Really, we all know there has never been any matchfixing in Korea....wait, what ? I personally think ladder qualifiers are exciting and would like to get them even more hyped up, as anyone above me said, the TSL qualifiers back then were great and generated a lot of stories. There will always be players that think they can trick the system, no matter the system, and if this accusation is true, it just proves how dumb players can be, as it is extremely transparent who played against which opponent, at what time, for how long, etc. | ||

Yah, i understand your argument, i just don´t think it is necessary, since i don´t think it is that big of a deal. And I don´t want to renounce of something i like just because of some dumb kids not understanding why there is no fun in not being fair. But hey, i also understand that this is my point of view and that there are a lot of people with another opinion. | ||

I actually made it in the tournament because players got removed for this exact reason. and that was like 15 years ago. how does TSL avoid it? just, transparency with replays and a lot of oversight? Yeah, maybe someone actually involved in the process will comment, but there were so many knowledgeable people (both TL staff and fans) watching the TSL ladder so closely. I'm not sure what exact process the TSL admins used, but I think at the very least they examined the match history of every qualifying player. If anything looked fishy then they did a deeper investigation. Replays were all available to be watched, so even if games looked normal from the outside (by match length, build order, APM, etc), there were people actually watching the replays to see if there were any signs of throwing the game or abnormal play. It's unfortunate that in 2019 there are multiple people in this thread disapproving of ladder qualifiers due to fair play being supposedly inherently unenforceable when a bunch of volunteers were capable of running some very awesome ladder qualifiers a decade ago. As others have said, ladder qualifiers can be really fun but organization and community have to be there. | ||

It's not just throwing games on ladder for teh lulz, it's like throwing against your teammate in a tournament so that they can advance. | ||

Nope, this is Cyan laddering and boosting Route's account to 6.2k so they could be matched in ladder and do whatever they need to get the spots... in this case taking a free win (0:00 win) 2 min before the time expires to get the last one. | ||

Plus account-sharing which is also alleged and proven beyond a reasonable doubt is expressly against the general ToS as well. EDIT: 6.2. Cheating. (a) Players must compete to the best of their ability at all times. Any form of cheating will not be tolerated. All players are prohibited from influencing or manipulating a WCS game or match so that the outcome is determined by anything other than its merits. Examples of cheating would include: • Collusion, match fixing or any other action to intentionally alter, or attempt to alter, the results of any game or match, including losing a game or match with another player in order to advance one or the other’s rank; • Allowing an individual who is not the registered owner of a Battle.net Account to play on that Battle.net Account in StarCraft II or any other Blizzard game. (b) If someone asks you to bet on any WCS game or “fix” the outcome of a game, you must immediately report this contact to Blizzard using the following email address: sc2admin@blizzard.com. https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/page_media/m5/M538872VEAGF1516242955164.pdf | ||
