The amount gamblers can bribe the players can always outscale whatever prize pool you set up. Having a larger prize pool might reduce the temptation for the "poorer" players, but wouldn't be a solution for the problem. | ||

I remember watching life games and just getting so hyped to play the game. He was a big reason I switched to Zerg. What a shame that the scene can come to a few bad people bribing these young kids. Sad day for Starcraft 2 | ||

He was most likely involved in the games Life threw, meaning he was guilty of them before he was caught with the Prime stuff. It's not like he got arrested then got out and match fixed again (I wouldn't think) | ||

I heard he was having eye surgery, and that was the reason for his recent absence, but I really don't know. | ||

If you are talking about operations like Lasik or whatever, they are "super cheap" (compared to, lets say where I live) in Korea. You wouldn't need 30,000,000 Won just for that. | ||

It doesn't really change anything while allowing a player to get a nice side income. normally nobody would bat an eye because he won the series, but if you're talking about Mr.E here then he decided to turn himself in. guilt isn't really known for driving rational decisions. | ||
