Pray tell me how you're supposed to quit smoking without not lighting cigarrettes?
The person doing the heavy lifting when it comes to stopping addiction at all is always the person who is addicted in the first place. They should have the common sense to know that it's an issue and go out of their way to seek help when they need it. The same thing applies to depression or any other addiction.
Don't blame your doctor because you have cancer because you smoke, don't blame KeSPA because Life possibly gambled away his earnings.
Don't blame anyone because you're too fucking stupid to know not to start drugs or gambling.
Do go out of your way to seek help to break an addiction.
Do NOT blame others because you have an addiction.
Either way this is off topic and irrelevant to the topic at hand. Would be better to remain on topic.
It's not just about common sense, it's a mental health issue, if it was so easy to stop people would.

Maybe you will call it heresy, but I am not really too offended with someone throwing a game in a series they won at the end anyway. It doesn't really change anything while allowing a player to get a nice side income. Can you ban people for making posts this incredibly stupid? I don't find anything stupid on it. Life won the match with throwing a map here and there. As long as it doesn't affect the final result I am OK with it. Do you feel ok about point shaving, then? What is point shaving? Point shaving is trying to reduce your winning margin in games with a point spread. It's most commonly done in basketball because of the high scores. Basically, a team that's favored to win by 20 will, late in the game if they're guaranteed to win, stop playing as hard and try to win by less than 20.
Why?
@Novemberstorm I'm done discussing that topic, thanks.

Why am I hearing about Life's gambling issues now and not years ago?

I'm pretty bummed out, can hardly begin to imagine what some people are thinking at this point, especially guys like Zealously.
Can't even imagine to begin how I'd feel like right now if it were Maru. Pretty betrayed, I guess.
It's awful. Life was my favorite progamer, seeing him play would always bring this extra level of excitement. I haven't had much hope that he's innocent since the first accusations and the Korean scene became bland to me all of a sudden. There are other players I like but it has always been Life, then the rest. I'm actually surprised it hit me so hard but it did.

I've literally never seen the word "Life" and "gambling" in the same sentence on this site and I've been around for a while.

Okay, that puts the nail in the coffin for me, finally. I'm not even mad or angry. Be it Prime fixing, Life arrested, WCS changes, LotV as a game that I lost grip on - it's still speculative, I know, but this does not look like Life is guilty. I've been a Life fan, Life was the one inspiring me to play zerg, I cheered for this prodigy over and over again.
I have devoted whole days and weeks to this game. I would spend the whole night awake to be able to watch GSL finals. I'd tryhard to become masters again back in HotS, although I never managed to do it after WoL again. I loved the campaign, I loved everything about this game.
But yeah, that's it. I had my good times, my bad times, I've been constructive (sometimes), I've been toxic (more often ever since WCS changes came), I've had my great discussions and my sick fights. I think it's time to delete my account.

I've seen it swirled around in chats a bit, no idea how bad it was.

It was mentioned several times in the Life match fixing thread at least.

He asked for a ban and I obliged, but he can come back once he settles down.

To people saying it's Kespa / Blizzard's fault for not compensating the players well enough:
Raising monetary compensation isn't always going to have a directly positive impact. If you gave a financially irresponsible person even more money it can have a negative effect (which I'm being told Life apparently was). And if there was more money being pumped into an industry that just means the auxiliary (and illegal) industries around it gets more cash flow too. Often when you get to the higher range of compensation it actually has a directly corrupting influence to put that much money into the hands of athletes and promotes frivolous cultures. The examples in sports entertainment athletes and organizations are numerous.
Unless the argument is that the players are being paid starvation or poverty wages inadequate of comparable standards of living to their peers I don't feel like this argument holds any water.
