Cyclops Athlete Gaming, one of the best Rainbow Six teams in Asia, avoided punishment after admitting to match throwing in the Rainbow Six Pro League.<\/p>\n

This rather unusual situation occurred in October during a Rainbow Six match in Asia-Pacific League 2020 North Division.<\/p>\n

Japanese R6S team Cyclops Athlete Gaming were up against QConfirm, but instead of doing their best to win, they’ve decided to go with off-meta Operators and played visibly below their level.<\/p>\n

That was obvious even during the game, but if further proof was needed, their head coach Hibiki “XQQ” Motoyama admitted soon after via Twitter that the team had ended deliberately thrown the match.<\/p>\n
