they say a man never really knows himself... until his freedom's been taken away
it'll be interesting to see if the guy(s) running this scheme are brutally violent the way the word gangster implies. a large percentage of the actors in sports match fixing schemes are 100% non violent.

Im guessing this is why everyone like Creator left Prime.

Ugh this is sad. It explains why YoDa went from a TvT sniper in round 1 to a total loss in the next three. I really hope this is a turning point rather than the tip of the iceberg.

im pissed that i stayed up based on what wolf was staying lol
e: just started listening to Wolf's twitch 'chat' with everyone. looks like there might be more and not everyone has been arrested.

I think the effort and time and risk that goes into match fixing is huge and the ones who were caught now are probably just the tip of the iceberg who weren careful enough. I cant believe Gerrard and his brokers thought to themselves: "hey we can make a few thousand bucks by risking the freedom of 12 people, ourselves included". the amount of money and people involved is most likely a lot bigger and what we see here are just the ones who the investigators were able to catch...

Thanks a lot for the translation work Wax. I must say that this is by far the most comprehensive report yet from the Korean authorities and it's actually pretty heartening. It's clear that this investigation took a very long time, full of planning and research and slow execution, but in the end they apparently got this entire network right up to the backer.

I knew people would have to be paid to lose to flash eventually.

Still not a single Protoss has been charged in the world of Starcraft. Are they too proud or too sneaky?
