Can someone explain the "it is illegal" phrase that people are throwing around? "Illegal" by Korean law? Or "illegal", meaning "the eSports organizations won't let you participate in their leagues if you boost"? If it is the second one, the phrasing really needs to be changed. If he has not or cannot have legal charges brought against him, illegal is not the term. We can't confuse "being a convicted criminal" with "being a person with poor morals", they just aren't the same thing. If it truly is illegal and needs to be stopped, call the police, not the Overwatch League.

I don't think the story about the ping from Burma and being an honest player has relevance here. I'm sure there are a lot of honest college basketball players out there, just because they are honest and nice does not mean they are more deserving of being a professional player. Someone could be a total asshole and a former criminal and still be the #1 draft pick, that's just how it is. I haven't seen Sado play, but there has to be some reason he was chosen over others, maybe he is that good.

He ruined people's games on ladder, but games are ruined every day for various reasons by non-boosters (smurfs, throwers, account sharers, etc.). He didn't boost someone onto a pro team, he didn't do match fixing in a tournament. He made money playing Overwatch in a questionable way. There has been some questionable behavior out of other players in OWL (including ruining games for people, abusing reporting, etc.), they did not receive any disciplinary action as far as I know.
