Any takers?

Apparently, there's a big scandal over in Korea regarding illegal bets on Starcraft.

Several big names over there have been accused of throwing games for monetary benefits, as well as leaking replay files of their games to a series of illegal gambling groups.

Yeah, it undermines the legitimacy of pro gaming as a viable occupation, but I also feel as if it legitimizes it a bit; People gamble on everything, why wouldn't they gamble on something so culturally near-and-dear as StarCraft on Korea?

In other news, I've been watching this video from Muscle, Milk, and Moolians, one of the pro-level TF2 gaming groups out there in North America. It's a pretty solid frag video.
