Ifølge en rapport fra The Daily Dot skal amerikansk elitespilling innen Counter-Strike: Global Offensive være rammet av kampfiksing. Kilder skal ha sagt at laget iBUYPOWER skal ha tapt en kamp med vilje i august 2014, og folk med tilknytning til laget kunne angivelig satse "trygt".
Blant bevisene som har dukket opp nevnes meldinger fra det daværende medlemmet Derek Boom til kjæresten hans. Der skriver Boom blant annet at "de tapte en kamp med vilje uken før". Boom har ikke kommentert disse meldingene. I tillegg til dette skal den profilerte spilleren Duc Pham være nevnt ettersom mange av de som tjente penger på kampen skal ha tilknytning til ham. Pham benekter alle anklager.
Til slutt mener en spiller fra klanen Cloud 9, Shahzeb Khan, at han ble tipset om kampfiksingen av grunnleggeren av nettsiden Netcodeguides.com, Casey Foster:
"He made it very clear the match was going to be thrown. I didn't want to get involved with any of it but I changed my bet, as I thought would be logical at the time while also sharing this information with a friend whom I assumed to have bet the same"
"I regret first and foremost not contacting league officials and telling them what was going to happen. I didn't have all the details and didn't know any specifics as I was not the one engineering any of this. Also, given my past immaturity at the time, I wasn't sure if anyone would believe me"

Ifølge Khan skal Foster ha bedt ham holde tett om kampfiksingen:
"[If it got out] it would be a huge blow to the North American competitive CS:GO scene and cause iBUYPOWER to lose their sponsor. So I denied everything, I stayed quiet, and at the end of the day I took the heat of the crosshairs when this first surfaced months back through an article very similar to this one"
"I know I wasn't the only person to have known, but I was definitely in a position to do what was right and come forward with this information and I didn't because I was scared. I'm sorry. I've never been involved with any type of match fixing and I never will be, neither would any of us at"
Det gjenstår å se hvordan dette ender, men det er uansett positivt at det jobbes med å forhindre kampfiksing.
