stone geode
#

but its the organizers fault

jolly crane
#

apparently liquid also left the room during a break

#

at some point

stone geode
#

rigged

jolly crane
#

but ye just overall bad situation and shaky decisionmaking

jolly crane
#

god rtz

#

why is he farming

#

in front of enemy t2 with global up and no manta

stone geode
#

experienced carry player

jolly crane
#

only experience he has is never winning anything

#

hahahahaha

#

watching rtz

#

in this teamfight

#

i cant

stone geode
#

has there ever been an NA carry that was good

jolly crane
#

fear

#

he played a very sacrificial carry role

stone geode
jolly crane
#

but that tends to work out

#

was same for notail in OG

#

both won TI peepoShrug

#

if you have a starplayer in mid like miracle/sumail, you just sac your carry and play around your mid instead and it tends to work

#

same with nisha

#

or maybe

stone geode
#

yeah, its a team game and you make it work

jolly crane
#

hahahaha

#

rtz

#

no TP

#

oh it got cancelled

#

nvm

stone geode
#

are they losing this again

jolly crane
#

its funny cuz

#

fly insta TPs

#

on that global

#

rtz farms ancients

#

gets tp cancelled

stone geode
#

now that im unsubbed from wow again I kinda want to play a bit of dotka

#

but its such a complex game

jolly crane
#

alch throwing

#

hitting the morph

#

instead of the ember with 20% hp next to him

stone geode
#

ench is bigger than the mars now

#

all gold is on alch

#

SR probably got this now

jolly crane
#

i believe in shopify

#

to throw this game

#

dont understand why alch doesnt have a basher

#

love how casters just arent talking about

#

the storm just dying

stone geode
#

📷

#

???

jolly crane
#

there we go

#

may not be EG in name anymore but the whendidegthrowlast curse follows htem

stone geode
#

if morph dies there too

jolly crane
#

still think

#

alch should get abyssal

stone geode
#

yeah if they kill ember fast they just steamroll

#

they chase him with bkb up for half the fight

#

what would he drop though, silver edge?

jolly crane
#

radi

#

once hes omega farmed the radi loses value

#

what mars

#

no detection

#

losing them the fight

stone geode
#

throw vs throw

jolly crane
#

ye they win that if someone actually has detection

#

but that glimmer is getting too much value

#

well

#

shopify

#

dunno if that

#

alch buy was necessary

#

kinda feel it wasnt

stone geode
#

you think they kill the morph without?

jolly crane
#

ye

#

he has manta cd

#

mars/clock/silencer

#

hes full str morph when he comes out of aegis

#

agianst vessel and battery assault+mars

#

BC gonna throw game now

#

okay he somehow survives

stone geode
#

detection

jolly crane
#

tower was glyphed

stone geode
#

he just silver edge walked out

jolly crane
#

i cant clip

#

cuz twitch is dogshit

#

so i cant see

#

like

#

he just walks out with tower still alive

#

theyre not killing the ench

#

runs away with 10% hp

stone geode
#

how did nobody die there on SR

jolly crane
#

bad target selection

stone geode
#

this feels like a true LB match

#

who throws more

jolly crane
#

ye

#

deserved win for SR but no thanks to rtz like

#

how is one man so bad at carrying

#

but ye darkmago trhew that fight in triangle

#

trying to kill teh fucking sky

#

and failing

#

instead of jumping back in to finish off the ench

#

ill never understand why these proplayer alchemists dont buy shard tho

#

in a late game situation likethat

#

like

#

he has 3k gold and no shard

#

youd think a strong dispel would be good against sky/ember/ench

#

he got it at the very end but dont think he used it once

stone geode
#

wish the twitch player was like youtube live

#

you can insta look back and then go back to live

jolly crane
#

Well you can with alt twitch player

#

But it still sucks

jolly crane
#

I can't

#

I just can't

stone geode
#

morph

manic ermine
#

I don't think bc draft can keep up

#

It's Shopifys games to throw

humble yew
#

the resources you have to pull to kill that shit

#

will always baffle me even after all those games played

worn drift
#

Shopify kekman

#

Idk i dont ever expect a team with saberlight to win

#

Abed needs to gtfo

#

Hes too good

#

To stay in this team

manic ermine
#

Classic throw

thorny fiber
#

Some russian journo made it up

humble yew
#

was a hoax y

thorny fiber
#

Same guy that said 33 was on Spotify

worn drift
#

Resolution going to stand in for pure

rugged cipher
#

he always find a way to ti

worn drift
thorny fiber
#

Respect the hustle

stone geode
#

so pure banned then?

