Counter-Strike Match Fixing Accusations

The Daily Dot presents the case that a professional Counter-Strike match last summer was fixed, as elite American team iBUYPOWER lost what "should have been an easy match" against NetcodeGuides.com. They say that for some reason this was revealed in advance by one of the participants to "a young esports journalist," who shared screengrabs of the conversation, but they are only reporting this information now after receiving "new corroborating details from multiple sources that strongly indicate the game was fixed." There are statements from various parties involved in the scene, and the site says that they have verified that incriminating bets were placed on the match on behalf of participants, as apparently betting on eSports is actually a thing, in spite of the obvious potential for stories like this one. Thanks MCV.
