Kespa permanently bans all players who were involved with the Match Fixing Scandal.
Players who were involved with match rigging and/or participated in bets themselves will all be banned from the progaming scene permanently.
Also, players who were involved with the Match Fixing will have all their prize and reward (aka Player of the Year Reward, Proleague Player Reward, Weekly/Monthly MVP Reward) all removed.
We also have 11 Players, not 9 who participated in Match Fixing/Illegal Betting

Sad, but had to happen.
Also amusing that there were no Protoss involved in the end. |

| "Prize removed"... does that also mean they will take back the money? |

Does it really matter ? I mean, most of them are going to do something else with their life or turn to Starcraft II. Starcraft Brood War won't last for another 10 years. The only shame is that they lose their awards. As far as I've understood it, this Kespa corporation won't have anything to do with Starcraft II, if so, it's all for the best. |

| Hopefully we can put this whole thing behind us now. That was a serious blow to the integrity of eSports, and I'd like it if we could just push it under the rug and just be able to say "Ma Jae who? I don't know who that is." |

noone expects protoss players to win, so everyone bets against them anyway. No point in bribing them  |

| Wow, go.go and Hwasin are the ones that impact me the most as they are current gamers. I wonder if anything will be said about go.go on Old Boy. |

| I support this. Must set a tough example to prevent match-fixing from ever happening again. I won't miss any of these players (maybe except for Savior, but he's way beyond slumping now compared to his prime). |

Are Savior's Starleague titles gone?
I would have rather had them 'asterisked' so people can remember and learn from this rather than completely get erased. |

That's quite the bunch of progamers if you see them written out in a list...
I was sort of expecting a permanent ban like this. Although 3 year ban would've probably had pretty much the same effect as this.

Pretty disappointing... Hwasin, Up... I've come to terms with Savior cheating but that many big-names. Bleh.
Curious there's no protoss though. Not making any statements just with 11 you'd think there'd be at least one >_> |
