My whole idea was just that if money is your prior and only concern and you want to get them quickly (no matter how you achieve that goal), then easy and possible way is to bet against yourself in a situation, where you are guaranteed spot at WCS finals, you already won that league before and you are going to play against player, who is no favourite in that match but also is perfectly capable of beating you, so there is smaller chance that anybody will accuse you of matchfixing. Anyone could lost against sOs in the GSL semifinals and it wouldn't be weird. But try to imagine that Stats lose in the GSL semifinals against I don't know Hurricane for example. That would be much more suspicious. In the end, I don't think anyone should matchfix, but reality is that matchfixing is common element of any sport, not just e-sport. Depends also on the games. Like if Hurricane played a game of his life then I would not be suspicious. Besides, if you're not confident in acting at all, matchfixing for a successful player like stats is actually risky. Even if you get a ton of money, if you're caught, I believe you have to give it all back. | ||

Even if you think every kind of "cheese" is no skill and no thought strat that magically works at gsl, there's no excuse for the immortal push game. It was not even an immortal push. It was a macro game into a timing that worked bc sOs read the game and executed it better than stats. If you're smarter than your opponent, but maybe lacking in mechanics you're the worse player :/ ???? | ||

I would say If you can execute all those "dirty tricks" as well as sOs or Stats, it will still be a high quality match. And that's one of the reasons why he is a Diamond Protoss whereas sOs (or any Protoss greats) is even beyond GM Protoss. | ||

I feel like his playstyle lets him punch above his weight in that matchup. agreed its usually seemed like his strongest match, it must be so hard playing against some one who could and will do anything to throw you off your game especially in a match that is heavily dependent on mindgames. | ||
