Additionally, YoDa was fined 30 million Korean Won (KRW), which is approximately $26,000 USD. Gerrard was fined 10 million won, while BBoongBBoong was fined 5 million won. The other brokers and financial backers involved received sentences between 10 and 18 months, also suspended.



Judge Seo Dong-chil, who passed down the sentencing, said "Lowering the credibility of esports and damaging its foundations should be punished severely. However, [the convicted] did not participate in match-fixing previously, and the actual amount of profit they gained was not large. Taking this into account, I suspend their sentences." Yonhap News ( link ) reported that sentencing was passed down on Gerrard, YoDa, BBoongBBoong and others involved in the PRIME match-fixing scandal Gerrard, YoDa, and BBoongBBoong were sentenced to 18 months in prison, but had their sentences suspended for three years. Former progamer Enough who acted as a broker received a two year sentence, suspended three years. In the Korean judicial system, a suspended sentence is essentially probation that occurs before a sentence actually starts.

The force is stronk with those ones.



Regarding previous information we had, I expected Gerard to get much more than the players involved. I am a bit surprised.

I guess we will also have to wait that long for update on Life's case.

Presumably the 2nd one, as the prosecutor's report only mentioned one instance of BBoongBBoong matchfixing. Would make sense for YoDa to get a higher fine.

Well, they got 18 months of jail on 3 years of probation. If all 4 of them actually went to jail sAviOr would have gotten off the easiest.

Yes, but it's still weird that not even KESPA said anything about it (ban?). We shouldn't expect a sentence for a while, but ANY statement by ANYONE.
