Following the Korean betting scandal, Yum Bo "Sea[Shield]" Sung is one of the first progamers to utter words about the issue.- There are countless other progamers who have worked hard and are still putting in a lot of effort, so I hope they continue to watch over us, said Sea.
The illegal gambling issue is all over the Korean press. Fans believe this might be the killing blow for the professional StarCraft: Brood War scene. Many of the top players as sAviOr, Stork and the twins Luxury and Yellow[ArnC] are under investigation.
The MBCGame HERO star Sea[Shield], who was seen defeating hyvaa and Really from eSTRO in the latest ShinHan Bank Proleague match, gave a statement about the match betting scandal to DailyGame.co.kr.
- "Something nasty has happened recently. It's just a rumor, but many progamers whom I believe won't commit such crimes are being named. I am disappointed that so many people are blinded by prejudice; that they are ignoring all the hard work the older progamers have put into making eSports what it is today and is bashing upon eSports as a whole, just because of a handful of people,
There are countless other progamers who have worked hard and are still putting in a lot of effort, so I hope they continue to watch over us. And I strongly appeal to everyone to continue their support and interest in eSports," said Sea.
