As the first CIS CS:GO RMR event of the season, giving teams from the region a shot at qualifying for the Stockholm Major<\/a>, the EPIC League CIS Spring 2021<\/a> tournament was a massive deal. However, the exciting matches were a bit soured due to various issues, including several allegations of cheating<\/a> lodged against Akuma. It went as far as 15 CIS teams signing an open letter to Valve<\/a> asking for further investigation. Now, the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has found potential evidence of match-fixing and\/or betting fraud in relation to Akuma at EPIC League CIS 2021.<\/p>\n

Akuma match-fixing and betting fraud evidence<\/h2>\n

First of all, it is important to note ESIC only found potential evidence and had no insight into the operation of the tournament. ESIC further doesn’t have any jurisdiction over the tournament, as EPIC is not an ESIC-member organization.<\/p>\n

ESIC has also not taken steps to investigate the extent of integrity threats in the event. With that in mind, ESIC has found potential evidence and has sent this evidence to Valve.<\/p>\n
