Copa America, however malicious intervention is a serious offense results so that may have major consequences.

We will keep our community informed about the progress of the investigation.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

MajOr has been disqualified from Copa América 2016 Season 2 and has been replaced by Tunico.

Copa América 2016 Season 2 RO8:
Kelazhur vs DarKLoVeR
Jarppi vs ByRada
Cham vs JimRising
Tunico vs Pacomike

MajOr statement :
hey guys. i rarely post here. but lemme explain my situation. so i played this ladder just for fun just like i did last ladder on my other id mencemeat. so today my friend miniraiser sends a article on spanish about copa america in skype chat saying i was DQED from copa america for matchfixing on WCS Europe. so my first reaction was like he was to be trolling me, so i open it. and its true i get so confused on why so i go check my email in hope i get some explanation. nothing i did this because when DNS / Marinelord had this problem. they got an Email from blizzard to ask for the replaays. i got none
So Moving on i want to clarifiy I DID NO MATCHFIX. i can give all my replays to blizzard if they want.
Only thing i can find is suspicious is out of my 140games i think i played during the ladder i got about 6-10 early leave games vs different players. on top of my head i think i left vs zanster vs botvinik and vs lambo. 1 game each. there has to be more but i dont recall. now lemme tell u why i did this. its not because i was cheating its because i been sick last 5days so literally sometimes i would que the game and would start feeling bad so i would just leave and go laydown or go to the bathroom. so now if this is matchfixing. im ridicolously upset over this decision.
consdiering the players that i think i supposedlty helped did not even qualify for the tournament and i had like a huge winrate vs them too 5-1 vs zanster i think 6-2 vs lambo like 7-1 vs botvinik. so how the fuck im matchfixining? i remember this clearly my last game of the ladder was vs zanster. i left immedatly cause i was feeling so bad just went to the bathroom and to sleep. this was atleast 4hours before the ladder lock. so if im being banned for giving zanster a free win 4hours before ladderlock cause im sick. than idk what to say.
this is all my speculation ofcourse cause blizzard didnt even tell me the real reason. but as i said I DID NOT MATCHFIX
edit: i got doctor note incase that helps in anything..

ok guys. so after pulling some strings ive finally made my way to contact kim phan on the phone which later contacted me with someone by the name of adren im really dissapointed. here is what happened:

So 4hours i think before the ladder ended i had 2 games vs lambo one on dusk and one on prion. one i left immediatly after i qued to go take my medicine and to the bathroom(wasnt feeling to well as already mentioned)since i forgotten to take it. and than we played again on prion and i lost i did a proxy reaper didnt work tried 1base banshee didnt work game went on for like 10mins and i lost. so those games are the suspicious ones are they suspcious? ofcourse they are if you just look at them without asking or knowing they fucking suspicious. but take in mind its 4hour before ladder lock ends and i didnt do it malisioucly at fucking all.
also this same day i went like 6-2 vs lambo counting those game so if anything i took more points from him than he won from those 2games.
this is one of their reasons.

2nd one is I used to left marinelord play on my account (mencemeat) and i played on his barcode take in mind this is outside of the ladder qualification so even tho its againts the rules to share account. EVERY SINGLE PROGAMER SHARES ACCOUNTS for practice purposes in korea everyone do it in foriegern scene too. if we gonna ban ppl for sharing accounts we will not have a pro scene anymore

im extremly upset im being called a cheater a scum oversomething like that that really had not even impact on the outcome of the competition and was not done malisioculy.

i did not try to help lambo qualify.

btw as my final word i asked so this mean i cant play copa america and im banned from tours completly? and hes responded to me there is a sligth chance u can play server qualifers but unlikely
so there you go guys. reason im being possibly banned from tours and def from this season of copa america is because i left 1 game vs lambo 4hours before ladderlock.
next time i wont play any ladder insane i got banned over this. i hope this dosent happen to anyone ever its fucking bullshit.

This is the first match fixing accusation that doesn't surprise me
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

I hope you guys don't go and believe this instantly just because they said so. Let's wait for the evidence.

At first I kinda laughed remembering that famous twit from MajOr to Bly. After reading this I'm like "dafuq" - seriously, some kind of evidence would be nice or at least getting in touch with player before going to public?

I also hope that you guys don't believe Major's cry "I am innocent!" instantly, especially knowing his past...

I am keeping my judgment for the later, when things settle.

This may very well be true. Or maybe it isn't. We'll just have to wait and see. Shouldn't trust Major's "0 proof 0 evidence" (that really is something guilty people usually say) and just wait for Blizzard to hopefully become a bit transparent on what's going on.
