Report claims entire CSGO tournament created just to fix matches RundskrivYouTuber Jake Lucky\u2019s channel Esports Talk has investigated suggestions that an ongoing online CSGO tournament may have been \u201cput on just for the fix.\u201d The event in question is the LEGENDS.BET L33T CUP, an ongoing online minor CSGO tournament with a prize pool of $20,000. Strange matches, unknown teams being invited, and suspicious sponsors of the competition all seem to suggest that there\u2019s something not right, Esports Talk asserted in the video. Lucky\u2019s first piece of evidence was a match between Na\u2019Vi\u2019s academy side and a Bulgarian team called the Skin Ogres on January 30. Na\u2019Vi Jr. were the favorites against the unknown Skin Ogres squad and took the first round as everyone expected. But in the second round, the Skin Ogres came out on top and beat Na\u2019Vi Jr. after a 1m Ruble ($15,000) bet was apparently placed on them for the second round, and only the second round. \u201cSkin Ogres suspiciously take Map 2, then we go to Map 3 where Na\u2019Vi dominate yet again,\u201d the YouTuber explained. \u201cWhen it comes time for in-game gameplay, it seems like Skin Ogres didn\u2019t want to win, Na\u2019Vi Academy take your series, but you have a suspicious bet placed on Map 2 where the underdogs take it in very, very weird fashion.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Innvandrer_\/status\/1222919320617046016 The \u201csuperior\u201d evidence for Lucky\u2019s theory, as he put it, involved some of the teams and even tournament sponsors at the L33T CUP. A lot of the teams invited were your standard minor CSGO tournament fare \u2013 the Copenhagen Flames, Na\u2019Vi\u2019s academy side, HellRaisers, and others. But two of the invited teams \u2013 Skin Ogres and Axis \u2013 set off alarm bells for Lucky. \u201cHow did Team Axis, without even a team profile picture, and a team known as the \u2018Skin Ogres\u2019 get placed in the event, right?\u201d Lucky asked. \u201cYou gotta question that.\u201d Furthermore, the sponsors for the tournament themselves also seemed a little suspect to the YouTuber, especially L33T and Overman, who have almost no active following on Twitter. The main title sponsor of the event, Legends.bet, is a CSGO skin-betting website, or was, as Lucky pointed out the site is no longer active. \u201cSuper weird right? Three of your primary sponsors \u2026 are just dead accounts,\u201d Lucky said \u201cNot even an active site (Legends.bet) which put up the prize pool.\u201d Axis, one of Lucky\u2019s suspicious teams, was actually disqualified from the tournament on January 23 due to \u201csufficient evidence\u201d that one of their players wasn\u2019t competing fairly. \u201cThis is all based on speculation, none of this can be fully confirmed as of right now,\u201d Lucky added in the video. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to call anyone out, I\u2019m simply trying to point out the obvious evidence out there that this entire event could have been hosted just for the fix.\u201d Match-fixing scandals are nothing new in competitive CSGO, but holding an entire tournament just for one bet (if that\u2019s really what happened) is a whole other level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
