Evidence points to widespread match-fixing driven by the Romanian lineup in Battle Arena event.
While any group could exploit this structural loop, Romanian participants are actively executing it to manipulate the elimination system, conserve resources, and farm gold.

Out of a 64-player single-elimination bracket (63 total matches), 14 total matches involve Romanian players facing one another. With 10 documented 0-score fixed forfeits, 15.87% of all matches in the entire tournament are fixed. This means that 71.43% of all matches between Romanians (10 out of 14)—excluding genuine fights like Lusha vs. iuliamaria and sergfess vs. humulus—are rigged to let through targeted players forward.
Because admin has shown no intention of intervening or investigating these obvious logs, I strongly propose that the event itself should be removed entirely to safeguard true competitive integrity.



Through these systematic forfeits, this group exploits a calculated minimum total of 4,200 Gold (averaging 420 Gold saved per non-combat match across both sides in avoided army deployment, repairs, and battle boosts) that would have otherwise been risked or lost in legitimate combat, allowing favored players to win the event solely because of favorable matchmaking setups.

Key Evidence of Non-Combat Forfeitures (10 Matches)

• gR33NnP0w3R vs. WarriorHawk (Round 1)



• mrnnastase vs. pettree (Round 1)



• nemuritoruuul vs. niksap (Round 1)



• SKELETOR vs. MrBogdan (Round 2)



• Rizonlight vs. dreamer (Round 2)



• BattleHero vs. mrnnastase (Round 2) — Fix 1 for BattleHero



• Undercover007 vs. WarriorHawk (Round 2)



• humulus vs. BattleHero (Round 3) — Fix 2 for BattleHero



• titziano vs. Lusha (Round 3) — Fix 1 for titziano



• titziano vs. SKELETOR (Round 4) — Fix 2 for titziano



• BattleHero vs. Rizonlight (Round 4) — Fix 3 for BattleHero

• BattleHero vs. titziano (Finals)

Notably, BattleHero did not have to fight at all for 3 consecutive rounds (Rounds 2, 3, and 4), walking through non-combat forfeits straight into the Semifinals without deploying a single unit or risking resources. Ironically, in a game with dozens of competitive events, this is the only event BattleHero manages to win—an outcome achieved purely through rigged free advances rather than actual skill.



Genuine Fights for Comparison

In contrast, non-collusive fights showed real competition and active engagement:

• sergfess vs. humulus (Round 2)



• Lusha vs. iuliamaria (Round 2)

• keyser_slo vs. KRATOS (Round 1) — Clean/honorable fight (neither player is from Romania)



Special acknowledgment goes to Shaddy, a Romanian player who honorably recognized these unfair tactics, agreed with the community's concerns regarding event integrity, and gave me the motivation to write this article.

Special acknowledgment also goes to BattleHero and Undercover007, whose attempts to paint black as white gave me the power to keep on fighting for a fair game.
