PixelFire Gaming CEO Leon-Luca "VirtualHeart" Beiderwieden has explained that CSGO.one's management was unaware that the team had been asked to fix online matches by their manager.

Last week, CSGO.one witnessed the departure of their CS:GO team, with the players claiming that they had been asked by the owners of the skin jackpot website to throw matches in Operation: Kinguin #2.

The team went on to join PixelFire Gaming, who remained in contact with CSGO.one in an effort to solve the dispute between the players and the skin website.

In a statement, Beiderwieden has now revealed that the person who approached the players about the possibility of losing a match on purpose was simply a team manager, who has since been fired by CSGO.one. The PixelFire chief insists that the management of the skin jackpot company had no knowledge of the actions of this individual.

"The players provided me with evidence about their former manager going rogue and clearly offering them to throw one of their upcoming matches," Beiderwieden stated. "I was reached by CSGO.one's owner shortly afterwards, and I was more than happy to assist him in his investigation. "After getting all the details together there was no doubt that CSGO.one was not aware of such actions and never authorized them. "We are happy to announce that there is no dispute between the players and CSGO.one anymore. It would be unfair if shady actions of one unexperienced employee affected the whole organization, so we are glad to assist in restoring the good name of CSGO.one after the controversy. "PixelFire Gaming will keep conquering the scene and we are looking forward to facing the new CSGO.one squad in a friendly game at some point in the future!"

In a Twitlonger post, CSGO.one owner Dmitry Milyaev echoed Beiderwieden's statement and added that he is looking for a new team to sponsor. The skin jackpot website can be reached by email at team@csgo.one.

PixelFire's team will be in action this weekend at the PGL European Minor Championship, in Bucharest, where eight teams will fight for their part of a $50,000 prize pool and a spot at the MLG Columbus 2016 Main LAN Qualifier.
