The Story of Skadoodle

There’s that tired cliche that assumes the quietest person in the room is the most dangerous and like every cliche, its kernel of truth has become a soupy mess that’s lost all meaning.
But on this rare occasion, that saying could not be more real.
His name is Skadoodle, and this is his story.

Skadoodle replaced Shazam on C9 so the snitch got stitches in the end

It was pretty easy to tell that IBP threw the match though. However, Valve needed proof so I'm happy that Shazham got swapped for Skadoodle.

[@jacquesl9972]

@@NobuNobuSimp Shazam wasn't the main source of the proof. It was an angry ex-gf of a player who wasn't even on iBuyPower and was just in on the betting. Cringe all around in that scenario.

[@mozarella_cheese]

Props to Shahzam, got out of csgo and dominated in valorant

[@carrot5610]

honestly watching this back again a thought has come to me, what if ska was the one who admitted to it? in return for immunity to the punishments. 7/10 players from the two teams were banned, shazam first leaked it and never got punished for it, and while theres no proof about ska and the other player why did they magically escape the ban when the others were handed permanents. you'd think that valve would maybe give them timed bans for being involved but not profiting instead of just letting them go free of charge

[@munch6814]

I do think Ska DID have, atleast SOME part in the match-fixing too, but in the later years of his career, the humble nature he has shown, it can only be that Ska took his exception from the permaban as a gift and kinda swore never to go on that path again.

[@deciphertwentythree7726]

He did have a part in it I think valve knew it they just did not want to give him a verdict because he did not receive skins. The major evidence that valve was able to justify the ban was the skins. So no skin = no ban. I do believe Skadoodle did not want to match fix because as steel stated skas skins were a lil bit late and when it was ready ska just said "nah" he knew it was wrong he just couldn't disagree with his teammates when they wanted to match fix. It's like when we were 15 and our friends would drink alcohol and even though we don't want it we go right ahead because all your friends are in on it.