thorny fiber
#

How long until permabanned

worn drift
#

Idk i still doubt someone would be bold/stupid enough to just try to cheat by opening stream during break like obviously it compromises competitive integrity but fucking ruling the match as an auto loss and banning the player is just weird

jolly crane
#

it was 100% unintentional

#

you can see him pull up the browser with the stream still open and the second he realizes he closes it again

#

game was paused, there was no content going on on the stream at the time, nix had like a bunch of comedians on the show during the break. but people hate pure so theyre asking for heads to roll

jolly crane
#

that aint dota or steam or teamspeak

#

same match, same break

worn drift
#

Its just kinda nuts to me that like

#

At last ti there was so much compromise of competitive integrity yet no steps were really taken until the end

jolly crane
#

obviously having a stream open is a lot more severe but like... lets not pretend that this is a major clusterfuck regardless

#

and its really obvious from pures reaction that he realized "fuck" and instantly closed it again

worn drift
#

And then bb has a player open a stream during a fucking uber long break

#

And the entire team gets fucked in the ass for it + a player banned from the tourny

#

Probably close to 0 analysis was done to see if there was actually even any pertinent info being talked about/shown during that time on the stream

manic ermine
#

The punishment for the entire team is too harsh yeah

worn drift
#

If anything actually had any bearing on the games result

rugged cipher
#

losing ti qual points needed also despair

thorny fiber
#

I mean the fact that he had a browser open in the first place is probably bannable

#

Let alone a stream of the game

jolly crane
#

like, hes talking to his teammate, he alt-tabs cuz its a fucking break, sees stream was still open, immediately tabs back to game

worn drift
#

Imo that is a failure of the org/refs

#

A guy having a browser open

#

If thats been open during the game

thorny fiber
#

He had it running in the background, even if he only glances at it in the video evidence available. He doesn’t shut it down

worn drift
#

That is a bigger question to the org

jolly crane
thorny fiber
#

I mean it’s on the player to follow the rules as well

manic ermine
#

Reso no longer in the pannel sadly

worn drift
#

Idk

#

the fact ik there was no real investigating done

#

Just zzz

thorny fiber
#

It’s not the orgs fault some dumbass is on twitch during games

worn drift
#

They deserved that series lol

jolly crane
#

ye

worn drift
#

And it wasn’t cuz he watched some 5 sec of a stream

thorny fiber
#

Yea they did, but blame pure if anyone

worn drift
#

Not even

jolly crane
#

i honestly believe its an understandable mistake. a mistake that should come with consequences. but this aint it

worn drift
#

Their worst punishment should have been rewinding the series to a 1-0 if tundra even accepted

thorny fiber
#

I mean it’s 5 seconds of a 10 sec video

#

Possible it’s not 5 seconds total

#

And they have to crack down on stuff like this because even if the stream has delay it’s a big red flag to have twitch streams open during tournament games

#

Admins should do a better job but how dumb must you be to do that

jolly crane
#

then they could come out with a statement "after reports of a player engaging in rulebreaking behavior we investigated and found many more violations of our rule, specifically sections XYZ and ABC. as a result we have no choice but to dsiqualify the player for the rest of the tournament, and grant tundra a 2-0 default victory"

jolly crane
#

you sit in your room all day

#

waiting for the other series to finish

worn drift
#

I really dont think its dumbness its just muscle memory lol

jolly crane
#

obviously you watch a stream of that series prior to the game

worn drift
#

Bored as fuck

#

Boot up chrome

#

Click twitch icon

#

Click your fav streamer

jolly crane
#

then its your turn to play, you mute stream and get into game mode

#

and completely forget about it

thorny fiber
#

Wdym, ur in a major esports tournament for a short amount of time. You have to use brain for 2 hours and adhere to the rules. Any serious competitor will know the rules

jolly crane
#

2hrs?

#

theyve been playing this tourney for 2weeks, 14hrs straight

worn drift
#

Ye unironically what seli just described probably happened KEKW

thorny fiber
#

It was already booted tho, he didn’t start the browser in the clip

#

Running in the background

jolly crane
#

well yeah

#

what do you do

worn drift
#

Ye i mean he probably had it on after watching previous series

jolly crane
#

when you watch a tv series or a stream

#

and your raid starts

#

do you close your browser

thorny fiber
#

Maybe I have higher expectations of the players, it’s stupid as shit

jolly crane
#

or do you just mute/stop it

worn drift
#

I actually dont doubt what seli just painted is exactly what happened lmao

jolly crane
#

and tab into your main game

#

and then theres a raid break and you absentmindedly tab back to your browser mid-break

