BWC manager caught in match rigging scandal

The Russian Because We Care manager "Tpytehb" has been caught offering money to his players so they would deliberately lose. Tpytehb would then have betted a huge amount on the opponent at the eSport betting site XLBet.com.

Chat logs between Tpytehb and Chinese Human player "wp" have been published at Replays.net, which clearly shows the scandalous attempts from the manager.

"If u will lose orcbaby i will pay you 15$," was what Tpytehb offered wp, but he player quickly declined. "No, I refuse to," said wp. "To tell you the truth I do not value this game, but I really do not want to do it."

Due to this debacle, the Chinese members, hailing from team BoC, has left Because We Care. This includes the rig-attempted player WP, Moonfans, Goblin, Bosuhe and all the other Chinese players will continue playing on their own.

- "This is not only an insult to WarCraft 3, but an insult to the Chinese team honor. Money is not everything, not all Chinese people love money," says BoC team manager 7night in a statement to Replays.net.

"Not only the players can not stand it, but as a management we can't tolerate these acts, so we resolutely left the team."

Tpytehb has in a statement to GoodGame.ru begged for forgiveness.

- "I apologize to the entire community of esports for unsportsmanlike behaviour, I really tried to manipulate the rates, not only to Chinese but also European players," admits Tpytehb.

"I was wrong, and I understand now how low I sunk, I apologize to all the players on the team as well as managers who were with me."

He further explains that he wants to stay within eSports and how he loves the WarCraft 3 community. At the same time, nearly all the players in Because We Care have left.

XLBet.com has stated they take the match issues very serious and that they will do everything possible to prevent it and punish the persons behind it.
