I agree to @TheUltraElite. There are fixed matches but mostly in esports it's not the bookies that run it but it's the players themselves. For example, there were already a lot of players that were banned by valve due to match fixing. Knowing that Valve is the owner of steam where Dota 2 currently runs and the one that organizes huge tournaments with millions of prize pools, it's a devastating ban for life for those involved players.

Im aware on these bans but these do happen on leagues or on small scale and as mentioned
"This article is a list of players banned from various notable establishments, e.g. leagues, anti-cheat systems and Valve events."
All is on match fixing and been mixed up some racial language too but these are only on small ones.
Rigged on majors and the international? I dont think so and also on big stages when a certain team does have a sign of selling out
the game then you can actually notice if youre a big fan of this.

STT is right, there are qualifiers for the majors and international for which they take advantage of it before. But now that it has became a daily living for the professional players, they don't want to bet and risk their careers with the fix matches. But I still think for the small leagues there are fix matches that happens as long as it's on the bookies. I think I just used the wrong verb, instead of "were" I've used the "are", well that's on my part so apologies with that. Before it wasn't a big thing if the players get involved with it because they were not expecting that majors and internationals will be big as it is right now.