worn drift
#

He was probably just afk watching series and preping for their match and didn’t wanna watch cringe main casts ICANT

thorny fiber
#

Yea except I am not competing for potentially millions of dollars when I raid

jolly crane
#

yeah, it could be really fucking bad

#

or it could be nothing

worn drift
#

I just wish they actually just did an investigation instead of slamming the hammer

jolly crane
#

point is, if you banish him and take away a fully deserved victory over it because theres a CHANCE of it being used in a much more severe way

worn drift
#

Like do they really think he was sitting their listening to a stream with delay trying to get info to act on

jolly crane
#

then why arent you acting against the other player who has shown to also not adhere to the rules, and using third-party software that could potentially provide external information hes not supposed to have

thorny fiber
#

But you’re just assuming the worst, always dk, you’re saying they did no investigation as if it’s a fact when nobody knows because they aren’t very open about it

worn drift
#

Eh

jolly crane
#

cuz they dont have to, cuz its pure, and the guy is already a persona non grata

thorny fiber
worn drift
#

I think if they actually investigated the punishment wouldn’t be of this severity

thorny fiber
#

How do you know that?

#

Maybe it’s even worse than ppl see in the clip

worn drift
#

Bcuz i dont think players are that fucking stupid these days to try to cheat thru a fucking twitch stream lmao

#

Especially thru caster commentary

thorny fiber
#

Well who knows? He is dumb enough to boot it up during a tournament game

jolly crane
#

theres multiple points of failure:

  1. how can they even open anything other than the selected software in the first place
  2. how did the admins not catch it (although im sympathetic to this one)
  3. how do you make a half-assed decision of dropping them to LB instead of DQing them entirely, fucking over another team in the process (AR)
  4. how are you not consistent in your punishment
worn drift
#

Or he already had it booted up and the referee should have told him to turn it off

#

And he forgot

#

And its the referees job to make sure shit like that doesnt happen if ppl forget

#

Ah interesting

jolly crane
#

these people sit in those chairs 14hrs a day, and play a single 2-3hr series anywhere in between them. ofc theyre gonna do other shit that isnt just dota2/teamspeak/steam during that time, the question is why arent they forced to shutdown all applications by the admins

#

but you also cant blame the admin like

worn drift
#

It sounds like they didn’t actually kick pure off the tourny and azure ray actually said they won’t play the match unless pure doesnt play

#

Lmao

jolly crane
#

how is one guy supposed to look at 5 screens

worn drift
#

Azure ray huge pussies kekman

jolly crane
#

nah

thorny fiber
#

Its interesting, you assume he did absolutely no wrong and that Valve decided to just ban a player for no good reason. You have 0 evidence of this but play it off like it’s a fact. I doubt they have some kind of agenda against Pure, he served his old ban

jolly crane
#

valve has no say in this tho push

#

the decision to defwin the series and ban comes from the TO

thorny fiber
#

Who did what doesn’t matter

#

Change valve to x company name

jolly crane
#

a TO that bears a large responsibility in this mess

#

cuz it is their job to ensure shit like this cant happen in the first place.

thorny fiber
#

Yes

jolly crane
#

but it happened so, wcyd

#

gotta make a call, i think the call they made is bad tho, and if they make this call, they gotta apply it consistently

thorny fiber
#

But the players are hopefully told the rules beforehand

worn drift
#

I mainly hope they just shit on AR rn 2-0 just cuz they did that cringe shit

#

We wont play unless pure doesn’t play ICANT

jolly crane
#

ye

#

i fully understand that

#

how do you void a match result but not ban the player

manic ermine
#

Ar picking ODRHstudy

jolly crane
#

i feel bad for pure tho

#

cuz i genuinely believe there was no malicious intent whatsoever

thorny fiber
#

Personally I think it’s quite obvious you shouldn’t be on twitch. Doesn’t require a megabrain, blaming it on being bored is not a valid argument imo. He is playing for a TI spot, “you had 1 job”

jolly crane
#

was just a mistake. a big one.

