This is really disappointing. I would have liked to see him compete in LotV :/

At the same time, match fixing is unacceptable at any level. Especially a guy who's had as much success as Life.

I mean, I guess I'll be the one to ask the truly important question here.

Can we give Mvp the G5L retroactively?

This is the only real way to deal with match-fixing. It is a criminal act and should be treated as such.

You cannot compare those two to eachother. Just dont

I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Bbyong won his match against DRGLing though. I don't understand being paid to throw 1 map?

DRGLing was a huge underdog. Even 1 map win for him can mean huge payouts for the gamblers.

What's to understand? The organised betting was on that one map, so the outcome of the rest doesn't matter.

Same goes for Life... you pay him to throw one map and thats it. Then you go to illegal betting sites and bet on "life will lose map 2 against XY". You do not bet on the complete set.

And for the proving: You got the prove of the money. You can have the communication notes by both partys (short messages, whatsapps, Emails, chats, ... ), you can have the word of the bookers, you can have other notes. Maybe Life even confessed what he did.

Its not too hard to find out about matchfixing, because all matchfixers we know have been dump: Communicating in a way that authorities could read it, money transfers that have been watched, confession of the players, confession of the bookers.

Apparently, Life was already sentenced?
On April 21 2016 15:15 Waxangel wrote:According to Yonhap news (source), Life was sentenced in January, receiving a sentence of eighteen months in prison, suspended by three years. A suspended sentence in Korea is similar to pre-emptive probation, with the convicted parties not required to their original sentence should they pass the probationary period without infractions. Life was also fined 70,000,000 won, the sum of his compensation for match-fixing.

Life's sentencing is in line with the sentencing from the PRIME match fixing scandal, the Changwon Prosecutor's Office first investigation into match-fixing. Yonhap news reports that prosecutors have appealed the sentencing for being inappropriately lenient.

Bbyong has also been charged with obstruction of business and receiving bribes, but has yet to receive sentencing.

No.


maybe MVP knew his injuries were getting too bad and he knew he was going to leave the scene... and so just like any old pro wrestling champion he passed the torch and went out on his back.

I think we should talk about the fact that Enough was in both this and the Prime-scandal. He was a solid Bw player.

A really sad day... This situation is that of Saviour's fiasco magnitude. I hope he never gets to play anything remotely competetive again.

I'm really sad for Bbyong. I hope he gets some sort of pardon since he turned himself in and worked with the prosecution.

Well, this is it, I think.

Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

So i assume that both Bbyong and Life are banned from Kespa? And both will be released from their teams?

No official statements as of yet, but it's exceedingly likely that KeSPA will ban them both for life.
