CSGOLounge has released a statement regarding the betting scandal involving Virtus.pro and LDLC.com.

On Wednesday, Virtus.pro and LDLC replayed their FACEIT Spring League 2014 match, with the French team eventually running out 16-7 winners to move up to second in the table.

There were no streams to follow the match live as FACEIT had another previously scheduled match at the same time Virtus.pro and LDLC agreed on playing this contest, which was yesterday at 19:00 .



Oblivious to the fact that the match had already been played out, CSGOLounge's admins kept all bets open until 23:00 , which was supposed to be the time of the match, due to a misscommunication between them and the FACEIT admins.

It turned out that some players from both teams had decided to place bets on the game, this way getting a free pass to a sure win as they already knew the outcome of the match. According to Robert "ML" Yakubovski of CSGOLounge, Jarosław "pasha" Jarząbkowski, for example, made $450 worth of skins.

Below you can find the statement from CSGOLounge, who hope that, by going public over this matter, they will prevent further incidents like this from happening.
