Writing an essay about Esports gambling/racketeer

Greetings everybody,

My professor has allowed the class to write an argumentative essay about anything we'd like. I'd love to hear the VLR community's opinions on whether or not match-fixing has any solutions or deterrents. Esports is second to soccer when it comes to match manipulation via a report by SportsTradar and CS:GO lead in annual reports of suspicious matches in Esports specifically. Once again, I'd love to hear whether you agree or disagree about a solution being possible and your reasoning. I've already submitted a thesis and sources I will use therefore there will be no influential factors towards my essay (also not allowed to use opinions, just statistics and facts). I am just intriguingly curious.

That's actually interesting, maybe you could go with the comparative approach regarding how ESIC and Riot deals with fixers

can you sneak the word ratzam in your essay for fun

IBP and Ratzam

No match fixing has been attempted in val as of now (at least that I know of), mostly due to the fact that there's no incentive.

• Skins cannot be traded or sold and thus aren't necessarily rare (as its only sold in shops and no free market like steam) to increase value, thus the 'skin = money' incentive from csgo isn't in val.
• Most top players are now young players with a few vets that decided to transition from csgo for a better chance at a longer career, thus no one wants possibly ruin that future with allegations of match fixing/ cheating.
• They earn more money, even in T2 there's some good money from established organisations. Most pros end up streaming which increases their income and rep amongst the community, thus they don't need to fix matches for money.
• Competition is fierce, there's no point wasting money on match fixing if ur gonna get stomped by actual good teams in high level tourneys.

-Only possible place to match fix would be in the lower half of tier 2/upper tier 3 level of val, as most players are unknown both in streaming and pro play. Thus winning some C/B tier tourneys by match fixing would get them some exposure to established organisations who might wanna pick up some up and coming talent.

That's what I think at least and I'm probably wrong because there very well could be some players that are match fixing/ organisations that are match fixing for more clout or money.

They should implement the twitter strip challenge, so if you get caught match fixing once you have to play naked (18+ only) if you’re under 18 you can get a chocolate chip cookie
