That kind of thing does cause disturbance in the society, for gaming companies, betting companies and regular consumers. | ||

Well, at least he deserves some kudos for turning himself in; that's the right thing to do and hopefully it will play a role in convincing others that matchfixing is NOT ok... Something seriously has to be done with improving the conditions of players so that they are not incentivized to matchfix, and the gambling side more harshly enforced...sad because I think in the abstract having a betting scene is not bad for a sport, but I don't know how much actual, engaged, PLAYING community starcraft has even received due to having betting and it has certainly caused damage with all these scandals... | ||

I feel your pain. :/ I was such a die hard Life fan and remained to this day checking TL for Life news and checked brackets just to see how he did. It was agony waiting all this time to hear the result and this was not the result I would have liked to hear. ;~; I guess the kid will learn from the experience, but it's still upsetting. | ||

Well I think it too but it wasn't clear in the official statement. But if YoDa and BboongBboong are permanetly banned Life and Byong are supposed to be the same. | ||

Not only that, committing fraud to swing a bet in your favor is also huge. 70K USD is a lot of money, whether it be America or Korea. I could see why they want to punish him. But then again, he'll probably just be put on probation for a few years like Savior did. That's getting off pretty lightly to me. At least he's still young. He can still go to college and do stuff with his life. Although given how Korean shaming system works, his family wont be able to show their face in a while. Oh well, such is life. 99% (or all) systems of gambling are crooked (rigged), so to me all of this is thieves code stuff. And you are right, gambling is illegal there, which I think adds some legitimacy to the punishment, but I certainly do not think it warrants more. Saying jail is a good place to house people that manipulate gambling, is like saying jail is a good place for a pot head. You give the former a living wage/good paying job, you give the latter good community/a sport or passion to drive their energy into mastery... You give them both the tools they need to manage and thrive amongst the inner turmoil of the human emotional world. Teach them a way to exist without having to manage their experience through drugs or gambling. If you lock them in a cage and forget about them. Years later after you let them out, you will probably find that torture sows dark seeds. | ||

I wonder if they'd give Bbyong a non permanent suspension because he turned himself in. I assume he's banned for life but I could see an exception because he turned himself in. | ||

A lessened suspension would probably be best though. | ||
