I was being sarcastic. Look at the difference in prize pool, that explain why they will allow this one without batting an eyelash.

2018-05-16 19:58

naah it really doesnt. It might have a high prizepool, but how do you think its getting financed...

Yes, but since it's a higher profile one hltv isn't going to shoot themselves in the foot without evidences. Hltv is a business as well.

I know. :) I'm just saying they should at least consider a boycott

2018-05-16 20:02

this is an international event tho

2018-05-16 19:54

this isnt some tier 5 chinese cup this is a 300k $ tournament with top tier EU teams aswell lmao

yeah.. let's bribe some staff and matchfix , because this is what we usually do seriously , why not just ban all small online chinese tournament chinese cs scene is shady af

2018-05-17 06:54

Its the same across all esports in asia tbh. Its really sad.

2018-05-17 08:26

well I wonder if my chinese people bribe gaben or not because valve did nothing to combat matchfix in asia scene

2018-05-17 09:34

They do in dota. liquipedia.net/dota2/Banned_players :) recently banned a couple of teams from DPL

2018-05-17 09:35

but you know , even if they get banned they don't care because the mafia literally controlled the whole asia cs scene and people would still gamble on it the only way to combat matchfix is to boycott small online chinese / east-asia tournaments

2018-05-17 09:43

I agree. They only get banned if its proved, and id say that 95-99 percent cant be proved. It's not like they aren't smart about it, and nobody has the resources required to investigate every single match that involves a comeback, or upset. Boycott is the only way to go.
