What happened
In ESV Korean Weekly, one of the rounds(Ro32) was Byun(GhostKingPrime) vs SlayersCoca. Coca was 1 game up 1-0 and was winning the 2nd game. 150 supply to 50 ( 6 base to 1). Byun asked Coca to leave the game so that it will get to a game 3 and coca gladly obliged. In the end Byun won 2-1. The conversation was in game and can be found in the TL Thread.

Byun: No it's not that. Mutas
Byun: Leave **** **** ****
Coca: I surrender
Byun: Let's go to a third game
Coca: ok. gg
*Coca leaves game*

Punishment for Coca
Following the Coca vs Byun controversy at the latest ESV Korean Weekly, SlayersCoca decided to forfeit his spot in GSL code S. Furthermore, he no longer is part of Slayers A team and will practice out of the Slayers house.

Gayeon AKA Jessica and Boxer apologised profusely about the incident.

Coca won't participate in any tournament, offline or online, until Slayers team decides his "mentality" as a pro is ready for it.

Punishment for Byun
The other player involved in this case, GhostKingPrime AKA Byun, also won't be allowed to participate in future tournaments until the team deems ready. He will still practice at the team house though.


I started this thread to know what are your opinions about this issue?
Some questions

• Is this considered Matchfixing?
• Do you think the punishment is too harsh or too lenient? Why?
• If you think it is too harsh or too lenient, suggest a punishment.

+ [My Own Personal Opinion] +

• I dont this is considered matchfixing as there is literally nothing at stake(Ro32)
• I think the punishment is way too harsh. DQ from GSL and demoted to B team and sent home? Byun cant play in any tournament?
• A good punishment i think would be just an formal apology from both players and banned from travelling to other tournaments(overseas) for half a year. Banned from ESV weekly for half a year. Banned from GSTL for half a year. Something that would not affect his individual league.

Note: In this particular tournament, a Code A spot was NOT awarded. The prizes were $100, $50, $25, $25 for 1st,2nd, 3rd-4th respectively. (I believe it is in USD).