#

i mean he has 5000 jobs, ensuring that no software is running on the backend kinda isnt his job, its the TOs lol

thorny fiber
#

I bet they asked for it to be unlocked, because it’s probably the same computer as they play on between games

jolly crane
#

what do you think his mind is occupied with when their series is about to come up, the hour long prep they did for their opponent, or checking if his browser is still running/has a stream up

stone geode
#

all because there is no stage

thorny fiber
#

I don’t think there is an excuse for it, sorry

worn drift
#

Ye this no stage shit is so garbage

#

Idk what they are thinking these days

thorny fiber
#

Money

jolly crane
#

not saying theres no excuse for it, just saying theres an explanation

worn drift
#

Fucking economy class majors

jolly crane
#

one that isnt "lmao he tried to cheat"

thorny fiber
#

Nah he probably did not try to cheat, it’s still dumb

worn drift
#

Ye i think saying he tried to cheat is a 3head take

jolly crane
#

its a fuckup, no question about it, and a severe one. but imo, not one that warrants voiding the series/removing the player

worn drift
#

Any1 thinking he was actually cheating just hates the guy cuz of the z lmao

thorny fiber
#

They spent all their money on the resort

#

Nothing left for arena, admins

jolly crane
#

what did it just say in chat

#

lmao

#

betboom shittalking

worn drift
#

I didnt see, on phone with discord and twitch open

thorny fiber
#

I do think they should provide a longer explanation for the ban

jolly crane
#

why AR is forcing admins to remove the player

#

"i used to respect you"

worn drift
#

Screenshot?

jolly crane
#

torontotokyo

thorny fiber
#

Ofc it is

stone geode
#

well at least BB is in riyadh so if they lose they have a chance to get points then

jolly crane
#

Why you guys force admin to disqualify Pure? You scared fight our full roster? Sad, I respected you

thorny fiber
jolly crane
#

i think asking for pure to be DQed is appropriate under the circumstances

#

i dont think they shoudlve even voided the series tho

thorny fiber
#

They are probably setting a precedent for it

worn drift
#

Ye i mean they should also ban 33 from the tourny at this point

#

Or tundras next opponent should request him to be removed

thorny fiber
#

It seems the steam, Dota 2 and teamspeak rule isn’t very well known

stone geode
#

arguably playing bangers during play is more of a help than checking a stream for 5 sec

jolly crane
#

imo best solution for this shit wouldve been:
-full draft penalty for betboom rest of the tourney
-withholding pures prizemoney he wins from the tourney
-apologize for not ensuring that non-game/communication software is running
-draft penalty for tundra in their next series

stone geode
#

DQ tundra imo

thorny fiber
#

It could be that he asked if he was allowed to listen to music during the game

#

Cus it’s quite obvious he is on Spotify

#

Which breaks the same rule pure did

jolly crane
#

ye and like

#

people saying "its just spotify"

#

he could very well be listening to a live podcast of the game

#

or have a private one set up from a coach or outsider

#

giving him full info

#

its not like you cant cheat that way...

rugged cipher
#

would not be a problem if it was a proper lan with game pcs and practice area

jolly crane
#

if you wanted to

rugged cipher
#

now they just huddled in hotel rooms and do everything on same comps

stone geode
thorny fiber
#

Nah the organization has been shit, very nice place etc but underwhelming otherwise

jolly crane
#

so it ends up being a discussion of whether there was intent to cheat, and if you cant prove that for 33, you cant prove it for pure unless you have a proper investigation (at which point youd need to be transparent about it)

thorny fiber
#

I mean I don’t think they banned him based on a Reddit thread

jolly crane
#

15deny lina

thorny fiber
#

Surely they did their own investigation, looking at more footage from the game

jolly crane
thorny fiber
#

Who are the organizers

#

What org

jolly crane
#

epulze

thorny fiber
#

Is it anti russian

#

Ye it’s Swedish, could be anti-russians

jolly crane
#

no idea

#

someone said they have some tie-ins with the betboom org

thorny fiber
#

It is a Valve major tho right

jolly crane
#

ye

thorny fiber
#

All major organizers are licensed by Valve

jolly crane
#

ye

#

fucked up situation

#

couldve been handled a lot better, sadly

#

i feel bad for pure

stone geode
#

so do BB need to win 2 series to get the points for TI or just this 1

jolly crane
#

also feel bad for azure ray

#

which is honestly the biggest issue i hav with this entire situation

#

youre punishing a team that didnt do anything wrong

#

by forcing them to play agains a different team all of a sudden, with a completely different player

