This comes on the back of a reddit post yesterday claiming that the evidence used to expel them from leagues such as The Summit 2 and Synergy League was fabricated, and that there was no wrongdoing. This is also covered in the apology, where he explains it was their manager attempting damage control.
大家好，我是ddz。我要向所有朋友与粉丝道歉，因为我的举动已经害了大家，连累了大家也辜负了大家对我的期望。
我想让大家知道我当初为什么会这样做，是因为我们需要赚多点外快。我明白身为一个玩家是不被鼓励下注，但是我希望你们明白我们的处境，并没有你们想象中那么容易简单。
我也想说对不起，因为当初没有提早承认，反而却一直想掩护自己的错误。因为当时我很害怕，所以就跟了其他的人的话去做。我也很抱歉因为我当时真的没有发现到这举动有多么的不道德。我希望大家能给我们一个机会，我们已经知错了，也终于有了勇气认错。我们向大家保证，以后不会再有这样的事情发生。非常的对不起。我相信大家想知道的是真相，而不是一错再错的谎言。
The purpose of writing this is to clarify about the 322 incident.
But firstly, we, the 5 members of Arrow Gaming as well as XiaoTing and Hishiko (DDZ and Lance’s girlfriends), would like to sincerely apologize to the organizers, Synergy League and BeyondTheSummit, and to our fans as well as the Dota 2 community for all the trouble we have caused.
Firstly, we want to admit that the 322 by DDZ and Lance is true, and we are very sorry for this mistake. We considered doing it in the first place because we were desperate for money. We live in the city, and being underpaid, things are just very tough and harsh on us sometimes. We are very very sorry for this action and we should have never done it.
We were very afraid and lost, and didn’t know what to do and how to react. And thus, we approached our management for help and we were advised to cover up for the sake of our reputation. We knew this was wrong but we felt extremely pressured to follow whatever our manager Jaren Gan, said, as we are working for him.
The statement, as well as the ‘evidence’ provided, that was made in DDZ’s name, was not written by him, but by Jaren for damage control. We know this is wrong and it made things even worse by covering up a mistake with lies. We should not have let it happen.
We are also sorry for not confessing earlier, and also very sorry for letting all our fans and the Dota 2 community down. We are deeply sorry for not following our hearts and just doing what is right, because we were afraid and terrified of what would happen to us. Gaming is our life and we were afraid that we would lose everything because of our greed and desperation.
But no matter what it is, we accept 100% the punishment and consequences that is to be made to us, and we give our word and our promise that this will never happen again. It was an extremely stupid mistake, and we made it worse by doing something we knew was wrong instead of admitting it straight away.
We have finally found the courage to admit it and to confess because we know that lies will only lead to more lies and we will never find peace of mind. We believe that telling people the truth and admitting our mistakes, even if it may be too late, is the right thing to do.
We are also very sorry that we were too stupid to realize how unethical it was… we are sorry for everything that we have done. We have betrayed our fans’ trust and faith in us, and we will never forgive ourselves. We hope that you can forgive us even after all we’ve done. Thank you.
