Esports has grown exponentially from its humble roots. We went from the basements of convention halls to stadiums all over the world.
But that doesn’t mean we haven’t had hiccups now and then. And by hiccups, we mean catastrophic scandals.

hong kong protests are still happening.
OK Carl Segan!
Surprised not to see the dreamkazper grooming scandal from OWL
When they banned buddy for saying free Hong Kong. EA/Blizzard clearly just got bent over and fucked two ways by the Chinese Government.
The matchfixing didn't ruin Life's nor Savior legacy, they are still legendary players and two of the best in sc history. They just played worse than possible at times, so none of their accomplishments are diminished.
Thought i would see 322 in this video
Blizzard is a mess, no THE Mess
The fact that TNC actually won that tournament despite Kuku being banned made me laugh so hard 😂
Top 10 esport memes :
1. theScore esports and the olof boost
How are Tmartn/Syndicate/JoshOG and Tfue on this list when they don't relate to esports? Esports is competitive play and those scandals both relate to streaming/content
Brack's speech at BlizzCon was an absolute disgrace.
The dota 2 322 scandal? Why is it so big? Cause till today, years after it happened, it is still a meme in the game
These retards don’t know anything about how skin gambling worked they have no right to make legislation on it
"Humans are a way for the universe to know itself" RIP Bill Hicks. Taken from us far too early.
So i found this new site :)…..
LDLC were being salty little bitches when the olofboost occurred
They also used a pixel glitch boost also you could see the olofboost from almost ever angle except one tiny angle which is why it was considered a pixel glitch boost and deemed illegal
A lot of people seem to forget JoshOG was a co owner with Tmartn and Syn.
#1 had nothing to do with esports
Dreamkazper should've been on here.
What about the cloud 9 Adderol scandal ?
My Pinoy
China numba 2 scrubs
Faze Jarvis wasn't in the list?
What do you mean no mocow 5… our russian bois scammed tons o people.
Surprised no mention of the Russian league players involved in credit card fraud
Looks like Counter strike and Starcraft are full of cheaters
So the majority of these so-called best gamers are cheats and scammers? Pathetic
Sadly Uranium wasn’t made in stars.
Sorry to disappoint you but nuclear fusion stops at iron :((
“We didn’t live up to our own high standards” Yeah NO SHIT!!! Blizzard deserves all the shit they get for that fucking disgusting move.
man, right off the bat and it's already tragic; Rick Fox is an awesome person, it sucks what happened to Echo Fox. I actually didn't know the full story til now, Id only heard of its dissolve, and some loose details.
Just 10th??
Rick Fox did a great job for Riot and was throwed away like trash.
It's still weird to think that Valve almost faced legal backlash for the actions of third party gambling sites they had virtually no control over.
Pretty certain they didn't even know about the site until influencers started promoting them (at least not all of the gambling sites).
So… Top 10 matchfixes when? 😛
Wait, the guys mad because he ONLY made 15 million playing video games? Shit man I wish I could get 1 mil to play games I like.
322 never forget.
Kinda surprised to not see the Ally/CaptainZack situation. Match fixing, manipulation, alleged statutory rape. there was a lot going on with that scenario
Game: Rated M for Mature
the fact that kids are playing these games is already the problem
FREE SWAG
Life was well on his way to being the GOAT then he threw it all away =/
wait, wtf? not a single mention of PhantomL0rd? %?
The Olofboost scandal and the Griffin scandal both in one video? damn theScore esports, you really went over yourselves now
Just my opinion but I think the Dreamkazper scandal should've been somewhere on the list. For those of you who don't know what happened, in April of 2018, it was discovered that Dreamkazper had several sexual conversations with underage girls, which got him permanently banned and he was even investigated by the police.
