The investigation into the fixing of matches of pro-level Counter Strike: Global Offensive tournaments has netted more players in the web, and led the suspensions for another 19 players by Valve from the events they sponsor. It has led to three teams, Epsilon eSports, the former ESC Gaming, and WinneR, no longer being allowed to compete in the offline qualifiers for the upcoming ESL One Katowice 2015.

To solve this, ESL One have scheduled a “last-chance tournament” for today (Feb 8th) to determined which teams will be replacing Epsilon eSports and ESC Gaming in the tournament, while the two teams who had been scheduled to play a third-place match in the second of the European qualifiers, LGB eSports and 3DMAX, have automatically been allowed to advance to take WinneR’s position in the offline qualifiers.

Of the 19 players, 14 have been given indefiniate suspensions from events that won’t be reviewed prior to 2016:

• Kevin “Uzzziii” Vernel
• Joey “fxy0” Schlosser
• Robin “GMX” Stahmer
• Morgan “B1GGY” Madour
• Damian “DiAMon” Zarski
• Michal “bCK” Lis
• Jakub “kub” Pamula
• Mateusz “matty” Kolodziejczyk
• Michal “michi” Majkowski
• Karol “rallen” Rodowicz
• Mikolaj “mouz” Karolewski
• Grzegorz “SZPERO” Dziamalek
• Pawel “innocent” Mocek
• Jacek “minise” Jeziak

The other five have just been suspended from taking part in Katowice 2015 while Valve continue their investigation:

• Robin “r0bs3n” Stephan
• Tahsin “tahsiN” Sarikaya
• Koray “xall” Yaman
• Ammar “am0” Cakmak
• Antonin “TONI” Bernhardt

Valve have revised their rules now to make it so professional players, team managers and other people involved in teams found to be involved in match fixing or giving away informationf for the purposes of influencing betting will now be suspended from Valve sponsored and organised events.
