coL[CGS]Warden[A] Caught Bribing! Csikos blows the whistle.

In what could be one of the most serious infringements of any tournament by one of the most reputed Counter Strike Source clans, CompLexity (coL), Warden seems to have been bribing an opposing team player to share the spoils with him and his teams had they made it to the play-offs.

As GotFrag reports, as it seems, what happened was that Steven “sasquatch” Csikos from Clan Devastation was unable to produce a demo of a match that had to be abandoned in the second half of a Source game due to some technical issues at a coL player’s end. Unable to do in 24hrs meant he and his team were clearly forfeiting. At his state of helplessness Csikos informed the tournament admin this of what happened and provided a screenshot of an IRC conversation between him and Warden.

While an IRC screenshot does not prove enough, but the log of that chat has been reproduced at GotFrag as seen below…

The End

Usually what happens in these situations is that the tournament administration suspend both teams from the tournament and impose a penalty with a fine on them. But the evidence against Warden and his team is not substantial enough to incriminate them for such a fine. However, it must be said that such things are not tolerable on professional level, and usually not expected from pro-gamers.

coL.Warden has not responded to this allegation, while Csikos had this to say,

I logged on tonight at 7 to play our final rounds of the match. I did not believe my money would be in question due to us up 5-0. I am playing on another pc at my parents house and do not have the demos. I personally have no idea about if I even have the 2nd half of it, which if I do is probably a few rounds due to me restarting due to alt tabbing and messing up my graphics. I do not remember if I restarted

Today we are talking about moneys my team wants the exact amounts. Warden keeps offering scenarios about 5k whole team ,3500 whole team, Storm with his money he should have due to him saving out etc. I ask for them to just get the demos to give them the right amounts, cevo then asks for my entire teams demos. At 9:40 i tell them I do not have the demo, the admin at that time does not make it a big deal. I even tell him I would take 3100 after winning 5-0 which due to our win is less than I would get if I had 0 dollars and won a round.

During the cevo discussion col is telling me to throw the match that they will give us 1/2 their winnings. Also, what goes around comes around in a sense. Our team elects to play the match as we do not play for money.

At 11:30 col is informed my lack of demo and refuses to play. Cevo tells me their hands are tied. - Steven “Sasquatch” Csikos