#

makes a bunch of your prep kinda... useless

thorny fiber
#

Don’t they usually prep somewhat for both teams

#

Before the game is played

jolly crane
#

sure but like

#

you think theyre gonna draft/pla the same

#

with a standin

#

instead of their key player? 😄

thorny fiber
#

I mean they wanted this

#

AR that is

#

Asked for it

jolly crane
#

fair

#

theyll probably prefer this over playing against betboom with pure, thats for sure

thorny fiber
#

I think BB was fucked in the ass by their own player. I wouldn’t blame the organizers for enforcing the rules. Outside issues made it easier to break the rule but it’s still on pure to simply not break the rule

jolly crane
#

ye like i said, a punishment is more than appropriate, but i think it went much further than it shouldve

thorny fiber
#

Ye

jolly crane
#

voiding the series is way too severe

#

especially since it was a 2-0

thorny fiber
#

I would want the investigation report regardless

#

If they did one

#

Which I hope they did

#

And not based on Reddit

jolly crane
#

ye

#

its hard tho cuz the cameras they have set up

#

barely show player screens

#

think with the way the screens are angled

#

literally impossible for an admin to see pures screen even

thorny fiber
#

Ye, but I assume they better footage than is shown in that specific clip

#

Have

jolly crane
#

doubt it

#

theyll use the player cams

#

for this kinda stuff

thorny fiber
#

You can prob also look into the players computer for data

jolly crane
#

good

thorny fiber
#

What does it even mean

jolly crane
#

30sec less reserve time

thorny fiber
#

Then there must be severity difference

jolly crane
#

ye theres

#

3 levels of draft penalty in dota

thorny fiber
#

If the same rule was broken

jolly crane
#

like, you can set it in the lobby options

thorny fiber
#

I see

jolly crane
#

technically theres 4

#

lv1 penalty is 30sec
lv2 penalty is 70
lv 3 penalty is 110 (entire reserve time)
lv 4 is enemy team gets both first pick and gets to choose radiant vs dire (usually each team gets one of these)

thorny fiber
#

Now I am very interested

#

In a report

jolly crane
#

we used to have software on the lan PCs back in the day

#

that would track everything you did

#

while you were playing

#

like

thorny fiber
#

Cus if using Spotify is a level 1 punishment, then what did he actually do

jolly crane
#

every command, every keypress etc.

#

and then youd hand in that data

thorny fiber
#

Technically they broke the same rule

jolly crane
#

if you didnt, youd def lose

#

theres another rule specifically for streams

#

which im guessing is why theres a massive difference in severity

#

and then theres the fact that its pure, and people already hate him

#

i think the reason to remove him is pretty simple really

#

VP got disqualified from the major entirely when pure did the Z thing

#

now he actually did smth that had the potential to affect the outcome of the game and calls into quesiton the integrity of the results

#

so doing anything but removing him from the tourney just wouldve seemed... weird

thorny fiber
#

I mean, usually in football, the refs might hate a team or a player. And it can sometimes be the opposite effect, he gets away with more because the ref is aware of the bias he carries and puts more emphasis on making the correct decision to avoid hatred from that team after the game

jolly crane
#

ye it can cut both ways

#

i never agreed with the VP dq back then

#

but it kinda sets a precedent

thorny fiber
#

Nah that’s a bit weird

jolly crane
#

for what it takes to remove a player

thorny fiber
#

Would another political message carry the same weight

jolly crane
#

ofc not

#

there was no consideration whatsoever for what happened

#

was virtue signalling at its best

#

bringing politics into gaming in general is just smth that always rubs me the wrong way

#

people play games to escape from that shit

thorny fiber
#

Yea but that’s why most political messages are banned

jolly crane
#

ye

#

id punish any kind of political posturing the same, if it were up to me

thorny fiber
#

Yea but isn’t pure like 17

jolly crane
#

life is more complex than "this bad" vs "this gud"

#

he was very young when it happened, ye

thorny fiber
#

Some edgy teenager stuff

jolly crane
#

to me it was as stupid as someone drawing a penis in the snow

#

just

#

edgy immature inconsiderate teen behavior

thorny fiber
#

If they played ukrainians at the time

#

I can see why he got banned

jolly crane
#

they did from what i can remember but it doesnt matter cuz

#

he drew it on his minimap

#

its not like enemy team can see what he drew

thorny fiber
#

True

jolly crane
#

was during a pause as well i think? idk

thorny fiber
#

But maybe he knew stream could

jolly crane
#

its just...

