The former CSGO.one has been cleared of all matchfixing charges after an investigation by their new organization.
A little over a week ago CSGO.one parted ways with their international line-up after the team accused their owners of coercing them into matchfixing for the gambling site's profit. The team was then signed by PixelFire Gaming, who decided to look into the matter after CSGO.one denied asking the team to throw. PixelFire found that the team's manger had independently asked the team to throw without the knowledge of the site itself. Read the full statement from PixelFire below:
“
We are interested to develop PixelFire Gaming as a successful eSports organization, therefore it was a great opportunity to sign an experienced team with impressive background and a lot of potential. We've reached the team with our offer and managed to agree on the terms that would benefit everyone.We had a brief discussion with the players, they've provided me the proofs of their ex-manager going rogue and clearly offering them to throw one of the upcoming matches. I've been reached by CSGO.one owner shortly after and was more than happy to assist his investigation.
After getting all the details together there was no doubt that CSGO.one was not aware of such activity and never authorized them.
We are happy to announce that there are no disputes left between the players and CSGO.one. It would be unfair if shady actions of one unexperienced employee did affect the whole organization so we are glad to assist restoring the good name of CSGO.one after the controversy.
PixelFire Gaming will keep conquering the scene and we are looking forward to face the new CSGO.one squad in a friendly game at some point in the future!”
