Koreanske politifolk har arresteret en række prominente StarCraft II-spillere og deres træner, og den koreanske eSports-forening, KeSPA, har uddelt livstidforvisninger.
Ifølge rapporter der er sammenlagt af TeamLiquid har en række af spillerne været involveret i en matchfixing-skandale i op til fem professionelle kampe tidligere på året.
Undersøgelserne foregår lige nu, men KeSPA har udsendt en officiel pressemeddelelse omkring anholdelserne:
"Since 2010, the association has worked alongside the rest of the industry to fight against the illegal betting that has continued to threaten the foundation of e-Sports. It is extremely regrettable that a related incident has occurred again, and we apologize to all of the fans who have shown e-Sports their love and support."
"Going forward, the association's stance toward illegal betting will continue to be one of zero-compromise, and we will continue to respond strongly to create a healthy e-Sports culture."
