Spirit launches match-fixing investigation into one of its CS:GO players days before Rio Major debut
Team Spirit’s CS:GO division has run into some unexpected issues just four days before its debut at the IEM CS:GO Rio Major 2022.
The organization has started to conduct an internal investigation into Igor “w0nderful” Zhdanov after the player became accused of match-fixing. The accusations against the Ukrainian were made by Alexey “yarabeu” Kurlov in a report by Richard Lewis. In the report, yarabeu, a former ESIC employee and reportedly an owner of the organization named MAJESTY, revealed that he himself paid money to w0nderful for match-fixing games during his short stint with the team.
