Hiko: "Ban is deserved"

Spencer "Hiko" Martin has applauded Valve's decision to ban all those involved in a match-fixing scandal.

The North American CS:GO community has been taken by storm after Valve announced bans for seven people involved in a huge match-fixing scandal, including five professional players.

Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin played alongside three of the players in question in ex-iBP for a few weeks before leaving the team after it was announced that they would be skipping MLG X Games Aspen.


Hiko believes ban is justified

In a post on Reddit, the former Cloud9 member writes that the bans are justified and reveals that he is currently assessing his options, together with Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham.

"Skadoodle and myself will be looking at our options in the coming days and deciding what our next best move from here will be," he wrote.

"It's a shame what happened to those guys, and even more a shame they would be willing to risk their professional career just to win skins.

"They definitely deserve what happened to them, and I will not associate myself with these guys any longer."

because ska didn't get any skins apparently not saying a word keeping the scandal a secret as a prof. player is not as bad. Skadoodle should be banned too this is simply stupid. you can't tell anyone he was the ONLY player who didn't knew about it.

Yes, but he seems to well thought-out in his approach to everything - from leaving c9 (his reasons were very logical) to his now dis-association with ex-ibp. Was never a massive fan of his, but my hat is tipped to him.

This is about match fixing. VP on the other hand bet against themselves after the game was over and they lost. They didn't throw, but after the game was over they saw it was still bettable on lounge so they betted on LDLC. It was stupid, but nothing compared to match fixing.

No, because if they had win the game, the bets would be placed on themselves. I can bet that LDLC had place bets on themselves. It not fair because they had 100% chance of winning the bet, yet it was not match fixing in any way.

Technically they didn't fix the match result, they just abused their insider knowledge for free betting wins. This should still be punished, but it's not as bad as match fixing.

Yeah he is always a beast online. If you didnt notice the guy sucks dick when its LAN time. ie. Watch last ESEA finals. He is known to be weak mentally too so no, you dont want a guy like that to play vs the euro teams.

Shahzam joined C9 not too long ago and people already want him removed. It's a pity that people think the "pros" suck ass when they, the people who say "Team X should cut person Y" are not anywhere close to being at the top of any CSGO scene lol. Also, you need to realize that a team with 5 mad fraggers won't do much. You need people with good personalities and leadership skills. Not to mention, a team like C9 already get along pretty well. Why ruin months or years of bonding only to pick up other players who are considered "mad fraggers"?

Hiko is the biggest thrower in all if NA. I don't know how many times in CoL and C9 I saw them simply not trying and losing a bunch of 80%+ games only to see Hiko in the next game with even rarer skins than the last.

Warden quit CSGO due to his full-time job. Nitr0 probably will not leave Liquid because he's got benefits for now and a decent salary. JDM...well, he's been in and out of CLG aka ex-mouseSpaz several times, so I don't know how long he will last in a new team.

It is. Swag, AZK, Dazed and Steel were Top8 talents in NA. They were among the very few NA players who had a shot at consistently competing internationally. C9 is not gonna do better than what they have already shown. There is no upside. For other teams to catch up to the level ex-IBP had its gonna take a while if it happens at all. Deserved punishment but still a very sad day for the NA scene.

Catch up to what level? NA CS will always be right under EU. NA CS will stay at the same level it has been for 15 years. I know. Ive been there for the 15 years. Its a hobby here and frowned upon by the general public. Swag and Dazed were top8 talents. Dazed barely in that group. There are still going to be the same amount of qualifiers and american teams attending events. Its just going to be different players. With the same mediocre results. Upsets here and there. And I obviously dont think there is a skill level gap. But there most certainly is a teamwork gap between EU and NA. Like I said, its a hobby here.

Yeah, why wouldn't they remove their best player and their IGL? If they were to add Skadoodle and Hiko, Shazam and Sgares are the ones that should have to go because they don't need 2 AWPers or a player that looks more fit to retire than Fiffi did.

The player pool for css was smaller than 1.6..... You really want to argue that the player pool for csgo is on the same page? Thats why in highschool and colleges they have divisions for sports. Its so the schools with 5000 kids arent going up against the schools with 500 kids. Player pool matters.

So the next question is... Where did YOU come from? You understand there will never be integrity in a scene run rampant with children and immature trolls. In a scene with so much anonymity, there will never be integrity.

actually i'm questioning whether it's legally enforceable for Valve to ban these players. Not that I don't agree, but I do think it shouldn't be indefinite. it's obstruction of plying ones trade or livelihood. And i'm sure you can only ban by account and not by actual person/identity.

2014 has a lot of CS problems including hackers, what a rough start for 2015, at least the NA scene. TBH, even though they do deserve the banned, I think they should get a second chance but each player should have to pay some sort of fine ranging from $1500-$2000 and maybe take their skins away if we feeling like being real assholes. They are great players that is no lie, and many of them top NA players. Well, let them be remembered.

The problem is pro players betting on their own matches and lose on purpose.

I used to never really like Hiko, but the more and more I watch his stream and listen to what he has to say about CS matters. The more I like the guy and wonder why I never liked him.

LOL, imo this title is so misleading since people accuse hiko of cheating all the time, thought he was done in and almost wept for the NA scene. Good to know it isn't so and to the betting scandals, it's a little sad, but we all gotta eat somehow, and IBP chose screwing their fans.
