Hello there!
Tell me please is it true thatin CS:GO players can agree on the outcome of the game and thereby falsify the final? or is it just a rumor? Thanks
Do you mean match fixing? it happened long time ago and that served as a lesson for the players that remains in the competitive scene of CS:GO. Note that I'm not that too updated with CS:GO because this is not my niche but I also play this game and be aware that this happened in other esports and sporting events too. There's a history of the banned players and you can have a look who are those people and how and the reason why they were banned. And some of them because of match fixing.

It's almost not happening anymore because the whole esports industry thing is getting wider and wider as it goes by so, the athletes or mainly the competitive and professional players are serious with their careers and won't allow themselves to be involved in this kind of scheme.
The teams or players that becomes part of this scheme lately are the rising talents or in short, the newly born talents with potential and it's been put into waste.
I guess match-fixing still occurs, it's being done pretty clean nowadays so that nobody can assess that kind of scheme. Not only in CS:GO, but also in other eSports tournaments, particularly in MOBA. Before they qualify for an international competition, every region competes for a slot. So if a strong team is able to exploit the entire bracket by match-fixing, they will select which team to represent the country with them in the international tournament. It's a cheap tactic to be used due to the extreme desperation of winning an international league with a huge pot.
Sorry to hear that it still exists and works just on small games. It was the place where I wanted to bet, because world tournaments are not held every day.
Okay, I think I will try and draw my conclusions. Thank you very much!