#

to me theres also this consideration of like

#

kid grew up in a country marked by propaganda, probably had to listen to this shit his entire life

#

likely not very politically educated

thorny fiber
#

Kinda comes off as hate speech in a sense because Russian tanks used to kill ukrainians used the symbol which isn’t a commonly used letter in Russian normally

#

So you would have to go out of your way to make it

#

And it communicates 1 thing very clearly

jolly crane
#

ye i mean it was incredible inconsiderate and dumb

thorny fiber
#

Ye I don’t agree with VP being banned, unless they got access to coms and they were shouting death to Ukraine in their teamspeak call as he made the z or whatever

jolly crane
#

but on its face, i dont see how its much different than someone writing free honkong. its just different perspectives, and a young kid from a country that spends billions each year to indoctrinate their population... means they might have different opinions

#

just cuz i dont like it

thorny fiber
#

Ye ofc both are political

jolly crane
#

doesnt mean i cant try to understand his viewpoint

#

and why he did what he did

#

clearly hes not condoning the death of innocent people...

thorny fiber
#

I don’t try to understand why 17 year olds do what they do

#

It’s usually braindead

#

0 thought, just wanting to meme

jolly crane
#

actually insane how somnus plays this teamfight

#

his positioning

#

this is some

#

sick gameplay

#

this teamfdight

#

what a fight

#

what the fuck did i just watch

stone geode
#

that underlord bb and portal baited them back in

jolly crane
#

was kinda ridiculous

#

the fact that morph gets to lowground wiht manta was super lucky tho

stone geode
#

I definitely think theyd have done better with pure this game

jolly crane
#

3/4 uphill misses lmao

#

on the ench

jolly crane
stone geode
#

they also kinda targetted underlord and just kept killing him

worn drift
#

I really dislike heroes with pure damage orbs

#

Ench od

jolly crane
#

oh

#

its gg

#

in

#

1minute

worn drift
#

Pure dmg autos is such a broken concept to me

stone geode
jolly crane
worn drift
#

Kek

#

Naga kinda had a free game

jolly crane
#

man that teamfight

#

i need to see it again

worn drift
#

Also just really shit initiation capability from bb

#

Like what

#

Pit of malice random guy ig?

#

Or have your pos 5 bara charge in

jolly crane
#

was just a very good draft imo, really countered specific heroes

#

od pick actually very solid in this match

worn drift
#

I do agree tho if they had pure they would have a diff pos 3 and draft would go entirely different

jolly crane
#

against sb/pitlord/morph

worn drift
#

F.ex ar would likely be forced to ban stuff like doom lol

#

Since pure prob has one of the best doom in the world rn

jolly crane

but ye betboom are definitely

worn drift
#

If not just best

jolly crane
#

tilted beyond belief

#

the shittalking at start of the game

rugged cipher
#

isnt doom like reso main hero

jolly crane
#

the pause at the end of game

rugged cipher
#

played it all last ti

jolly crane
#

reso used to play a carry role on pos3, so technically hes actually in a very good spot to replace pure

worn drift
#

Reso main hero is marci

jolly crane
#

stuff like timber/marci/doom

#

theres a fair amount of overlap with pure heroes

worn drift
#

But he is also out of practice im guessing

jolly crane
#

ye dunno

#

ehs definitely not as good as pure, obviously

#

moral damage to the team as well im sure

#

they also prepped for a different opponent, or rather, prepped to not play at all today

#

We want to emphasize that the incident could not have had a serious impact on the almost two-hour meeting - it happened at the ninth minute.​

BetBoom Team do not agree with the severity of the punishment applied to our team. We have already sent a formal request to Valve and are awaiting a response. We rely on Valve to consider our request with due diligence and provide an unbiased solution. BetBoom Team is ready to work with The Bali Major organizers, Valve and all stakeholders to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again in the future.​

While waiting for a response from Valve, Ivan "Pure~" Moskalenko will be temporarily replaced. BetBoom Team will be represented by Roman "Resolut1on" Fominok.

BetBoom Team hopes that the situation will be resolved fairly and taking into account all the circumstances.​

Response kinda ignores that he alt tabbed into a twitch stream PEPW

jolly crane
#

theres might be smth else at play even

#

its just some shitty twitch chat copypasta but its not entirely out of the question

#

Since the game was paused due to lag he just tried to check if BizNet was working properly or if it was Valve's server. Once he confirmed that Nix's stream was working fine, he immediately closed it. 33 tried to do the same by playing a song on Spotify.

