KeSPA has permanently banned the players involved with the match fixing scandal. This includes the likes of sAviOr, Luxury, YellOw[ArnC] and Hwasin.FOMOS (via TeamLiquid) is reporting that the Korean e-Sports Players Association (KeSPA) has permanently banned all players involved in the match fixing scandal. All awards given to those players (such as Player of the Year Reward, Proleague Player Reward, Weekly/Monthly MVP Reward) will be removed also.
As well as a number of well known professionals the list now includes two new additions in the form of SPARKYZ's By.1st and OZ's ShinHwA, who had previously not been mentioned in connection with the scandal in reports.
Banned players:
(T) Chang Hee 'go.go' Kim - Hite SPARKYZ
(T) Kim 'DarkElf' Sung Ki - Air Force ACE (formerly with CJ Entus)
(Z) Jae Yoon 'sAviOr' Ma - CJ Entus
(Z) Sung Jin 'type-b' Moon - Hite SPARKYZ
(Z) Myung Soo 'YellOw[ArnC]' Park - Hite SPARKYZ
(Z) Chan Soo 'Luxury' Park - KT Rolster
(T) Hee Seung 'UpMagiC' Shin - eSTRO
(T) Jong Seo 'Justin' Won - Hite SPARKYZ
(T) Jin 'Hwasin' Yung Soo - STX SouL
(T) By.1st - Hite SPARKYZ
(Z) Ka Ram 'ShinHwA' Choi - Hwaseung Oz
The most disappointing name for fans by far is that of sAviOr's. He is considered one of the very best of all time, the only Zerg bonjwa, and has a golden badge (signifying three MSL titles) as well as an OSL title. His dominance during his prime was such that he reached five MSL finals in a row before being knocked from his throne.
YellOw[ArnC] (not to be confused with old school Zerg legend YellOw) finished runnerup at the 2009 Bacchus OSL which saw Jaedong gaining his golden mouse. His twin brother Luxury won the WCG gold in 2008 and the 2009 Lost Saga MSL. From 2006 onwards Hwasin 'the red sniper' never failed to qualify for the Ro16 in the MSL, with 10 consecutive appearances.
type-b made it to the semi-final of the 2009 Bacchus OSL while go.go made it to the Ro8. UpMaGiC managed to finish 3rd at the 2007 EVER OSL. Justin made an appearance in the Group of 8 of the GOMTV season 1 MSL.
The team most disasterously hit by the scandal and these bannings is Hite SPARKYZ who have lost five of their players. An interesting side note is that no Protoss player was implicated in the scandal.

go.go, Hwasin, DarkELf, SaviOr, LUXURY? Wth....
Why the heck they needed to do so when they had career behind their back?
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Still, a huge dissapointment
^_^
well I think those banned guys if they want could play sc2 all time they want anyway when it comes out. So whatever. Taking off rewards is pretty harsh I think. Yeah they did bad it doesnt mean they won previous rewards unfair otr do not deserve the titles of previous years they fought for real.
