Banned for the Most Obvious Throw in Esports History

by devaccess



Okay, so you want to throw a professional match in your esport. You should be subtle about it right? You know, so you don’t get caught.

But in this case a Rocket League team on the verge of making the playoffs decided to throw a pivotal series on-the-fly, mid-match.

Because of that, the entire team was dropped from the org, and Psyonix, the developer of Rocket League, has banned two players for an entire year.

Esports really a whiny world !
It happen all the time in other sports, if your playoff status are to be determined by another match it's your fault !
If the RNG team was not involved people wouldn't mind !
It's not match fixing ! It's was just "screw it we are out of the playoff" they played 4 games clear and couldn't make the playoff of course they don't give a fuck about the game 5 !
NBA team's a literaly tanking SEASONS because there rosters are not in good shape and bench the best players to have the first pick in the draft and you don't see people complaining !
Football is the same you can see some weird draw or loses in group stage to avoid going against the best on the top 16 round !
If this is not match fixing there is no problem !

That was stupid but also maybe don't make your esport have shitty rules. Why would a series going to game 5 auto lose playoff spots for a team. That has to be the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard. Thank god I don't watch that shitty game.

my question is , why is placement decided by the number of games they win rather than the number of series they win or something?

I mean what are they honestly to do? You want them to try when they are already out? What’s the point? They have nothing else to play for if they are already out of the tournament. That’s like telling someone to go play a game the hardest they can but no matter how badly the beat the other team guess what. You’re still a loser, better luck next time. It’s a stupid format that encourages someone who’s already lost to try? That’s a waste of their time at that point.

This reminds me of a very similar situation that happened in soccer/football. Both teams trying to score own goals, both teams defending each others goals.

Can you guys talk about Team Liquid winning the R6S Pro League Finals in Atlantic City? I think at the time it was the only non-EU team to win it or something… Still a cool story though.
