Anyone knows exactly how a suspended sentence works in this case? Is it suspended because of his age and he will actually be impriosoned after 3 years? Or this means he will not be imprisoned if he doesn't do anything illegal within a 3 years period?

The later. He'll be on probation for 3 years, and if he breaks probation (by committing a crime or breaking whatever conditions the judge gave him) he'll have to serve the 18 months in prison.

Ugh this. I'd forgotten, just recently got back into the game and *insert Batman sound effect here*. Such a waste.

You are rejected by universities in the US if you have any kind of criminal record or is it case by case?

I like how through this roundabout way we for the first time officially hear that KeSPA banned him for life.

Anecdotally I have more than a few friends with felonies who have been accepted into good 4 year programs so I don't think this is a black and white thing. It does make the job hunt harder, though.

I'm not good with laws. What does "18 months in jail, suspended for three years" mean?

Please change the title. I was so happy to read that the charges are dismissed and he's free to go when reality kicked in.

If he commits any offenses in the next 3 years, or breaks any rules and regulations determined by the judge, he has to serve 18 months in jail. If he doesn't, he won't have to spend any more time in jail.

It doesn't say "charges dismissed" so it's not like the title is lying to you.

He would be exempted from military service (or, rejected) and divested of his right to vote during his time.(if the crime was committed before 2014).

Of course, he would get all the disadvantages you mentioned.

Life argued that he had already been jailed for two months following the charges

This part is a bit weird, I thought it was established he could not be held in prison for more than about a month, guess not
I Protoss winner, could it be?

and again gamers are punished but criminals that approched them aren't.

and again greatest zerg of his time goes down. something is in the swarm :/

really, this is so bad, there is so much money in gaming and games are played by kids without education or mentors. they are easy targets.

I've always enjoyed watching Life play and his play style was definitely one that could get anyone invested into SC2. It's sad to see someone of his caliber and influence go down in shame. I don't think Life should have an asterisk next to his accomplishment (titles, achievements, whatever you want to include in there) and what he's done but he should be used as a proving point that no programmer is safe from the wrath of the system when it comes to match-fixing.

Hopefully this will spark something from KeSPA and other teams to implement more oversight and educate their players about match-fixing. Then, I'm an optimist and always hoping for the best, so we'll see.

I'm going to miss watching Life vs. PartinG (yes, I know PartinG has been relatively absent from the scene, or to my knowledge he's been). I'll forever consider Life the best SC2 Zerg player, ever.
