Both Jim's and Firefly's legal names are on the transaction records Jim posted on scboy.cc. | ||

Whether officially related to ESIC or not, I cannot imagine any professional tournament organizer permitting participation of a player convicted of matchfixing on multiple counts. | ||

I don't think it's completely unreasonable to assume one of the following scenarios: 1. Jim felt guilty, grew a conscience and wanted a clean slate, whatever that entails (seems very unlikely to me, but who knows) 2. Jim and Firefly had some kind of falling-out, which resulted in Jim receiving the short end of the stick and therefore acted in retaliation 3. Some third non-disclosed party has additional dirt on Jim and pressured him into confessing, in this case we might not have the full picture, yet | ||

That seems rather folly Jim is a gambler and lost all his money in gambling and have debt to be paid. He feels Firefly should owe him 10k CNY in one of their previous cooperation of match-fixing, but Firefly refused to give him the money. It is his last effort to try to get some money, or he would make Firedly also doomed before Jim is doomed himself. | ||

Jim is still referred to as Jinhui "Jim" Cao, and Mr. Jinhui, rather than Cao "Jim" Jinhui and Mr. Cao. Are naming conventions in East Asia really that incomprehensible to Westerners? Anyway, Liquipedia got these names right. They didn't even bother to check the site. Sigh. | ||

Yes, in Chinese last name goes first before first name. Backward from western convention. Edit: I see....... they are just not serious xD | ||

Edit: I see....... they are just not serious xD Most Chinese and Koreans (except those in the overseas community) prefer to put their family names before given names, even in an English context. Unless in academic conferences or journals, because each conference or journal has its own format for names. To avoid ambiguity, for Asian people it's better to use "family name" and "given name" instead of "last name" and "first name". | ||

I think this is the saddest of all SC2 stories, much worse than this one. It happened to the biggest Star at the worst possible time, right as the scene started to struggle to find sponsors. Afaik, it has even been a taboo to talk about it here, but it has been a while, so maybe it ok now? | ||
