MANILA, Philippines – Six professional players of multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game DOTA2 have resigned their posts following an investigation into allegations of match fixing between members of those two teams.



On September 25, a match between two Philippine teams – MSI and Mineski – was allegedly rigged by its members to win on betting sites.



Users bet digital items on teams to win to gain more items based on the betting site’s odds. The digital items inside DOTA2 have an approximate market value dictated by the community, which can then be sold for real money on trading sites or trading groups.
