A Semi-pro Valorant player from Singapore who goes by the name “Gremsg” has been accused of Match-fixing and betting where he jeopardized his own matches in order to gain profit. This whole situation has been brought under light by another Valorant player “Calel” who detailed the entire situation via Google Docs.

In the document, Calel blew his cover by providing the community with every proof available including WhatsApp chats with the guilty alongside the invoices from the bets placed. Even he has attached the scoreboard of the specific matches which were intentionally lost by the player during this entire process. Epulze Royal SEA cup was the tournament and a part of the Valorant Ignition series where Gremsg has been caught and reportedly turned the odds in his opponent’s favor. The event was exclusively for the South East Asian region where a prize pool of $25,000 USD was up for grabs and was held in September 2020.

In the Docs, Calel stated,

I am writing this to bring attention to a semi-professional Singaporean player who had match-fixed in a VALORANT Ignition Series game during the time which he played under professional esports organization Resurgence.

According to Calel, Gremsg previously used to play for Resurgence before joining his new team “Team 600” Via a series of WhatsApp chats, Calel was made known about the former’s betting activities, which did insist on the fact that his teammates and his manager had no clue of the same. A match-up against BlackBird Ignis has been reported for Foul play as the Singaporean has been suspected to have fixed the same.

Currently, Riot and Gremsg haven’t responded to this situation as the latter continues to actively play for Team 600. We might soon expect a reply from both parties as the game developer is known to have a zero-tolerance policy for any sort of Foul Play initiated while competing. In the past too, Riot has imposed strict decisions on players who intended to go rogue.
