Robin "GMX" Stahmer has revealed that Epsilon lost an ESEA Invite match against OverGaming on purpose.

Robin "⁠GMX⁠" Stahmer, who was removed by Epsilon earlier in the week, claims that his former team lost their ESEA S17 match against OverGaming on September 21 on purpose to make a profit on CSGOLounge.

Nothing was at stake in this match as neither team could reach the LAN Finals, and despite the fact that CSGOLounge's odds were favouring Epsilon (54% to OverGaming's 46%), they were thrashed 3-16 by the Spanish team on de_inferno.



GMX turned on his former team after being removed

Not a single Epsilon player placed a bet on this match, but GMX claims that he and his former team-mates profited by receiving skins from friends, some of them well-known figures in the scene, including Morgan "⁠B1GGY⁠" Madour, Toma "⁠akeR⁠" Radovic and Steeve "⁠Ozstrik3r⁠" Flavigni.

B1GGY, who is currently playing for Epsilon as a stand-in, turned in a $216 profit after betting almost $188 worth of skins, while Ozstrik3r placed one of his only three bets on this particular match.

"First of all, I want to thank the Epsilon organization, its director and the staff members who truly are great people," Stahmer told vakarm.net. "They always supported me and my team mates since June. The Epsilon staff was not aware of what I’m about to say. I want to apologize to them, and to all the community for what I’m about to say. There are things you regret, and this is the case. "In last September, we deliberately lost our ESEA match against OverGaming in order to win skins for ourselves and for friends of us. All of my team mates and some of their friends were aware of this. "We however did not planned this together, and every player acted on his own to get their skins back. I won some skins via a friend on this match, and I know some of my team mates also won skins."

HLTV.org is trying to reach out to Epsilon for a comment on this story, so more developments are expected shortly
