Valve suspends 19 more CS:GO players for match fixing

Valve's ongoing investigation into pro-level Counter-Strike: Global Offensive match fixing has resulted in the suspension of another 19 players from its sponsored events. The ban means that three teams—Epsilon eSports, the former ESC Gaming, and WinneR—will not be eligible to compete in the offline qualifier for the upcoming ESL One Katowice 2015.
 

ESL One has scheduled a "last-chance tournament" for February 8 to determine the teams that will replace Epsilon eSports and ESC Gaming, while LGB eSports and 3DMAX will take WinneR's position. The league noted that those two teams had been slated to play a third-place match in the second European qualifier, but that will no longer be necessary as both teams will now advance.
 

14 of the players determined to be involved in match fixing have been given indefinite suspensions that won't be reviewed prior to 2016:
 

  • Kevin “Uzzziii” Vernel
  • Joey “fxy0” Schlosser
  • Robin “GMX” Stahmer
  • Morgan “B1GGY” Madour
  • Damian “DiAMon” Zarski
  • Michal “bCK” Lis
  • Jakub “kub” Pamula
  • Mateusz “matty” Kolodziejczyk
  • Michal “michi” Majkowski
  • Karol “rallen” Rodowicz
  • Mikolaj “mouz” Karolewski
  • Grzegorz “SZPERO” Dziamalek
  • Pawel “innocent” Mocek
  • Jacek “minise” Jeziak
     

Another five have been declared ineligible for ESL One Katowice while the investigation continues:

  • Robin “r0bs3n” Stephan
  • Tahsin “tahsiN” Sarikaya
  • Koray “xall” Yaman
  • Ammar “am0” Cakmak
  • Antonin “TONI” Bernhardt

Valve again said that professional CS:GO players and teams "should under no circumstances gamble on CS:GO matches" or associate with those who do, a position echoed by the ESL. "At ESL, we want to underline the fact that unsportsmanlike behavior, such as match fixing, will not be tolerated, and therefore the banned players will not be allowed to take part in any ESL CS:GO tournaments until these cases are reviewed by Valve," it said in a statement.

The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament at ESL One Katowice 2015 runs from March 12-15, and features a $250,000 prize pool.

Oh please. People don't watch the super bowl just because they bet on it. CS:GO is a very entertaining game to watch, regardless of bets.

Ya know, when a certain tournament asked for the betting to be taken down for them, the viewership plummeted so much that they had to re add the match in order to get more views.

*plot twist* anyone who kills you in any FPS game is hacking/cheating/fixing in some way.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

It's the only reason I watched it, and made $2000 on it.

Maybe lower tiers. But for the games that most people watch, NiP verse VP, etc, where are all the cheaters?

Valve will look at what the rest of the world does like say in the NFL where the CHEATRIOTS reign supreme and give these guys a slap on the wrist.  One year ban will be the max.  and they will be back playing.  It is a total joke.  The world is crap.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

The ESC players that were banned have since been unbanned, there was no evidence they were involved. Nice job Volvo for almost ruining 5 peoples lives for no reason.

Volvo? 

 

Valve did nothing wrong here, if the players were suspected of cheating a ban makes sense, when they found there was nothing implicating them they lifted the ban, its the only reasonable thing they can do.

Yeah, you and 12 other people think so. While the thousands if better don't watch matches.

Irish in Vancouver, what's new?

Why doesn't valve just fix the matches themselves instead of letting other players deal with these broken matches.

 

How would Valve match fixing solve this problem? It would only make it far less credible. CSGO would become the equivalent of WWE. :D
