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." | ||

It's pretty silly that a guy who barely can break masters is taking a game of a "semi-retired" (?) professional player. On top of that, MacSed sees his build coming almost immediately and doesn't respond. at all. this. Overall this looks very suspicious to me, just the coincidence of the hard swing of odds, the unnecessary cannonrush against a weaker player and incredible mistakes in gameplay are hard to write off. I think the most important thing would be checking if the redditpost belongs to the real seventy91 and if he actually is a 4k mmr player or not. If hes actually a 6k player theres a good chance someone knew about it and bet on him, maybe even himself. | ||

Confirmed that there was only 1 pylon, gateway incomplete, no gas, and NO CYBER. That should tell you that it's a proxy gate of some sort. What was Macsed reaction? Let's cannon rush the guy that obviously proxying me! Are you going to tell me that Macsed, a 6k+ player who got his probe in and saw a gateway that was incomplete with no gas didnt realize that it was proxy gate? Also, after scouting and seeing no gas/cyber, Macsed floated 300+ mins from 1:40 onwards. No reaction to a possible cheese at all. At one point, Macsed got up to 500 minerals, what was he saving up for, game 3? | ||

As mentioned this is typical for not only macsed but for the more "OG" Chinese protoss players as well. Not outstanding mechanics or multitasking but insane but brilliant builds and strats, like Phoenix Colossus, shoutout to Jim. I really dont think this even remotely worth looking into, this is nothing more than TL and reddit being bored and needing something to do. | ||

The sole fact that someone went ahead and bet a large amount of money on a 4k taking a game off of 6k makes this game suspect one way or another. In best case it means that someone on-site who saw the game happen live placed the bet before betting was closed. Which is, arguably, not a good thing either. | ||

Not to mention, most of these responses were normal. On top of that macsed has been out of play for a good while, is playing someone way worse than him, and likely just wanted to get to the next game. If this game is suspicious, MarineKing match fixed in proleague all those years ago. The betting line is weird. Its not suspicious. Just a little weird. But weirder things have happened. I HIGHLY SUGGEST PEOPLE STOP PITCHFORKING UNTIL WE SEE THE REPLAY, NOT JUST A REALLY BAD VOD. There's multiple places to find the VODS. Better quality. Why is every single poster that denies the evidence from brand new accounts? Why are all of you pulling what about isms? | ||

What is a crime and what should be investigated is whether or not Macsed was paid. Any investigation will follow the money. | ||

It's been around since the 90s. And a 6k player, who had the intel advantage, throws it away and loses to a Diamond. So is MacSed just insanely terrible? Because his first match against Seventy was so one sided that Seventy just gave up and a moved before they even got to three bases. | ||

- The second game in the series was won by Seventy91. I alternated looking at both players' screens during that game, and did not notice them making any errors on purpose. Seventy91 was certainly trying very hard and got frustrated if he made a misclick. MacSed looked like he did in his previous games (I'd been a ref for another of his matches before this one): focused, looking at the screen and with pro-level APM. Again: this does not prove or disprove anything, but it's not like MacSed was afk or something, or explicitly trolling. He looked serious. - The game was very scrappy and unusual. I haven't looked at the replay, so this is from memory from what I saw yesterday. Seventy91 went for a Zealot rush with 4 (I think?) gateways, one of which was in his main (something he later told me he did by accident, and which he said helped him win the game) and three were proxied near MacSed's base. MacSed, on the other hand, went for a cannon rush. He was unable to keep Seventy91's Zealots out of his base, and his cannon rush did not progress fast enough so he ran out of money to continue and lost the game. - I remember a moment where MacSed lost two of his probes doing the cannon rush in Seventy91's base to a Zealot. I don't know if those were all of his probes. I was looking at Seventy91's screen at that moment and remember thinking at that time that that was a blunder by MacSed. I do not know where MacSed was looking at that moment, I didn't see his screen then. The replay will probably help with this. I don't remember having any other thoughts regarding blunders or mistakes on MacSed's end during the game. - After game two, and as we quickly went into the third game, I remember seeing that MacSed chatted briefly with someone in the StarCraft client. They were two or three brief lines, and the other person responded quickly. I don't read Chinese so I can't say what was said, but I do know that there were at least one (but possibly two) instances of censorship in his already short messages (where the client shows !@% rather than the word you typed). My interpretation of that was that MacSed was frustrated / surprised and said something that included curse words, along the lines of 'what is this shit'. - I have collected the replays for this match, they are looked at by people from StarLadder. I also heard (but cannot yet confirm) that the Chinese are also looking into it. Once I get to the venue today I will ask around to see who is working on this, and whether MacSed is being approached or not. I do know that one of the main event organisers (great guy, fan of StarCraft), is concerned about the issue and he was one of the people to ask me to look at this topic. This is all the relevant info I can think of right now. If anyone has any specific questions let me know. I have to say though that I'm having a hard time reaching TeamLiquid.net and this topic in particular through the Great Firewall without VPN (which I can't get working on my laptop), so I don't think I'll be able to closely follow this topic. I'll try to look here on my phone throughout the day, but I may not be responding for a while. | ||
