Current state of online CS
On a burner right now and I’m going to reveal everything. Need to get it off my chest because I genuinely fucking hate the way the scene is right now and maybe I might make a difference with this. First of all, CTRL are guilty of this. But it’s not what you think (continued)…
Official Statement Regarding the CTRL vs. 9INE AC Match.
We have observed suspicious activity on the part of the CTRL team and suspicions of match-fixing, as well as atypical behavior by players during this match and suspicions of violations of the concept of fair play, and a discrepancy between the information provided to us regarding the players on this roster; as a result, we are disqualifying the CTRL team from participating in this, as well as in all future United21 seasons. The results of all matches have been voided, and we are awarding them a technical loss.

The 9INE AC team will advance to the next round of the group stage.
We always adhere to our principles and will combat match-fixing as well as any unfair methods used by teams to secure victories.
Sincerely, United21
This is just the tip of the iceberg btw. There will come a time soon where I will dump literally everything I have on all the teams, players and people involved. The corruption goes way deeper than you think.

It goes much deeper in regards to organisers, players, casters, young talent who are aware and contributing to fixing and cheating. I’d love to burst the bubble on all of it but it would leave me in an awful situation right now, as it would for many others who oppose all this too
@askme4 it’s an org you haven’t mentioned (they aren’t active rn) but you’re pretty much bang on, only solution is to gut the whole scene after t1. you can’t trust any game to be legit outside of very few t2 orgs who i know prioritise the careers of their young talents over fixing
@askme4 the observer cheat is an expensive private cheat (they were asking for $15k a month or something stupid) and is mostly used by the same circle of russian fixers who will sit in ts for the organisers and help teams win matches that they are massive underdogs in
@whimsicalroma exactly, yeah. if you bet money on these games you seriously deserve to lose every penny, and then some more. I’d say 80-90% of games in t2-t3 even outside of united 21 are controlled by organisers in some way, whether they are fixing map 1 or series result…
@raabellowqi see my other reply. It’s up to you whether you believe this or not. the scene is fucked either way lol i’m slowly realising how pointless of a post this was
@369dice any evidence I could post would just incriminate me and get me into serious trouble. you can choose to believe me or not. one day I’ll happily post clips demos ts recordings and screenshots but not while there’s people threatening us
Interestingly, earlier this year a top 3 UK team were threatened by one of the U21 fixers that if if they didn’t throw for them in a separate cup they would post all the evidence of them fixing on Twitter. The team made the decision to call the bluff and they quietly went away.
Bonus stuff for fun: the fixers who work with admins are predominantly eastern european/russian, nearly all the money being placed by fixers on games is dodgy unwashed crypto and that is why they threaten you with blackmail and harm if you don’t go along w it
