EPTi think he means that you shouldn't gamble on corrupt gambling sites. but if you are that aware of it and can see it and hedge it then i don't think anyone would argue with success

So on the second map I decided to cannon rush since I thought I could win by destroying the gateway in his base, but when I saw his base, there's a gateway but no gas, so I thought he's gonna expand, and I blocked his gas, so he can't stop my cannon rush. But what I didn't know was that it's rail who taught him this strategy, because he knew that I would try to finish this game quickly since I thought my opponent is weak, and he tricked me by one gateway in main base and 3 proxies outside. That totally got me, and resulted in a lot of mistakes from me. But I think even if I didn't make those mistakes, I still wouldn't win that map, since I couldn't defend my base, he could just make another base and recall the probes. It's my fault, this is an embarrassing game." | ||

The excuse he gives isn't some of problem with lag or distress. He just plays dumb. He has a build order advantage throughout the game (don't think he doesn't know that) and makes unimaginable errors consistently and repeatedly (literally the same mistakes repeated after trial and error). Now returning to the issue, he did this in a game that also happened to have an outlandish bet for him to lose a map. I wonder if we would even be talking about this, if it wasn't for Powerfoe losing his bet. There is more than enough evidence for me, I'm all for protecting players, but not when the evidence is overwhelmingly against you. People play bad games, people make mistakes, people lose to much weaker opponents, but not like this. Just because he doesn't admit it, doesn't mean hes innocent. I'm not sure there has been a more obvious incident before honestly, maybe someone can prove me wrong (game-play wise). Completely agree. Wouldn't you say he literally played at a platinum level or lower this game? Simply impossible for a pro to play like this if they aren't trying to lose. | ||

You didn't know about Macsed's opponents' very low level for instance that basically makes any volatility argument mute and you could have gotten that from the OP even. | ||

Multiple people is half when I'm referencing the people still posting in the thread actively, which is a handful. Don't be so salty, pal. I said mirror match ups were perceived as volatile and that people would make a punt on protoss v protoss over another match up. The issue appears to be your reading comprehension. It's well established throughout the thread that there was a large skill disparity. Spare me the pointless nit picking. | ||

Looks to me like some "passionate fans" of the game are more passionate in gambling odds and accusing progamers based on their own objective perception than the game itself, for reasons beyond my comprehension. | ||

I must say it was funny to see you immediately follow that up with a wrongly used "literally" though. I also had a little chuckle when you accused me of "poor reading comprehension" after telling me to read the thread to find certain type of posts of which I already gave an example myself. Anyway I hope a proper investigation is being conducted and I will have peace with whatever outcome. | ||

I wasn't saying anything. This very comment of yours is you interpreting others' words with your objective perception. | ||

after the game he asked "was this a gold league game i dont get it" to which i told him "believe it or not the cannon rushing protoss is a 6500mmr player, and the other is in like diamond 2/3" and he even asked how people could say something like this isnt a fixed game. He may not be, most telling for me is how dominate he was in G1/3 then completely shits the bed on G2 and plays like a first timer or something | ||

They are almost completely disconnected from the western community due to the language barrier and are mediocre at the game so of course they would have to deliver some big news/events worthy of discussion to get our attention. | ||

And why should I answer it? I do not work for either WESG or Pinnacle nor do I know anything about what actually happened to that game, unlike common Internet mob I tend not to jump to any conclusions before formal investigation is over or any concrete evidence shows up. | ||

Domestically, Chinese players such as Punk, Coffee, Silky, Jin, Park, and BreakingGG have been temporarily or permanently banned for match-fixing in Chinese domestic SC league. Internationally, Cyan and Jieshi were banned from WCS for match-fixing for winter 2019. Yes, along with a long list of Korean players, as well as Special, who got banned for three month because of doing similar things like Cyan and Jieshi. Shall we start to clean the SC2 scene by banning all Korean players, since they have the most match-fixers? You are being racist here. Also, the more interesting thing is that you are being racist against your own race. The nickname "chin" associated with Classic is something used most often within the Chinese SC2 community. Next time when you came up a cover-up account, pick something more covert. | ||
