Epsilon suspend CS:GO team

1-2-2015 18:13

Epsilon have announced that they have suspended their CS:GO division pending the outcome of an investigation into match-fixing claims.

Robin "⁠GMX⁠" Stahmer revealed on Saturday, just 48 hours after being dismissed by Epsilon, that his former team had lost an ESEA match against OverGaming on purpose to profit from weapon skins sold by friends on CSGOLounge.

One of the players who knew about the fix was Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni, who confirmed on Facebook that he was told the outcome of the match in advance by a former team-mate of his.

ScreaM & co suspended by Epsilon

Epsilon have now revealed that they are in shock with the news of their team being involved in a match-fixing probe and have suspended the players until the results of the investigation are announced.

It became apparent yesterday that a statement from our ex player, GMX, had surfaced accusing his ex team-mates of throwing a game some months ago.

We at Epsilon had absolutely no prior information about this situation and were as shocked to read this as everyone else.

Since this information came to be known, we have been working behind the scenes to gain as much data ourselves and also liaising with other bodies within the CS:GO scene such as Valve.

Firstly, we at Epsilon would like to make it clear that we absolutely do not condone cheating and exploiting systems in any way.

We have now decided to suspend the whole CS:GO team pending the results of ongoing investigations by both Valve and ESEA.

We will of course provide any more information, both when we have it, and when it is relevant to do so.

Epsilon currently have:

Kevin "⁠Uzzziii⁠" Vernel
Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom
Joey "⁠fxy0⁠" Schlosser

Morgan "⁠B1GGY⁠" Madour (stand-in)

Lol, so they did throw.

Sad that a lot of good players are ruining their careers for some pixels. The responsibility lies with the players, not the pixels.

The players and not the pixels fault though

They didnt throw :)

2015-02-01 18:43

Lol, like its csgl fault that half the scene is made of selfish assholes.

Titan +Scream

Hahhahahahah Fukin Deserved Over-Rated Scream , Toxic fxy0 , Crybaby Gmx , and 2 Bots and Expected

altho it is something really bad to do I cant believe they get a lifetime ban for it. I think it's still nothing compared to cheating. They should get a fine from csgolounge like 10x their profit or smth and a year exclusion from tournaments

2015-02-01 18:22

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

+kennys ldlc +scream titan

amazing community

GOOD JOB GMX the faggot of the year

fuck you GMX you dumb fuck. He ruined his carrier by sucking dick now wants to ruin his ex-teams carrier. NICE

the whole carrier?

GMX didnt ruin their careers, they did that to themselves.

They did it to them self, dumb fuck

2015-02-01 18:48

Hi, I'm your doctor.You need a brain surgery. Donate all you're skins to hltv users.

2015-02-01 19:11

When will people understand that it was them that ruined their careers? They threw the game, they fucked up. Stop whining you little bitch. Swag didn't snitch and people called him an asshole, this guy snitchs and he's an asshole too. lol

2015-02-01 20:49

deserved..

Waiting scream cry twIIt

One step closer to having a clean scene. Fucking players need to stop spiting in the face of the community that gives them the chance to play a fucking video game for a living.

RIP

LOL

#REKT

RIP EPSILON

Don't forget the "pending the outcome of an investigation into match-fixing claims." part.

If they remove the team, they must already have enough information to believe there has been match-fixing. I'm sure they confirmed that the match was thrown already, and now they're just trying to investigate who did what to help Valve punish accordingly.

2015-02-01 18:33

If Scream is a part of this, then everyone can be.

This is gold.

rektyerekt.

Doesn't really matter, they would have been kicked anyway as they achieved absolutely nothing.

Shox and kio were in epsi that time?

niiiiiice!

2015-02-01 18:30

If a person like ScreaM is found to be guilty, I hope he won't receive special treatment just because he's ScreaM.

Only reasonable choice by the organization. Good job.

24 hours later... Fxy0 murdered GMX, Epsilon disbanded, ScreaM joined ISIS, Uzi and B1GGY... who cares

2015-02-01 18:34

lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHA

2015-02-01 19:07

I'm kinda skeptical about the throw, like did epsilon really believe they could beat overgaming?

MYSTIK?

2015-02-01 18:36

Good

2015-02-01 18:40

idiots lol

SUE THEM PLAYERS

GMX : "I won't go down alone"

RIP ScreaM [*]

2015-02-01 18:42

It most likely happened, but the question is if they will find enough evidence to take em down.

i think if they dig deep enought at least 10 baguettes will be banned

This team doesn't need to throw, they lose every single game no matter who their opponent is lol

2015-02-01 18:47

What if epsilon didn't lose, but they threw every game? :O

2015-02-01 18:50

Maybe they made millions out of this hahaha... Who needs cs they got alot of money now

2015-02-01 19:03

they dont need to throw only had to sign uzzii & B1GGy , and then max bet against yourself every single match = profit . well they need to throw against oG because they suck even more.

2015-02-01 19:30

OverGaming wasn't/isn't really that bad, they have beaten a few t2 teams back in 2014, but since B1GGY placed a bet against them this is obviously a throw

2015-02-01 20:05

haha RIP it's funny :D

GMX, what a shame. This guy has no honor whatsoever. I hope if he ever come back in CS, he gets no teammates to play with. He gets kicked out and his first reaction is to rat out his friends, how shameful is that. Some of you may say that with that with what I say there will be no information on malicious behaviour in the future and I say it's wrong. If GMX really regreted what he has done, he could have gone forward far before he got kicked. Don't get me wrong, match-fixing is wrong and Epsilon's player should be punished if this claim reveals itself to be true, but GMX has no kind of honor.

"say that with that with what i say" WTF ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY

I must admit I typed to much words. I meant "...may say that with what I say...". Sorry for the inconvenience.

+1 im thinking same..

2015-02-01 18:52

This is what I think as well, spineless worm is a good description.

And there's worse : it's a public vengence. I mean, if he had gone secretly to an ESEA admin because he felt he should report it, why not, even if it is still somewhat wrong, but here he just did it publicly and probably crushed his friends' career just for a revenge. It's shameful.

There is no honor among thieves.

2015-02-01 20:09

Yeah, but thats the kind of friend someone who cheats and fix matches attracts and deserves.

2015-02-01 21:11

in a few months we wont have any pro players left :D
