World number one Thomas Mees has been suspended from all future tournaments after reportedly agreeing to take a £261,000 GTV bribe to lose maps.
World EC chairman KILLERBOY said he had to take "drastic action" following the News of the World report.
The paper says it has video of Meez and manager Lauren "Pansy" Scott making a deal.
There is no suggestion Meez has ever thrown a map or fixed a match and he said: "I have never been involved in any form of EC match-fixing."
The newspaper's video reportedly shows Mr Meez and Ms Scott meeting with an undercover reporter in Kiev, Ukraine, and agreeing to alter the outcome of maps in return for GTV money.
In response to the allegations, Mr Meez released a statement protesting his innocence, stating: "My conscience is 100% clear.
"In my 18 years playing professional Enemy Territory I have never deliberately missed a shot, never mind intentionally lost a map or a match."
Later on Sunday Mr Meez admitted he was facing "the biggest match of my life".
"It's not the EuroCup that's at stake, it's something even more important, my reputation," he said.
