ESIC has received evidence that Oleksandr Shyshko, the chief executive of CS:GO team Project X, has an active esports betting account.
Shyshko has allegedly placed numerous bets on highly suspicious matches involving Project X, as well as accurately predicting the outcome of the Virtus Pro v Akuma match in the CIS RMR.
This is particularly suspicious considering that 14 teams in the CIS region have accused Akma of cheating by obtaining information about their opponents’ positions on the game map.
ESIC has referred the evidence to Valve, the developer of the game, for further investigation, as it believes match fixing may have taken place.
Earlier this year, ESIC fined CS:GO team Vitality $10,000 for unsporting conduct.
