Jourdan ' ' is a player of Mahameru and also bet against himself on nxtgame. Gunawan ' Spica ' Leman also used to play multiple games for Mahameru in the past. In this match however he was standing in for zL as S2 which we identified - based on multiple sources - to be a smurf account of his. Spica bet on zL with two different accounts on nxtgame (one account connected to the smurf, and a second one connected to his main steam account).

Mahameru is disqualified from joinDOTA League #8 and their division 2 slot is lost.



The match is closed with a 0:0 score (basically counting as a loss for both teams).



All other matches of Mahameru count as a 0:2 default loss.



SPACEMAN, Oclaire, as well as Spica are banned from joinDOTA League and all joinDOTA related competitions for four seasons (= ~one year)



The remaining players of Mahameru (Bigfat, XoT, FeuruFyuria) are excluded from the running season.



Benclung is also banned from the current season

At least four involved persons have placed bets on the winning team, Zero Latitude, most of them on the SEA betting website nxtgame.com.Overall Spaceman, Oclaire, and Spica have won items worth about 300 Dollars by betting against their own team. Investigations by nxtgame have proven the connection of these bets to said players via their steam ids.Our investigations have led us to the very safe assumption that at least two members of Mahameru (Spaceman and Oclaire) had no intention of winning the match against zL, while Spica (who stood in for zL) was also inducted. These players have clearly broken important rules of both joinDOTA League and nxtgame. Matchfixing cases like this (also see the Arrow Gaming incident last year for comparison) are punished by us with a one year ban. An involvement of the other members of Mahameru.id could not be proven thus far. These players are temporarily excluded until the end of the seasons as further investigations on the case are still ongoing. However they will presumably be allowed to participate in the next season.As for zL player Benclung, his actions seem unrelated to the matchfixing and are therefore handled seperately. Betting on oneself is by far not as bad as doing the opposite (which ultimately led to his lighter punishment), however it still violates betting rules to do so. We want to point out that we don't approve any kind of betting on matches that a person is involved in himself.
