SlayerS_Coca and GhostKingPrime (ex ZenexByun) will suffer consequences due to fixing a match between themselves at the ESV Korean Weekly. Both players will not be competing in any current or future tournaments until their teams consider otherwise.

A translation post on TL.net tells the story of Coca and Byun who decided, midway through their second game at the ESV Korean Weekly, to actually reveal their swindle in game chat. Coca had won the first match and was obviously winning the second as well being on six base to Byun's one when the terran asked Coca to surrender. The source also provides an English transcript of the chat, which went like that:

Byun: fuck fuck
Coca: Trap card!
Byun: I got dominated fuck
Coca: You have to put down a planetary. I have 3 expansions.
Byun: No it's not that. Mutas
Byun: Leave fuck fuck fuck
Coca: I surrender
Byun: Let's go to a third game
Coca: ok. gg
*Coca leaves game*

Following the incident, Coca has forfeited his Code S spot and has been removed out of the SlayerS A team, will live and train outside the SlayerS house and won't participate in any tournaments until the team finds him having mended his pro-player mentality. The latter goes for Byun as well, although he will remain to live and train in the Prime team house. Both players are banned from participating in Korean Weeklies until January 1st 2012.

GomTV has also taken the initiative to investigate the matter and will release an official statement shortly.
