At the very start of every competition, before the lights and the fandom, there is something truly beautiful.
A group of people united in passion. Pushing the game they love to its limits, in the hopes that one day, their dreams will be realized.
It’s a path esports fans are all to familiar with. But in the pursuit of every great competition. There is a darker side to the journey.
This is the story of matches thrown and careers lost. The story of what happens when the dark underbelly of professional competition rears its ugly head.
A story of kids who messed up and paid the ultimate price.
This is the story of match fixing in esports.

Life is the last Zerg player to win a GSL.. he was dominant, such a shame.
i feel if you matchfix you should be perma banned. it can not only Ruin the hole integrity of the game chasing away sponsors and investors but its also scummy and you deserve whats coming.
lucky for solo, he just got one year ban and he now are in the one of the strongest team in dota 2
This is like the 4th video you've guys made about iBuyPowers match fixing

The mic clipping volume game commentary at 22:30 is a little unnecessary. It’s way louder than the rest of the video
that Dig vs Curse game was so undeserved. No one actually cares about these bum-ass tourneys just let them have fun.
Ya'llwanna see throwngames? Ya'llwatch skt vs ig in 2019 msi groupstages day 2..record setting HAHAHAHA
I know I am going to sound absolutely nuts but that sample of casino slots sound like a sample that's been used in something over and over again. 1:05
Lol nope, no redemption. Don’t match fix.
This is a really interesting video and all
But holy shit is that Soe from OWL with long hair at 8:37?
Overwatch League
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
bans are there to make sure games are clean. asking bans to be lifted will allow players to do more match fixing if they know they will be unbanned in the future
Matchfixing is a serious crime, Valve did the right thing to ban them for life. Fuck those who thought they would redeem yourself; you lost that trust already.
You guys are legends, great content fellas

Were is the ? guy at ??? Is he ??
History of Solo next, the people demand the 322 story
As much as we want to keep the competitive integrity of any game in general there’s always the stereotype that “The poor wants to be Rich an d the rich wants to be richer”. And even though the newer generations hoping into Esports might be there for the stardom, fans, or even just to live out their dreams, There’s gonna be the one guy willing to do anything for some extra $$$
I wanted to knife XD
Prosor Prosor 322

Man that lifetime ban was way too harsh even some murderers are given second chances
Another well researched, well presented video. Keep up the good work
22:23 caster vietnam?

Story of Bonjwas?
Even if you were throwing, it never occurred to them to disguise it in anyway? Instead of leaving themselves to be completely swept making it obvious some matchfixing was at play?
ibuypower is first hand experience
i wouldnt call the dig vs curse game match fixing or a scandal, sure the hosts didnt like it, but all 10 players willingly agreed and went through with it not for the money, but for a good time
19:40 "There are still cries for the removal of Swag's ban"
19:47 "FREE SWAG, FREE SWAG, FREE SWAG, FREE SWAG!"