#

obviously its bullshit but like

#

i do that sometimes too

worn drift
#

LOL

jolly crane
#

when my wow is lagging, i check smth else

#

if stream is buffering, i immediately open a new tab to see if page loads

#

or if my internet died again

worn drift
#

Ye i mean would be nice to get their side

#

But is what it is

jolly crane
#

i think theres no explanation that would satisfy people

worn drift
#

Ye

jolly crane
#

to me its just silly alt-tab mistake cuz you play on your practice pc, not a tournament one that only has minimum amount of software installed

worn drift
#

There are more questions to the org from me than anyone

jolly crane
#

sucks for BB

#

sucks for pure

worn drift
#

Like why did you even allow the match to start with a player having a browser open ICANT

jolly crane
#

i think its fair AR requests for pure to be removed, imagine you suddenly have to play against a tournament favorite instead of a team that got rolled 2-0

#

due to no fault of your own

worn drift
#

Idk

#

Obviously easy to say as a backseat gamer but idk if id ever do that just out of pride lol

#

Kinda seems like some pussy shit

jolly crane
#

AR needs DPC points for direct qual, playing into tundra vs betboom makes a big diffy there

worn drift
#

Especially when you are starting in loser bracket

jolly crane
#

wcyd

worn drift
#

One thing i can say for sure is

#

Please for the love of god stop doing bo2

rugged cipher
worn drift
#

So fucking garbage

jolly crane
#

AR can still technically direct qual

rugged cipher
#

no they would still be under execration then

#

600 to win major

#

and im sure teams above already secured points enough to get past execration

#

or quest did aster need to win 1 lb round

stone geode
#

I dont like that LC there

jolly crane
#

or rather, that the result still matters

#

mh i love the

rugged cipher
#

Betboom done as long they win this game or place better or same as aster

jolly crane
#

0.5sec audio delay

rugged cipher
#

Looks like pray for aster loss as this point classic

jolly crane
#

this audio delay

#

is killing me

stone geode
#

9p > aster

jolly crane
#

unwatchable with this audio lag

rugged cipher
thorny fiber
#

Is it on my end or is the stream laggy

#

Watching on phone in office

#

So can’t tell

stone geode
#

sound is out of sync

thorny fiber
#

I have random black screens with smol lag as well

stone geode
#

nah, not that

#

slark 6 now so he chillin

jolly crane
#

kotl giff mana

stone geode
#

they rollin

jolly crane
#

ye

#

kotl stronk

#

game would look very different without the kotl having high levels early on

stone geode
#

cores kinda keeping up though, most of gold diff is supports

#

slark?

#

what a game

stray yew
#

i just saw they dqed them only in UB

#

this TO somehow is worse than pgl

stone geode
#

t1 event

stray yew
#

ye i agree they should either just fine them or dq entirely

#

youi cant just make them lose 1 series lol

stone geode
#

like drop them from the bracket for the next round

#

or something

#

that doesnt fuck over other teams as well

stray yew
#

also dqing pure only?

rugged cipher
#

would u rather have a bye game in ub semis than just theother team playing lb game?

#

thats just worse

stray yew
#

they should dq their entire team

#

maybe it is

#

but this decision makes no sense

rugged cipher
#

answered to grizzleds suggestion

stone geode
#

is there any worse solution

#

than this one

stray yew
#

maybe replaying the game

#

in which he cheated

#

coz it was during idk either game 1 or game 2 of tundra - bb

#

so just replay that game

#

that sounds like impossible one to pull off

rugged cipher
#

doubt he cheated and it had any impact on results i mean the decision is kinda "fine" but they half assed on everything

#

no other team but them got fucked over

stray yew
#

ye i doubt it impacted the game whatsoever

#

its just the tournament is bad

#

perma sound issues ofc

#

and stream is even lagging

#

so need to scapegoat something at least kekdog

#

and even this case couldve been avoided if they werent a sstupid to

#

coz how is there noone watching them

#

they might aswell been checking their phones 24/7 too mid games

#

if there is noone standing behind them actually checking what they're up too

stone geode
#

playoffs in hotel rooms

#

1h pause because bad internet

stray yew
#

it would be funny tho if they dont qualify to TI now

#

pure secretly hates gpk and does everything to gate him everytime

rugged cipher
#

ye would be funny if ar wins now and aster wins their game

stone geode
#

fucking over the TI qual is the biggest yikes

stray yew
#

rly well played fight from bb

#

how good reso is

#

when he isnt playing the game

#

and just joins in casually as standin

stone geode
#

lucky he was there as an analyst

stray yew
#

ye

#

i think their coach is divine

#

betbooms coach i eman

stone geode
#

I dont even remember how the ranks go

stray yew
#

divine is one before immortal

#

but imortal is very big

stone geode
#

back in the day I pretty much only played non ranked with irl friends because skill diff was so big among us

#

maybe I would place with 4 digit mmr now

rugged cipher
#

big fight

stone geode
#

seeker good in the situation

#

also eblade/decrep saving the day

stray yew
#

ye they need more nullis

#

ye its over

#

he has no bb on seeker

stone geode
#

he bb last fight

stray yew
#

actualyl funny how 2 people that died in each team are the ones that have no bb

#

ye

#

i thought fight would spiral out of control once they kill seeker

#

but rosh moved

stone geode
#

did he say neither team good at rosh

#

tiny airlines

#

blocked hook pepeLa

#

thats gg

jolly crane

How did they win that

stone geode

tiny

#

maybe if reso doesnt block the hook on bkb tp on the seeker its a little different

