Team Falcons midlaner Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak recalled one time when he was suggested to throw games in his career. The match-fixers contacted him seemingly randomly. He didn't get into the details of the offer and refused it. The Dota 2 player shared this on stream.
Was I ever offered to do 322? I'm trying to remember [takes a pause]. Ah, yeah, there were some nonames who contacted me on VK. They were hinting at throwing [matches], also sent me evidence that they were giving money to someone. Something like that. I said that I don't do that.
Malr1ne misses ESL One Raleigh 2025 due to visa issues. Quinn "Quinn" Callahan stands in for Falcons. On the first day of the tournament, the team defeated BetBoom Team and got a draw against Tundra Esports. In the next match, they'll face Heroic. The midlaner said earlier that he would be happy for Team Falcons if they win the tournament without him.
Earlier, former OG player Mikhail "Misha" Agatov spoke about a common bait used by match-fixers to lure players into their system. Although he had never experienced this, he heard stories about the bettors trying to convince players that their teammates were already throwing matches. He believes some may have fallen for this trick and started match-fixing.
