A team of professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players has announced that they have cut ties with their former sponsor, CSGO.one, a skin jackpot website, amid allegations that the sponsor was demanding the team to throw a number of important online matches, according to HLTV News.

André Möller, part of the departed team, asserts that the team left their sponsor due to their noncompliance with CSGO.one's request. He further stated that with the departure, the team had rebranded itself.

"We are from today called Team Orgless after being proposed by CSGO.one to throw our upcoming games in Operation Kinguin. We want to make it clear that we are never going to accept such behavior," he said.

Möller, who was recruited by CSGO.one after the team finished third place at the ESL South East Europe Championship Season 2, has managed to help push the team towards further success.

With Möller, the team was able to qualify for the European Minor Championship, according to Game Rant. They also finished top four in the first qualifier for IE Katowice.

Valve, the developer of the popular game, has recently warned players worldwide that anyone caught throwing matches would be banned from Valve-sponsored events for life. With the news about CSGO.one's team, however, it seems to suggest that match-rigging in the professional gaming industry still exists.

Operation Kinguin, the tournament that Orgless was allegedly asked to throw, has a pretty hefty cash price, with $20,000 waiting to be won by the winning team. Despite its prolific nature, however, the event is not sponsored by Valve at all, which might be a primary reason why the alleged match throwing was suggested in the first place, reported Kotaku.

After all, with rewards going up to very significant amounts, it is not hard to imagine that a number of people would try to bend the rules to their advantage.

CSGO.one has issued a counter-statement to Orgless' allegations, however. One of the company's co-owners, who goes by the handle KoltVP, has expressly denied the accusations, suggesting that the professional players and their sponsor simply had a misunderstanding.

"We never offered or made our players do stuff like this. Organisation has to be sure in its players and their professionalism. And seems like our ex-team misunderstood us," KoltVP said, according to Top Frag.

Due to their departure from CSGO.one, Orgless currently has no sponsors. The professional players are currently looking to find a sponsor for the professional gaming industry's upcoming tournaments.
