Pdd korean lol player update#
We would like to inform and update you about the unfortunate event that occurred this morning as many of you who heard the news must be gravely concerned. Riot Games, the maker of League of Legends, provided this translated statement it posted to the game's official site in Korea on Thursday. The players refused, and Noh sold off the computers and equipment they used to practice in the home where they all stayed. Noh tried to convince them all to participate in fixing a match they should easily win, after which they would be paid and could get out of the team. Ultimately, he could no longer take it and confessed to his teammates, who confronted Noh about the allegations. Later on, according to a translation of this report, Cheon said he believed the stories Noh had told him and continued to fix matches. KeSPA said all this was a lie, apparently to get the team to fix a match without knowing the real purpose. Therefore, Noh told the team, the event sponsor required them to lose against big teams that had paid the fee. The report said Noh told the team they had to lose at the OnGameNet Champions Spring 2013 event because a fee the team's sponsor should have paid had not been covered. KeSPA said it had filed a lawsuit against Noh.
Other players on AHQ did not attempt to throw matches, though one had been asked to by Noh and refused, the investigation said.
The alleged match-fixing dates to an event in March 2013. The proceeds from the illegal bets, Cheon alleged, were to have gone toward salaries living and training expenses that, instead of being paid by a sponsor, their manager had been secretly covering with a loan.Īccording to a translation of KeSPA's findings, only Cheon and the manager of AHQ Korea, Noh Dae Chul, were engaged in any match-fixing scheme.
Testimony KeSPA took from teammates of player Cheon Min-Ki (above, second from left) support his claim that their team's manager intended to place heavy bets against their League of Legends matches, once they had acquired a strong reputation, and then direct them to throw those matches. An investigation by the Korean eSports Association, KeSPA, corroborated allegations of a match-fixing scheme, to which a top League of Legends player confessed last week before attempting suicide.
