First off, Thanks CCP for making another great tournament and all in all, I liked the campaign.


But these bets are killing - as in every sport that has bets in it - the game itself.

How hydra is betting against themselves on match 3 and 4.

They'll probably will win the last match still but that looked fake and it's damn logical too.

1:0 Hydra's odds are higher but play safe to and give it all and actually win and make it 2:0

2:0 Hydra's odds are now much higher, meaning the bets against them are paid equally well, so what they do? Simple right?

2:1 Odds didn't change way to much, so they try and keep the entertaining part high and want to go for the last match and target call stuff like a rattlesnake when there's much better stuff on field. but that's not just entertainment right?

2:2 > My prediction is that this fight might be the one they - as in hydra - isn't going to throw and go and try to win against PL. Odds are also becoming better for Hydra too. So they might just go and bet on themselves and actually try to play the game.

that's rather meh. I thought I stop watching professional football because leagues are ****** with bettings and hoped this tournament would stay clean, but the human being is capable to destroy all of it. It all ends in the same in every aspect and entertainment.

The target calling from Hydra in the 4th match was so abysmally and obviously bad, it had to be on purpose from a team like that, so yeah.

I hope at least not the whole final is fixed and they try their best in the final match... and lose.

You realise Hydra gave Exodus our setup to try to beat us and knock us out of final right?

If what I have wrote might look like I'm taking sides of any of the finalists, I'm not.

It's the system I am critisizing. Of course it's not easily to beat, but endorsing bets? CCP, can't you just leave out bet-ads out of the tournament? That would be at least a MOVE against bets and with bets against rigging matches (and yes I know there were rigged matches like 5-6 years ago) It's like the B-win jerseys of Real Madrid. Bad move.
