(Original, Korean post on PGR21.com)



I haven't lived with Gerrard or talked to him a lot, so I won't say anything about him.



But YoDa, he was one of my gamer colleagues who I felt closest to, so I'm writing this.



I am in no way defending him. I'm just writing my feelings on this incident.



I first met YoDa when I moved into the IM team house.



I thought he was just an ordinary guy who liked games, so I treated him well like I do with all of the younger players, and we slowly grew more friendly.



After I left the IM team house, YoDa and First also left.



YoDa said he couldn't continue being a gamer from his own home, so he asked me if he could live with me.



Well, living by myself was lonely for me, so I brought him in, fed him and gave him a place to sleep, and we lived together for a year that way.



Then, a good opportunity came up in Germany, so I took those two and headed to the house in Germany, and we lived there for yet another year. Our friendship grew deeper and we had a lot of good memories.



We split up when we returned to Korea this year. I ended up deciding to retire, and I wished them luck going forward.



So I went to YoDa's games to cheer him on...



I still remember, when he first became suspected of fixing matches.



Him telling me it wasn't true, that it wasn't fair, with tears in his eyes.



So I didn't believe it was true.



Think about it. A kid you've lived with for 3 years, someone who might as well be your actual brother, crying and saying it's unjust. Who wouldn't believe him?



After that, before the news stories came out, I heard from colleagues around me that he had been taken to the police station.



I tried in every possible way to contact YoDa, but I wasn't able to contact him, nor his family.



Mmmm.... I guess the last time I saw him in my life was at a gathering with the people who lived together in Germany.



Well, I believed him until the very end. What hurts most is that he betrayed and deceived his fellow gamers, and me, who thought of him as a younger brother.



If it was some other crime, some accident, I would have tried to protect him.



But for a progamer to lose on purpose in a match,



That's the most shameful thing in the world.



I want to say something to the people who arrange the match-fixing, the people who are thinking about it.



A true gamer makes his money by winning.



As a gamer, I've never had the slightest thought of losing on purpose.



I'm not even a progamer now, just someone who streams on the internet. But as someone who was once friends with YoDa and was active as a StarCraft 2 progamer,



On their behalf, I want to offer my deepest apologies to fans of esports and fans of StarCraft 2 who were hurt by this.
