Match fixing
Match fixing controversies have also emerged in Esports, including in particular "", "Dota 2", "League of Legends", "Overwatch", and "StarCraft". Major scandals have included those of the iBuyPower and NetcodeGuides.com "Counter-Strike" teams, where it was found that the iBuyPower team had received around $10,000 worth of items via skin gambling—the practice of wagering "CS:GO" weapon skins in a similar manner to sports betting, based on real-world market values—after they threw matches in a major tournament. South Korean "StarCraft II" player Life was also convicted of having partaken in match fixing.
