Original News:

The organizers of the European Pro League Season 27 have disqualified the Quantum team from the tournament. The reason was the alleged unfair play by captain Dmitry " Lukas " Davydov. The accusations were made by stand-in Krinzhik , who released a video where Lukas hints at possible match-fixing. The incident occurred during tier-2 competition matches.

Incident Timeline and Organizer Reaction
In the video published by Krinzhik , Lukas , while in voice chat after a loss, makes statements like: "We did it," "what were the odds," "message me privately." These remarks raised suspicions of intentional match-throwing. After the video was released, the European Pro League Season 27 organizers conducted an internal investigation and decided to disqualify the entire team.

According to the official statement, all collected materials will be forwarded to Valve and other tournament operators for potential action. The league emphasized the importance of adhering to fair play principles and urged other tournaments to take action if violations are confirmed.

The Need for Increased Control in Tier-2 Tournaments
Such incidents are not new to the tier-2 scene, where mechanisms for rule enforcement are often limited. Besides Valve, tournament operators themselves have the right to make disciplinary decisions, leading to inconsistency in punishment approaches. The situation with Quantum highlights the importance of more transparent regulation and continuous monitoring of matches at this level.
