Valve Bans High-Profile Match-Fixers, Valve's Role in ESports

The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive North American scene has a number of top professional players barred from entry into Valve sponsored events due to evidence linking them to Matchfixing for profit in a game between NetcodeGuides and iBuyPower. In this video I discuss Valve’s role in the ESports scene, and how I believe it should be expanded in order to maintain the integrity of the game itself.

Understand that this video is just my opinion, and is meant to encourage discussion about the topic, especially if you disagree. It’s time we had this discussion folks.
