It's just terrible.

However I think it's time to stop putting blame on KeSPA. I'm sure they're not exactly happy with this situation either; an "you reap what you sow" approach towards KeSPA is not productive at all.

I hope they look at the situation and start looking towards lasting, effective solutions for the protection of progamers and Starcraft.

Anyway, this is absolutely terrible news. I hope it never happens again.

because it was one set and he turned himself in, I'm not surprised everyone is letting him off easy.

Right after that great article about the rivalry between Life and Dream, too. Looks like he didn't value that as much have as we all did.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

The sad thruth is, the only thing better than "having money" is, well, having more money. I pretty much don't care for his reasonings behind this, although they could help getting some sort of "understanding" for his behaviour. But well, getting 62k US-$ for actually not even LOSING the matches? Such an easy way of getting a ton of money, even without ruining your tournament run? That's really tempting. This doesn't actually NEED a proper reasoning such as gambling, that whole opportunity is just way to easy.

I don't really get why everybody is so lenient on Bbyong while condemning Life. Ok, he turned himself in but that looks like a move of damage limitation to me. Perhaps he knew about the connections to Life's case and that he would get caught eventually.
Assuming him being remorseful is just a wild guess (just like mine ^^).
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Bbyong turned himself in...
I wonder if he matchfixed under a threat.

edit: fronkschnonk, lol it sounds like i am replying to you, so to be clear, im not saying its less worse in Bbyong's case, though it could be.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

Using "dirty" money is a problem. You cannot use them easily because it attracts an attention of bureaus and you can be easily investigated. My mom works in prison and I've heard several stories about people who thought that having more money in shady way is actually easy and you can use them without any problems
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Yep, I guess you're right. God I would love to slap Life just once... When players aren't succesfull I can get why MF can be a solution (Prime). But here, meh, this is just disappointing. At least I'm glad that no player is safe from an investigation. Even if its a big name. Here's my ray of hope.

In the case of Prime - they were practically slaves. It§s not that they were not successful, the MF of Prime uncovered a lot of dirt on the team and Gerrard.

Yeah, that's actually a good point. On the other hand, life is 19 years old, who knows what amount of "Common sense" he accumulated. Yeah, he has had a pro-gaming career any SC2-pro can only dream of, but what else? His career would come to an end, one way or another, and he HAD to think of what's coming after this. So there is this opportunity, getting that huge chunk of money, with a very little chance of anyone noticing, since he didn't even generate an upset. He lost 2 maps, get's a really nice payout, and continues his way to the very top of SC2. All reasoning aside, how is this not oh so tempting for a 19 year old guy, that may not even know how his life is going to be AFTER his Pro-Gaming time?
