Mod Edit

Nothing has been confirmed, except that Reality and Turn were caught playing for amateur players in an amateur tournament. Connections to betting sites, payment, etc have not been confirmed.


Original post:

Basically, Reality and Turn were caught subsituting amateur players in the BnW(hosted by Brain Clan) final. However, it was found that there was a betting company behind the whole situation, and the money involved was more than ten million Korean Woon. Reality and Turn already admited that crime. Samsung Khan had checked player's bank account, and there was no strange transactions. However, Brain Clan said that they had evidence of the underground exchange and they hinted that this was not the first time. The whole situation is stil under investigation, but as a BW fan I am greatly disappointed.

Speculation from 1a2a3a:
On October 25 2011 04:55 supernovamaniac wrote:
then again, 1a2a3a had a funny history with GanziTerran (fish 2000 ladder until it was sold to the alledged "broker")

I was going to write up a translation of wtf happened, but I did not for the sake of spreading false rumors.

Some background (as far as I heard from 1a2a3a):
GanziTerran and 1a2a3a weren't very close; infact 1a2a3a hated GanziTerran. 1a2a3a thought that Ganzi was Reality so he goes onto West, Reality says: If I'm Ganzi I'm going to quit Progaming.

But later Ganzi and 1a2a3a became close after doing some 2v2s. Ganzi joins team NeOx (Scan's current Korean clan, along with 1a2a3a). In their match against some other team, Ganzi plays amazingly well but then loses the match, apologizes to the team, and tries to leave. HOWEVER, the backstory was that Ganzi had a request from the opposing team join the clan after the clanwar. So seems like Ganzi lost on purpose in order to quit NeOx, few negotiations behind the scene, and Ganzi stays on NeOx.

Then again, Ganzi just shows up and disappears in the scene few times. There were some events in the middle (which lead to Reality and TurN confirming something for GanziTerran) which lead to BrainSlayeR (admin of BrainClan) to suspect something wrong here. Nonetheless, in Brain ClanWar finals, NeOx sends out GanziTerran thinking that its TurN. TURNS OUT, GanziTerran at the time was used by a SKT T1 B-Team player, so clan NeOx gets DQ'd and loses their championship (this happened week ago). After finding this out, 1a2a3a flips out, BrainSlayeR gives his 'evidence' of the "SO CALLED MATCH FIXING/PLAYING UNDER SOMEONE ELSE'S ACCOUNT FOR MONEY" to 1a2a3a, 1a2a3a makes it public.

Problem got out of hand as 1a2a3a just started bashing Khan and those two players who were involved; don't quite remember where the 'broker' for match fixing came into play, but I've read somewhere that current owner of the ID of GanziTerran is related to some match fixing website (they said that Ganzi said himself (whoever he is) on bnet, haven't seen the evidence yet).

[below KIM GA EUL section is what I read on pgr21, not by 1a2a3a]
Kim Ga Eul shows up on pgr21 saying that they aren't aware of any 'scandal' at the moment and said that they've confirmed themselves that there weren't any problems with the two players (after Khan's coach talked with Reality and TurN). (However, I couldn't verify that it was actual Kim Ga Eul, need to do some IP checking)

Day later, 1a2a3a says that the players have been punished, but we don't know on what basis or for what reason.

Sums up the situation so far.


(I'll edit/post more detailed version later, as I have to read again to make sure I got the stuff down right)

[again from 1a2a3a]
GanziTerran: 2000 Fish player. Seems like Reality had the ID for a long time, when a person known for smurfing comes up and says that he wants to buy the ID from GanziTerran for a high price. "Reality" (if he was the original owner). The person who bought the ID then paid few progamers and made them use the ID GanziTerran in order to hide that a non-progamer owned the ID. Then, when GanziTerran was being used by a SKT T1 B-Team gamer in the finals of BrainClanWars final, BrainClan caught them in action


Disclaimer: RUMORS ARE RUMORS. UNLESS THERE'S OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BY TEAMS AND/OR OTHER VISIBLE SIGNS THAT WE CAN 100% VERIFY, THE 'SCANDAL' ITSELF IS A RUMOR.

Aww crap. Last time this happened broodwar took a heavy blow. At least this incident had a much smaller scope, but it's still it's bad. Hopefully most fans don't lose hope.

Wtf...you gotta be shitting me.

Reality is a solid rookie, he just needs time.

And Turn has plenty of potential as well. His aggression is top of the line.

Dammit all. Source?
Confirmed?

I know, bloody hell when I saw the title I double face palmed. But let's just see where this goes, it's still being investigated. Dammit Turn and Reality, why...

I really like turn as well :/
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

For the love of god i really hope this is just a bullshit rumour. I can't believe their stupidity if they really pulled this sort of shit off. Even if its an amateur tournament there is no excuse or reason to be cheating in any shape or form.

Goddammit i hope its false.

Noooooooooooooo, Khan ;____;

Why can't people just learn lessons from other peoples' fuck ups? Do they WANT to end up like savior or the others that were banned? ugh.

EDIT:

Took a peek around fomos to see if there would be any articles on this, but nothing so far. But apparently Hiya's dad just passed away... T___T lots of sad news all around.

Oh fuck no. I really hope this isn't the case!
This seems to be purely based on accusations by brainclan, so I'm not gonna rage quite yet.

Heh, I'd agree that its unfortunate, but it isn't killing E-Sports, I mean any competitive scene has abusers and what not, they just cause a lot of commotion but don't really kill the sport, kind of like steroids in real sports.
