Disqualification of RABOTYAGI Team from EPL for Owner’s Bet

Reason for Disqualification

The Dota 2 team RABOTYAGI, created by popular streamer Timur “TpaBoMaH” Khafizov, was disqualified from the European Pro League Season 25 tournament.

The reason was a violation of tournament rules: the team owner placed a 50,000 ruble bet on the victory of the opposing team, Bikini Bottom.

Match Results and Bet

The match ended with a score of 1:2 in favor of Bikini Bottom. As a result, Timur won 102,000 rubles. However, after the organizers learned about the bet, they annulled the match result and disqualified RABOTYAGI.

Travamon’s Reaction

Timur commented on the situation:

“Esports turned out to be more unpredictable than I thought. For 6 years, I’ve been helping teams decide who would go further. It turned out that I can’t do this with my own team. We were removed from the tournament, even though I couldn’t find a rule prohibiting such bets. I apologize to the team and the community.”

He also noted that he would no longer place such bets but believes that the tournament rules need improvement.

Organizers and Bookmakers’ Reaction

The organizers of European Pro League Season 25 annulled the match result. Following this, the bookmaker company BetBoom refunded all bets on the RABOTYAGI — Bikini Bottom match.

BetBoom: “Due to the cancellation of the result by the organizer, all bets on the match have been refunded.”

Conclusion

The disqualification of RABOTYAGI became one of the most high-profile incidents of the tournament. This case highlights the importance of strict adherence to rules and transparency in esports competitions.
