His team did lose, and Berezin won $322, but there were some suspicious elements to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>The team put on a \u201csuspiciously horrible performance\u201d, which has led to a lifetime ban for Solo, along with 3-year bans for his teammates, BzzIsPerfect, Yol, Dread, and dnq, and a one-year ban for the RoX.KIS organisation.<\/p>\n<p>The team has said that the claims are false, and that the \u201cevidence base is very uncertain in this case\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>ROX.Kis also claim that Solo\u2019s Skype account was hacked, making it possible that his personal information was stolen and the bet made with his egamingbets account.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the game stream below &#8211; can you spot anything suspicious?<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o4QhMjZ7lQM\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joindota.com\/en\/news\/9989-update-rox-kis-issues-statement\" target=\"_blank\">JoinDota.com<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/55248-duke-nukem-dev-sues-gearbox.html\">Duke Nukem dev sues Gearbox<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/55165-michael-bay-to-develop-ghost-recon-movie.html\">Michael Bay to develop Ghost Recon movie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/55270-gran-turismo-6-on-display-at-sa-top-gear-festival.html\">Gran Turismo 6 on display at SA Top Gear Festival<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/55251-disc-based-market-crumbling-the-numbers-dont-add-up-says-bleszinski.html\">Disc-based market \u201ccrumbling\u201d; the numbers don\u2019t add up says Bleszinski<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dota 2 player accused of betting on his own team to lose competitive match<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":55372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,1769,637,2218,697],"class_list":["post-55371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-controversy","tag-dota","tag-dota-2","tag-valve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55371"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55376,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55371\/revisions\/55376"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
