Match fixing has been a prevalent issue in all Esports, and especially with the ongoing ESIC investigation for both CSGO and Valorant pros, this story may not come as a surprise. As a Valorant pro roster from Singapore has now had 2 members Germs and Dreamy banned for 3 years after fixing a match during a Valorant Ignition series.
At least one of the pros was caught betting thousands of dollars on a match in which they lost, and the remaining members of the team who all knew about the fixing but failed to inform the TO, were given punishments from 6 months to 1 year.

All match fixers should be banned for life. Even better, they should be banned from ever competing in esports at all.
Idiots.
csgo players went to valorant, got banned for 3 years.
(instantly went back to csgo)
get shit on lmao
Bro Singapore is a rich ass country LMAOO, idk why they would do that for 4K. It’s not even that much
Shanks, Marved and Tex were also involved in match-fixing while playing ESEA tournaments. How will Riot respond to that since it was in a csgo tournament?
Singapore's currency is worth less than the US dollar, but everything is way more expensive there. Cars can go up to 10 x the price that they would have in the United States.
Oh my gosh Jake. Read up on Singapore. 4K there isn’t much
singaporean here. 4K in sgd is like a month salary for a uni grad… not much money tbh
sg xiasuey
as a SG/MY player….sadge 😒
Singapore is a rich country but our esports scene is shit tier and pay are almost close to $0 so 4K is alot comparatively plus most aspiring pros gives up their esport dreams once they have to do their military service and decide that having a job is better in our Local context
i think its fine with 3 years. Its gonna keep people away from match fixing if you have a very harsh punishment
Ah yes. The IBP special. Well well well…
Singapore is quite expensive actually.
Why 36 mths,not permanent ban?
Why are you talking about Singapore like it's a poor country? It's got a higher cost of living than the USA, UK, France, Australia, Germany, South Korea, and Hong Kong. It is the country with the 10th highest cost of living in the world and the 3rd in all of Asia!
Guys, it's in the context of being an esports pro in SEA – they don't make shit despite how rich the country is.
RIOT really fucked up the punishments here. Should be perma ban for all people who had any degree of involvement. This approach they have taken will likely increase the amount of match fixes.
Living cost in Singapore is very high. Those earnings are basically a month or two wages for a fresh university grad.
Money ka-ching go skrrr
I guess nobody learned from the ibp situation lol
Germzzz Place a bet for 2k$ ++ with the same IN GAME name WTF how dumb is this guy? hahahahah
i have a question if a pro is banned is he just banned from playin or is his id is banned too?
like in sintraas case now this and many others
imagine getting 3 yr banned from the game that only alive only 1 yr
Yay
this is the type of shit that set Esports in different growing country's years behind because of avoidable and unnecessary actions like these that are prevalent in those places like cmon
At first I read the title (TEAMMATES KEKW) 😂😂
you're looking hella buff keep up the good work
As a fellow Singaporean, I would like to apologize on their behalf for being retarded and damaging the image that Singapore has built up and i hope that your image of Singapore will not change. Thank you.
A former Singaporean apex pro here. A lot of us feel that the 3 year ban given to them isn't enough and a perma ban feels more in line to what they have done. The reason as to why I think they did it is because salaries for pros here is really really low, and the cost of living here is really high. Thus they let greed take over them and did what they did. Its sad considering the amount of people who struggle to get noticed here because there are very few orgs in the country and these two idiots take the position they had for granted.
Singapore is a pretty rich country I wouldn't be surprised if the GDP per capita is higher than U.S.
Bruh why are you making Singapore sound like it's a poor country with that phrasing. "Might mean a bit more compared to others"….like ??? What's that all about lmao.
