disappointing attitude :(
Apparently MorroW and SjoW have been caught planning to cheat in the upcoming IOL tournament. SjoW was supposed to lose the final so that Morrow could the get first place prize (a very nice computer). It will be interesting to see what Dignitas and mouz will make of this.

"Stars Plan Fixed Games"
Two Swedish star players contracted by mouz and dignitas settle on match fixing.
Two of our greatest SC2-stars, the reigning Intel Extreme Masters champion Stefan "MorroW" Andersson (in German Mouseports) and Inferno Online Launch Party-champion Jeffery "SjoW" Brusi from British Team Dignitas are settling on results before matches have even been played.
It was all uncovered when hot headed Terran/Zerg-player MorroW was streaming while playing, at the same time chatting with SjoW about making sure they'd play the future IOS Christmas Tournament in a manner that would ensure one of them would win. The two "rivals" talked about rigging the tournament, so that the player they wanted to advance would advance, as well as in the case of both reaching the finals "throwing the match" and sharing the prize money.
Morrow PM to Sjow:
*In case I'm streaming, they say can read it but it's hard.
*Anyhow, everything's ok then I hope
*We can play the finals
*But only if we reward the win to whom we want
SjoW about it on the swedish IRC-channel #swe.sc2:
*We are going to cooperate on IO
*Me n' MorroW
*And these faggots start to whine about it
As if this wasn't enough, Rakaka have received reports that one of the admins of Inferno Online's SC2-tournament, the well known Swedish SC2-commentator and tournament admin Marcel "Maven" Mattsson, has given his "approval" for the planed throwaway game. Rakaka found Maven through the chat in WoW, where he commented on what had transpired:
"* yea, i've talked to them
* well you can't really do anything [about it]
* Won't ban them either"
Rakaka.se has discussed what has happened with Dignitas manager ODEEE, who declined to give a comment before he had the chance to talk to his player.
Translator's summary and explanation (watching the stream and IRC discussion unfold personally): Swedish internet café holds 18 nightly events during the winter holidays. The prize payouts increase in an 11-step scale the more of the tournaments one single player wins, with the 11th win awarding a computer worth $6000.
Morrow thinks his stream quality is too bad for anyone to be able to read, he assures SjoW of this when SjoW asks him "Are you streaming?". Both of them then scheme and agree on working together to take advantage of the prize payout structure. If both of them compete, there's less of a chance any of them wins anything of real worth, so they agree that one of them (SjoW), will throwaway games if they both reach the finals. Or that they ensure that the "right" players reach the finals.
SjoW later discussed it in an open manner in the swedish IRC-channel #swe.sc2 (alof of people saw the conversation on Morrow's stream), not thinking it was a big deal at all.
Added SjoW's responses:

Lets make this clear. We both wanted to participate on this league and if both would participate on this tournament it would decrease our chances of winning the grandprize (a computer).
The league consists of 18 tournaments and is played once a day. For every first place you get a prize and climb one step closer to the grandprize. You ultimatly need to win 11 tournament to get the grandprize and when there is only 18 tournaments, only one can get the grandprize.
So we both agreed it would be better if we split the prizes and just let one of us win everyone. (we assumed we would go to the finals everytime since we would be in diffrent part of brackets because of seeds, we didnt see any harm in it.
We talked with the organisation and they didnt allow us to do fixed matches. Now only one of us gonna play.

I agree its wrong on a big tournament because it lets down the audiance. By not showing a good game or not a game at all. But in this case theres no audiance at all.

Theres only one prize on each tournament and read what I typed... We expected to be in finals every single one we participated in...
Update:
In a later article, rakaka got in touch with Inferno Online's owner Anton "Budak" Budak, who had the following to say: "No throwaway games, the slightest suspicion and they'll be banned for life". He added: "I decide, and nothing unsportsmanlike is allowed
