CSGO.one cleared of fix allegations

29-1-2016 00:13

PixelFire Gaming CEO Leon-Luca "VirtualHeart" Beiderwieden has explained that CSGO.one's management was unaware that the team had been asked to fix online matches by their manager.

Last week, CSGO.one witnessed the departure of their CS:GO team, with the players claiming that they had been asked by the owners of the skin jackpot website to throw matches in Operation: Kinguin #2.

The team went on to join PixelFire Gaming, who remained in contact with CSGO.one in an effort to solve the dispute between the players and the skin website.

BARBARR & co now represent PixelFire

In a statement, Beiderwieden has now revealed that the person who approached the players about the possibility of losing a match on purpose was simply a team manager, who has since been fired by CSGO.one. The PixelFire chief insists that the management of the skin jackpot company had no knowledge of the actions of this individual.

"The players provided me with evidence about their former manager going rogue and clearly offering them to throw one of their upcoming matches," Beiderwieden stated.

"I was reached by CSGO.one's owner shortly afterwards, and I was more than happy to assist him in his investigation.

"After getting all the details together there was no doubt that CSGO.one was not aware of such actions and never authorized them.

"We are happy to announce that there is no dispute between the players and CSGO.one anymore. It would be unfair if shady actions of one unexperienced employee affected the whole organization, so we are glad to assist in restoring the good name of CSGO.one after the controversy.

"PixelFire Gaming will keep conquering the scene and we are looking forward to facing the new CSGO.one squad in a friendly game at some point in the future!"

In a Twitlonger post, CSGO.one owner Dmitry Milyaev echoed Beiderwieden's statement and added that he is looking for a new team to sponsor. The skin jackpot website can be reached by email at [email protected].

PixelFire's team will be in action this weekend at the PGL European Minor Championship, in Bucharest, where eight teams will fight for their part of a $50,000 prize pool and a spot at the MLG Columbus 2016 Main LAN Qualifier.

Sure just blindly believe the players. You must be intelligent.

This is clearly damage control by the org. And even if the manager's the only person to blame, why wouldn't I trust the players? O.o The players were decent enough to cut ties when they were proposed to throw. The throw proposition was real, so they didn't lie about it.

I bet if it was just the manager it would've been just taken as a joke by the players and the players didn't have to escalate the situation that much. What I think is: If it was just the manager the players decided to leave the org by deliberately escalating the situation as much as they can to make a headline for them to get better offers from other orgs (which they did get) OR The manager wasn't the only one involved. I mean think about it, its open season on orgs and the players has to do whatever to secure the best orgs on the market looking for a team.

2016-01-29 02:44

Give what's on the line for the players I don't think they'd see anything as a joke no matter who proposed the throw. You do have a point on the end part of your comment, that is entirely possible.

2016-01-29 04:45

Can you even read? Its basically proven the players were telling the truth. Nobody involved denies that. The only question here is if the org is telling the truth now or if it was actually them (through the manager or directly) who told the players to throw.

2016-01-29 01:51

You are one dumb american.. oh wait xD

2016-01-29 02:21

If you look at it from the other perspective, what orgs would have lots of accounts at their disposal, all with active authenticators and functional item/inventory trading scripts, and could take advantage of a throw at a moments notice? Not skin gambling sites with tons of storage bots or anything ;) That aside, it's pretty safe to assume players who have a vested interest with staying with orgs for sponsorship and other financial benefits would not openly lie about a request for a throw just to stir some drama in online circles.

2016-01-29 03:54

Exactly only they have the motive to do it. These days its easy to track suspicious betting activity so I bet the players and the manager knows that won't work.

2016-01-29 07:56

Know any good 60% keyboards (with F# functions available) under 100?

2016-01-29 01:13

Only one with a function layer that isn't like $200 that's worth getting is the Ducky Mini. Anything cheaper won't have a function layer with a function key or any bindable macro keys or anything. The KUL ES-87 series keyboards do have a volume control grid on the left side of QWERTY but is isn't rebindable and there's no other functions on the board other than the volume controls.

2016-01-29 01:23

Thanks mate

2016-01-29 01:32

2016-01-29 02:20

yeyeah whatever. typical move of every average company, if you fuck up you just need to find the tumor in your body and cut it out (even if there is no tumor, or the whole body is one big tumor) we will never know what happened, pros should not gamble and they also should not be managed by gambling orgs, simple as that.

Right, This totally seems legit.. 'Really guys it was just a random manager! we had no idea we swear keep gambling on our site please! We even fired this one random guy who we had no idea of that he wanted to fix matches!'

Is this happen because we are STARS FRENCH DISBAND!!!??

2016-01-29 00:19

exFKINpected !

imagine if they was offered to throw before valve announced permanently ban for throwers, you guys would ripperino skins with pepperino my friend, thats why valve is scaring these players with permanent. GJ VALVE. PERMANENT BAN TO the throwing FUCKERS.

2016-01-29 00:20

+1 Valve did good and took the full measure with the permanent bans. This will certainly motivate more players that get throw requests to reject immediately.

2016-01-29 14:23

fuck skins

so BS. if the CEO company didnt throw y did the team leave and not did the 'manager'

2016-01-29 00:48

I didn't understand you, sry. Can you explain it again?

ok so y did the team leave the company?? if the company didnt ask them to leave?? the team could have asked the CEO about this and he could've kicked out the 'manager' who tried to match fix

2016-01-29 01:10

a) they werent get paid well b) they wanted out because of numerous reasons and they found a way c) the management actually knew it, but they just found a scapegoat d) another site bought that manager in order to hurt their reputation e) some of the above f) all of the above Idk maybe more reasons... Thing is we will never know.

#FreeIBP

What do you mean by "cleared", HLTV? Among the "investigators" were the owner of the company in question, how does that "clear" anything? To get a legitimate clearance you need a legitimate investigation with legitimate investigators.

I'm fairly certain this whole case is a PR trick by the team to try to gain fans. If it is, then it's very well done.

2016-01-29 02:54

Easy way to get some attention just make a bunch of shit up for fake drama, great way to get some attention just make a bunch of shit up for fake drama.

2016-01-29 02:57

Epsilon part 2. Players are becoming as shady as the orgs.

painfully obvious damage control 1 week later they shouldnt be given another chance

2016-01-29 05:35

Sure thing m8. The only thing I'm actually interested in is that what will happen now to DeadFox and co. Are PixelFire able to buy them out from their contract or CSGO.one will let them go due this throwing thing?

2016-01-29 05:41

Yeah nice try to save their asses lmao :D

2016-01-29 07:01

2016-01-29 07:03

So who cleared them of the allegations? They did it themselves?

2016-01-29 07:24

atleast players were telling the truth then

2016-01-29 07:49

This is certainly utter bs. No one is cleared of any allegations. HLTV are just industry bitches. Csgo.one had a scape goat whom they put all the blame on. We cant say wether the rest of the org is involved or not.

2016-01-29 08:23

2016-01-29 22:48

Blatant cover up

"Cleared" HLTV, please stop taking money for press releases. this is obvious bullshit to anyone not being paid to say otherwise. no one in the history of the universe has ever believed "isolated incident" PR bullshit like this, shame on HLTV, shame on anyone who bought this at face value.
