Well it was really uncompetitive from them but really who can blam them. If you compare it to other sport events and say the olympics are the s2 finals that thing was you lokal tourny where everyone derps around. Dig had nothing to gain aside from monye and maybe a bit fun, curse on the other hand could get a bit better in ther seating so from there standpoint is makes sense at least to ask.

Quoted:
Only I find this absolutely legit? I know I might be idiot in eyes of few of you guys, but I think it's absolutely fine, happens in NASCAR, happens in almost every sport. If both teams agree, what's the problem? Should they just lose it on SR in normal game and pretend that nothing happened? It's just their thing, I don't get why organizers get butthurt over it.


I don't know of any sports where such a thing happens or is legal. Dignitas let Curse win MLG effortless for Curse to get a better seeding in the regionals. The rule they broke is the following:
competitors may not intentionally Forfeit a Game or conspire to manipulate Rankings or Brackets.

Look at Starcraft to see the real consequences of match-fixing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Jae-Yoon
"By May, it was alleged that the "Maestro" had been a ring-leader in a scheme that saw at least 12 StarCraft matches deliberately lost[23] and eleven pro-gamers (current and former) implicated. He was subsequently banned for life from professional competition[24] and it has been reported that all awards and honorary achievements have been revoked.[25]"

I totally agree but if it is disallowed by the rules then they were just dumb lol.

Crs has apologized for the ARAM but denies anything else other than that.

Dig has said nothing.

I am waiting for proof of this before I judge. Aram was a hint, but nothing more.

Sounds WAY too stupid to contemplate really, way too obvious!
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

Curse explanation:

Curse denies that they match-fixed at MLG.

MLG Twitter says that they have evidence of the collusion.

Dig has released a statement agreeing to some parts of the accusation but asks for time to release an official final statement.
