ESV Weekly itself doesn't award a Code A spot, instead it grants you pass to a tournament between the month's winners and the winner of that one gets Code A. Or something like that.

Also Byun lost the following match against Creator. Hard.

Way to be a dumbass. Both of them.

It is considered match-fixing and due to last year's gigantic scandal in Brood War, they had to come down hard on Coca. Coca and Byun were close friends on ZeNex, and they were just having fun on an online tournament. They're both young and were just playing around. Coca probably thought it was no big deal, just having fun with his buddy and then it all blew up in his face.

Really sucks. I had him sixth in my Power Rank. Now he is out of the GSL entirely. Sad day.

Well, we know who the true culprit is now, don't we?

Joking aside, I still can't get over the wtfuckery of this.

Man, I feel for Coca. Since he already had a code S spot he probably wasn't taking that tournament seriously and he was just playing games for practice. He slipped up because he forgot imo and just wanted to play 3 games anyway or somethin'.

Hm, the degree of this is not as high as I had expected, I hope TL doesn't explode about this like it does with so many other things. Coca was obviously confident he could win and friendlied a 3rd game. Of course it is a tournament they could've played after... Or something...

Swearing (which was only done by byun) is worse, I'd say. I wonder what prime will do about that seeing how slayers responded.

what a blithering idiot

sure its okay to do it in ladder games or practice, but any sort of tournament, everyone has to take it seriously.

I second that.

That was one of the dumber moves I've seen.

Ok, here's the update.

Byun has been permanently banned from participating in any tournaments by team Prime. He may able to stay in the team house, but he won't be allowed to participate in anything. This is real stuff.

Hmmm, seems like they are overreacting. Shame because I like both Coca and Byun.

But oh well, afer the Savior incident its understandable how they can take this badly. I hope this gets fixed and that both players can come back

The thing is he obviously didn't think it was wrong at the time, its not like he was directly breaking the rules. Hell, who knows, maybe he wasn't even planning for the match to be an official match if he lost.

VOD with wtf moment: http://www.twitch.tv/esvision/b/300029464?t=55m00s

Mr Chae's official statement:
Hello this is Mr Chae.

ESV TV is a foreign tournament that formed a partnership with the GSL and awarded players with GSL Nov. Code A seeds. However a partnership has not been confirmed for the GSL's first season of Code A in 2012, and we are still negotiating with ESV TV at the moment (this is because we are gathering feedback from all the teams on the GSL format during this Nov. season so any changes in format for 2012 may not accommodate a partnership).

However, even if it is a tournament that does not award GSL Code A seeds, the use of profanities in a broadcast with many viewers and a blatant disregard for competition cannot be ignored by the GSL.

We are unable to make a decision on the punishment yet based on only screenshots and the community. Therefore, we will be asking Prime and SlayerS about the situation and what further action should be taken.

The consequences that the players will need to face will be announced as soon as possible after the situation has been assessed.

Thank you.

Yeah I don't understand your logic, swearing is worse than match fixing? I respectfully disagree.
