Match fixing — intentionally throwing a competitive game for monetary gain — is one of the most controversial topics in esports.
And last week, the Dota community blew up with accusations of match Fixing after legendary Dota player, TI winner and current coach Xiao8 allegedly said he would “eat sh*t” if a game during the StarLadder Minor Chinese qualifier wasn’t a fix.
And what’s more, we have proof that that match has been investigated by a major sports betting company.

So what do you guys think? Would you like Valve to investigate this series to do determine if match fixing occurred?
No Olof boost in the video?
Deeper dives are always going to be better content than reviewing what most people would already know at that point.
Complicated.
didnt ppl accuse g2 vs fpx to be fixed?
Betting companies shouldn’t have or be anywhere near sports.
I Buy Power all over again. whole team of csgo pros who chucked the career away.
Why is there no MTG content on this channel? The younger guy even said a couple times he loves MTG most of all.
hey guys can you do another update on the lowkey esports debacle.. apparently their dota 2 team was not yet paid on their monthly salaries for FOUR MONTHS
i love this channel keep it up you beta cucks
Supreme, for supremely insecure suckers hahaha jk
WE WANT MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS :D. Ty
yes
I really dont think it was a match fix tbh. Its not hard to throw games that hard in dota. We watched liquid get flustered and fuck up a bunch of spells without any follow up during TI last year. the faceless void coming in after the morph died was an obvious fuck up. just miscommunication and some players that were quite a bit lower in skill compared to newbee.
ANDDD ALSO LIKE 2 TI FLUKE WINNER OG,THEY WIN BECAUSE GABEN WANT THEM WIN,THEY JUST A NOOB TEAM
JUST LIKE MIRACLE AND MINDCONTROL DIVE IN INTO 5 MAN AILIANCE AND THEN MIRACLE NO BUYBACK AND THEN AILIANCE WIN,NICE THROW
i want swag allowed on all tournaments ):
i remember the damage a matchfixed game had in the danish league of legends scene. The betting side didnt make an official statement about why they stopped offering bets on the league. I was on the other side of the series and we were heavy underdogs, and when you are in the game you know if someone is matchfixing or not. This was more than a year ago, and you still cant bet on the league to this day

I believe Newbee actually said themselves via Weibo after both Game 2 and 3 that their opponents 'let them win' or something like that
That mustache is so thick

Do a investigation/recap into the skin scam in CSGO involving JoshOG.
