Just some of the samples of the Korean responses from DC inside. The place is going at about 10 posts a second so this is a very rough sample.
http://gall.dcinside.com/list.php?id=starcraft
'You know, it's too late to go back, so why don't we just do what WWE does? A player can jump out of his booth after the game and hit the other guy with a chair or something.'
'And we'll never get to see him win if this is over... (a photo of yellow)'
'I bet Blizzard is behind the scandal. Cui Bono?'
'You know, losing intentionally like Savior did isn't so bad. What's worse is the coaches who bought the stolen replays and used it to devise a winning strategy. They oughtta be hanged.'
'Hey, aren't you guys supposed to be worried? You guys seem to enjoy this wayyy too much.'
Someone responds 'No, the scandal is wayyy over the top we can't really take this seriously anymore. lol'
'I'm pretty sure Savior needs all the money to buy himself expensive clothing every season.' (He's often seen with expensive watches and clothes that cost thousands of dollars)
'Hey can you guys tell me the suspected games Savior lost intentionally?'
Someone responds 'Yeah, just off top of my head there are few games Savior lost because he didn't get Adrenaline upgrade although he had a Hive.'
'I know who didn't rig his matches - Boxer. He's been here 10 years and I doubt he would've let that happen to himself. That guy loves the scene. It's his baby, and I very much doubt he's involved in any way.'
Someone responds 'And Reach. He's just too straight to do such thing.' (Everyone below agrees)
'Why is everyone implicating Savior before any solid evidence has been brought forth?'
Responds are 'Two evidence - being removed from captain and not attending behavior education course.' 'You gotta suspect something if they don't attend behavior education and gets wiped off the roster.' 'A gambling site admin mentioned his name in the past.'
'3 Bunker rush, beating a blind guy, and crying after beating oov... For all his faults, I think Boxer is the purest of purest gamers. We gotta hold the offenders responsible and put them in jail. It just makes me feel dumb to think I laughed and cried with the wins and losses of the league. '
'Hey you know what's funny? The special interview between boxer and savior. Just to think boxer suggested savior to create pro-gamer union for betterment of pro-gamer treatment... I think boxer would be ashamed he ever said that. Talk about telling a crook to be a police.
'I almost wish 3.3 was rigged. That means Savior is actually good!'
'You know who's smart? Elky. He's rich AND gambles legally.'
'SC scene is done for, and it'll go the way of WC3 scene in Korea. Remember how it just took one edited map to take down the whole league?'
One more
'This is all because the SC league scene is still relatively thin. Other games such as Baseball, Basketball and Soccer doesn't suffer from same problem although they have their illegal betting sites. The players and the coaches have a means to sustain their livelihood through the sports they're involved in even after they retire, but for SC players, they have at most 3~4 years (as opposed to 10+ years for other actual sports). Of course they'll be anxious about their future, combined with young naive players with no strong moral fiber is a recipe for corruption. I'm pretty sure these young players don't even know they've become a part of the ring.
It just goes to show what an irony E-sports is.'

WC3 league edited a map against Moon so he'd lose sometime.
But Moon still won anyways, and the edits were found out eventually.

Several maps were edited and some very popular gamers won games that seemed impossible whiched helped the league increase in popularity.

Ma Bonjwa, tsk tsk...
Some of the comments are hilarious though, glad to know Korean netizens haven't lost their sense of humor.

Thats pretty insightful. I'd expect general consensus to eventually come to this, I think its close to it already here at tl.

They made a map be much more favorable to the race of the first place guy so he would win again. When they found out Wc3 pretty much died in korea
