I starten af 2015 smed CSGO Lounge en sand bombe på Counter-Strike scenen, da de konkluderede, at myRevenge (nuværende KILLERFISH) var involveret i matchfixing i forbindelse med deres kamp mod volGare. Holdet blev udelukket fra CSGO Lounge, og Valve tog det yderligtgående skridt at udelukke dem fra kvalifikationen til ESL One Katowice.
Valve efterforsker stadig sagen, mens CSGO Lounge igen har sat holdets kampe på programmet. Men nu er den gal igen. Ifølge en talsperson fra CSGO Lounge, Robert "ML" Yakubovski, har over 100 accounts max bettet på holdets kampe fra samme IP-adresse, og samtlige bets er blevet vundet.
Recently we've been tracking the betting patterns behind all matches Killer Fish are involved in. What we found was very suspicious activity, with over 100 accounts max betting either for or against them - and winning the bet with 100% accuracy. These betting accounts were all on the same i.p. and seems very suspicious to us - so much so, that we feel uncomfortable hosting any of Killer Fish's games going forward. We hope you understand our decision to protect the CS:GO scene and the integrity of CSGOLounge.
Det ser meget mistænksomt ud, men ifølge Antonin "TONI" Bernhardt har ingen af spillerne fra holdet noget med sagen at gøre. Han efterlyser ligefrem hjælp til at finde frem til personen bag de store bets. HLTV.org har fanget spilleren, som blandt andet udtaler følgende:
Now, this whole disaster happens again as we are accused of being involved with a nameless bettor who unfortunately places insanely high bets on a high amount of CSGOLounge tracked matches of us. Since this single bettor apparently made so many max bets with over 100 accounts from the same ip and had a 100% winrate in our matches, we can understand CSGOLounge's worries. My team and I kindly ask CSGOLounge to provide more information about this bettor: for example, the number of our matches he bet on and preferably his name, so that we can get in contact with him/Her. Moreover, we kindly ask everyone who reads this to provide information about the person behind the crazy bets or maybe the bettor himself/herself can help us out by saying we have no ties with him/her. We would be highly grateful for it.

Det tyskprægede mandskab er endnu ikke blevet udelukket fra nogle turneringer, mens Valve heller ikke har offentliggjort, om de går ind i sagen eller ej.
