Drakylon - they decided who would win prior to the match - it's not about their strategy during the game or what they are doing with the money afterwards, it's about respect for the game, the sport, the other teams, and the fans.

By definition, it's impossible for both teams agree to "throw the match," as someone still has to win. There was no agreement for one team or the other to win.

I can't believe Curse and Dig lawyers aren't rabidly going after Riot and MLG over this.

If that is true, I honestly agree with you.

Yeah, no, I call bull**** on them agreeing to fix the finals, RedBeard. I would love to see some sort of evidence on yours or MLG's side to support such a claim.

Adam Apicella ‏@MrMLGAdam The collusion was planned and discussed in a public, crowded setting. The entire venue was aware of it.
col·lu·sion/kəˈlo͞oZHən/
Noun:
Secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, esp. in order to cheat or deceive others.

So since when is a crowded public decision that an entire venue is aware of a "secret conspiracy to deceive".

Seems like an oxymoron to me. You can hardly be accused of collusion when you are publicly making statements an entire venue can hear.
