PGL Wallachia Season 1 scandal: players claiming fraud

Samuel "Sammyboy" Anderson, the carry for LEVIATAN, accused of fraud during a match against BOOM Esports in the qualifiers for PGL Wallachia Season 1. The scandalous situation arose due to a map remake.

The corresponding statement was posted by the esports player on his Twitter page.

"Today we had a map remake against BOOM Esports after 38 minutes of the game because Pakazs disconnected and couldn't reconnect. After waiting for over 50 minutes, the admin decided to remake. In an attempt to clarify the situation, I asked several questions, and he literally misled us about the entire procedure"

According to the pro player, his team was losing throughout the game, but at the last moment, they made a decisive strike, completely wiping out the enemy team. Positioned near the enemy T2 tower in the center of the map, LEVIATAN had a creep wave approaching the enemy T1 tower from below.

If there hadn't been a pause, they would have continued pressing on the T3 and tried to force the enemy to use their buybacks.

"When the game was remade, we didn't have creep waves. They didn't spawn for 30 seconds. All opponents were alive, and we couldn't force buybacks. This remake put us in an extremely disadvantageous position. Anyone can open the replay and see how much we lost"

Furthermore, Sammyboy emphasized that the opponents were not supposed to move until the admin's team, but BOOM Esports started doing so before his instruction.

He noted that this is not an unsubstantiated claim, and anyone can see it in replay ID 7656780048.

"This is blatant fraud, in my opinion. I hope something will be done about it to prevent such incidents from happening to others in the future"

It's worth noting that the match ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of BOOM Esports, and the game restart happened on the decisive third map. After that, LEVIATAN dropped to the lower bracket of the closed qualifiers PGL Wallachia Season 1.
