Yeah, retrospect is a thing  But my point is that at his age, if my older teammates told me to throw an insignificant game for profit, I wouldn't have had the spine (or the moral compass) to refuse. | ||

He surely isn't the mastermind behind all this. But you're still guilty if you're just the driver at a bank robbery and you're older friends told you to do so. | ||

Not saying he shouldn't be banned but I'm saying if you're young you may deserve a second chance. Dazed, however, got into a skype call with a videogaming journalist and Shahzam (who is the one who initially got caught telling people that the game was being thrown before it was played). In that phone call he essentially put Shahzam's integrity into question (not an unfair strategy considering) and basically acted like the idea that IBP was throwing was preposterous. Can't trust a fucking asshole like that. | ||

I don't think anyone is saying swag isnt guilty, just that it is understandable that that shit happens when you are young. This really fucks the NA scene though, 2 of top 4 teams gone. Good ol NBK. | ||

Otherwise the combination of guaranteed money from a fix and the lack of perspective to know better will prove too strong for talented young players. I agree completely. However, in 2014, the NA CS scene lacked all three of those standards. | ||

[–]OfficialHikoFormer Cloud9 Player [score hidden] 51 minutes ago RIP the dream. Skadoodle and myself will be looking at our options in the coming days and deciding what our next best move from here will be. It's a shame what happened to those guys, and even more a shame they would be willing to risk their professional career just to win skins. They definitely deserve what happened to them, and I will not associate myself with these guys any longer. new team inc! | ||

Well, he was talking over twitter with the Optic owner. Wouldn't be bad for a new organization looking to expand into CS:GO to pick them both up and build a team around them. | ||
