Did Wind and Rain play fake matches at DPC: NA?
Last night, there was a match between Wind and Rain and felt at the DPC: NA Lower Division. This meeting attracted public attention because the community had suspicions that it might be a fake match.
Noticeable changes in match odds
The first thing that gets noticed is the significant odds changes before the match. The day before the scheduled meeting, bookmakers gave odds about 1.2-1.3 for the victory of Wind and Rain. But a few hours before the match, the odds increased, and on different websites, it ranged from 2.7 to 4.5.
Considering that the Wind and Rain team didn't make any announcements about the roster changes the day before the match, such a significant change in the odds looked extremely strange.
Bets cancellation
Some bookmakers stopped accepting bets on this match and canceled the match line. The main reason for that sounds like "suspicious activity."
Also, the organization Wind and Rain isn't credible due to the scandal that occurred before the start of the second season of DPC: NA. ??Raymond "AlienManaBanana" Milici accused ??Chad "Szabo666" Szabo of selling the A-Team’s slot to Wind and Rain. According to ??AlienManaBanana, right before the start of the tournament, ??Szabo666 excluded three players from the A-Team and took new teammates in their place, receiving money for this.
Tournament organization Beyond The Summit, which hosts Regional Leagues in North America, hasn't commented on the situation yet.
