The image shown above shows a chatlog between a Mr. Jonathan Radores, a now teamless Dota 2 Player, former members of MSIevoGT and Mineski Dota 2, and Mr. Michael Vallejos ownder and head administrator of the Online Dota 2 Trading and Betting Social Network Group, My Dota 2 Community. The rough translation of the chatlog is as follows:
Michael : Okay, you tell Jacko to tell Paseo to do his best later, but Patt will do a misspick
Jonathan: Sure, haha, all the blame on Paty?
Michael :Yes
Jonathan : They will let them pick Jacko’s Tinker? Is there anyone else that knows?
Michael : G
The screenshot was uploaded just yesterday via Facebook and the chat dates back to September 25, 2014. The supposed fixed match was for the StarLadder X SEA Qualifiers between Mineski Dota 2 and MSIevoGT.TRIC, the said match is won by Mineski 1-0.
The scandal also involved cash said to worth Php 40,000 (roughly USD
890), with each of MSIevoGT.TRIC’s players said to be paid Php 8,000
each (USD 179). No official statement has came from both the involved
parties yet, but messages has already been sent out to their
managements. It is a known fact that Mr. Jonathan Radores was also
involved in a massive Item Trading issue involving Dota 2 Keys.
We are still waiting for any statement from both the management of Mineski and MSI Evolution Gaming Team regarding the issue and will be releasing updates regarding and future developments.
UPDATE
Mr. Jonathan Radores has this statement regarding the issue:
Context Translation:
I’ll only say this once, and only once. Just to make it clear for everyone, please don’t ride on issues right way, let’s not be famwhores. Let’s listen to both sides and not just 1, first of all, my accounts got hacked, email, Facebook and Steam. Secondly, the reason why we were able to go to StarCity during Jacko’s Birthday is because of the generosity of Mr. Rodwin Sy Wang and not due to what we earned from the Throw issue just like what you’re blaming us. Please let’s not be judgmental and know the truth first.
Mr Rodwin Sy Wang is the manager for the teams Olympus Gods and Olympians Rage, and former handler of Mr. Jacko Soriano.
On the other hand, the management of MSI Evolution Gaming Team has this statement:
