Or do we have wait for the judge to actually sentence Life? And are we going to hear more arguments like but his match-fixing did not take away his championship performances. | ||

I'd really like to know, why? Winner from Kespa cup gets ₩ 10,000,000 Life matchfixed 2 maps and gets ₩ 70,000,000 thats pretty easy mathematics. Life is good but not that good he can just look at tournament "Nice extra pocket money ez 1st place" He also had some kind of problem with gambling when he was competing outside Korea he probably wasn't that rich even though he won a lot from tournaments. Sad but expected. I wonder if Life/Bbyong will release some apology or something I would like to hear their thoughts about this. | ||

Thats why all the terrans and zergs wants a piece of the cake. The difference is that unlike zergs and terrans protoss are good enough at decision making and strategic thinking to pull it off. Thats why they never get caught xD Seed, Khala my ass you strategic genius (obviously no accusation just joking around) Protoss don't need wealthy they can throw for just sake of throwing like Lilbow end of hots ":D" | ||

As for Life, sad to see him do that, though I guess that's what talented kids do. As for Bbyong, even sadder to see him do that, though I guess (hope for him, at least) that if he turned himself in he had negociated a lesser sentence before (if that's possible in Korea). Do we know when will sentences be made? edit : also, does anyone has links to the incriminated games? | ||

I want the Korean scene to be strong, have lots of events, lots of strong players and strong teams (like SKT and Jinair) who compete to the best of their ability in cool events like GSL, SSL, Proleague and KeSPA Cups. Between Blizzard stifling Koreans by preventing them from competing in international and open events, as well as some Koreans match-fixing because of easy money, the outlook for Korean players is just a little bleak right now. What are sponsors even thinking right now? What are fans and viewers thinking? What are other professionals thinking? It's just a disgusting situation all around.

It was not a suspicious game. It looked like dream was just faster at multitasking, but now we know that life just threw the game intentionally. The sums are incredible. 30000 dollar for just one match. How can you say no to that. well, if Dream just simply outplays Life it just makes it easier for the latter to lose without it being suspicious. that doesn't mean nobody paid him to lose on purpose "in case he would otherwise win". glad they have been caught, sad that it's been happening. i'm surprised they were (apparently) dumb enough to wire the money through banks rather than handing them cash but hey, good for the justice system. | ||

Well, it's not entirely unlike drug dealing where the rewards are also dramatically more than honest work. You can get a big payout but you also have quite a bit more risk. You're not going to get prosecuted for winning a KeSPA cup. | ||

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 ^^). I think it's mostly because everybody who has met him describes him as a nice guy and so he seemed during broadcasts as well. The excitement we could see in his games makes it less believable that he did it for greed and makes many people think about possible circumstances that made him do it. But yes, those are all just guesses as you said, and we will probably never know the whole truth. Too bad. | ||
