First Departure

Following recent investigations into various games where match-fixing was suspected we'll be disqualifying Arrow effective immediately from The Summit 2. We've been in close talks with Dota2Lounge over the past few days and tried to get as much information and evidence to make sure we make the right decision on this matter, but as a global tournament organizer we can't stand by what's been presented to us as a fixed game played between Arrow Gaming & CSW in Synergy League.

Based on Ren's investigation and our own research, we have no choice but to remove Arrow Gaming from The Summit 2. We hope other organizers will take evidence of match-fixing seriously, as it's absolute poison for the scene.

Synergy League Disqualify Arrow

Can’t Say Wips

It's very sad that SEA scene continue to be intoxicated with matchfixing. After Pinoy's scandal i was shocked, but now i just can't find words. One of my favourite teams bet on their opponents to throw a match which mattered nothing for them. Still I can say that CSW could win that match without 322 but who know it now? And the most shocking thing for me is that Arrow did it in our tournament.



We would like to allow other players to continue their dream and let them try to win such big event, but we obviously can't. That's why we disqualified Arrow Gaming from this season and banned them from the next one. Also players ddz and Lance will be banned forever. Still amnesty is possible if the players made a public apology. It's very sad that SEA scene continue to be intoxicated with matchfixing.

Whilst we are happy to announce that we will be continuing our participation in Synergy League, we don't condone nor are involved in any form of match fixing. The current situation in the SEA region is extremely saddening, but we would like to assure our fans that we will continue to try our best to win games fairly.

They then proceeded to lose the match in convincing fashion, prompting an investigation by Dota2Lounge that led to today’s subsequent disqualification.
