Is ECL a scam ?
I found a video on YouTube where former ECL participant Rachit Rojha (Youtuber/Insta Influencer) alleged that the ECL management and his team (Lucknow Lions) were involved in a scam against their players.
He claimed that the ECL auction was rigged, with some players supposedly set to receive ₹70 lakh to ₹1 crore. However in the video refuted this, stating that the league has only three pay categories A, B, and C where players receive ₹8 lakh, ₹5 lakh, and ₹2 lakh, respectively.
But even this, he alleged, is a scam, as influencer players actually receive only ₹1.2 lakh, regardless of their category. He further claimed that the entire league is built on false promises including a fake auction.
Additionally, he alleged that some matches were fixed to boost viewership and that the league actively promotes two to three betting/fantasy apps backed by its owners.
This raises serious concerns about potential match-fixing.