#

so bad for BB

#

id be fuming

manic ermine
#

Reso back to pannelling

rugged cipher
#

lets go aster peepoCheer

manic ermine
#

Stupid outcome

#

Bb got eliminated

#

The TSM dream is still intact

rugged cipher
#

bet boom actually already out from TI

#

quest will pass them

#

secured 400p already

manic ermine
#

Quest and aster need to be eliminated next round so betboom can stay

#

Small chance

rugged cipher
#

quest is secured top6 and 400p unless its already counted in

#

ah ye they had already added it

manic ermine
#

Yeah

rugged cipher
#

so quest actually need top2 to steal spot but aster can just win 1 game

manic ermine
#

Ramzes will avenged betboom for sure

stone geode
#

Aster is trash

#

Hope they lose

rugged cipher
#

solo some classic 322 to remove bb

stone geode
#

Not that i actually care

#

But im actually pissed

#

So guess i do

jolly crane
jolly crane
#

xxs/boboka are one of the best offlane duos

#

problem is monet isnt very good anymore

#

and they struggled a long time with finding a good mid, and now theyre doing pretty decent with a mid that doesnt speak their language lol

silver geyser
rugged cipher
#

insert feardota mirror selfie

stray yew
#

it dynamically added 400 points for quest

#

coz they had 230 before

#

and now are updated to 630

#

bb can still qualify through points if aster/quest wins no more games

jolly crane
#

well

#

morph is just gonna win this game

stray yew
#

ramzes morph PEPELA

jolly crane
#

morph aghs

#

is just

a silly thing

stray yew

he can die

because drow is mega hard counter

jolly crane
#

eh

#

shard exists

rugged cipher
stray yew
#

i find it hilarious AR said they wont play against CHEATER PURE

#

meanwhile take a look at chinese scene for past year

#

or even during this tournament

#

one of their wins was taken away coz they bug abused

#

solo did that card too

#

where he didnt wanna play against ceb i think when he flamed russians in pubs

jolly crane
#

stolen primal roar

#

turned that fight

#

balanced hero tho

#

with hypothermia stacks

#

just goes back to full hp anyway

#

@stray yew well that was a crit on marksman proc

#

lul

stray yew
#

ye its impossible to play this matchup

idk what items he made

but he shouldve made ac

jolly crane

ye all up to quest now

they need to make 2nd place i think to qualify

were the first 2 games in this series good?

Good

jolly crane

its funny

#

think ive seen lgd vs aster or lgd vs XG so many times in the last few ysears

#

in LB matches

stone geode
#

ye, ive noticed

jolly crane
#

often like

thorny fiber
#

Cus they always in lower bracket unless named psg lgd

stone geode
#

big LGD fan

#

I feel like liquid beat tundra

thorny fiber
#

Yes

#

Its gonna be liquid - gg

#

Ub final

#

And then bo5 is liquid - gg again

#

4th time in a row or something

stone geode
thorny fiber
#

And then TI comes

#

And neither liquid or GG go far

stone geode
#

been a while since cis won TI

#

actually cap

#

because spirit

thorny fiber
#

Ye

#

China tho

stray yew
#

becuase its gonna be joke prize pool

#

wouldnt be surprised if riyadh gonna be better prize pool

#

quest is rly coming strong

#

and tundra been allright entire season

#

could see them doing well at TI too

stone geode
#

no shot TI is bigger than riyadh

#

The current total prize pool is $18,930,775 USD ($17,330,775 USD added).

#

thats last year with cosmetics compendium

rugged cipher
#

how do nisha get like 0 crits on his slights

stone geode
#

tundra ez UB final

jolly crane
#

Good player gets crits

rugged cipher
#

but yeah he kinda threw not buying a bkb

stray yew
#

i rly liked tihs one

#

33's spotify playlist

stray yew
#

im not sure but can you even tell if tormentor is up for someone from looking at minimap?

#

or is it this?

#

nvm its glyph

rugged cipher
#

ByeByeBetBoom wave

#

but i guess they will get bailed out in the end

stray yew
#

shrugeg all up to quest

#

if anything its tsm that should be out

#

and not betboom or quest

#

but major dpc points are joke

rugged cipher
#

na dps farmers?

stray yew
#

should be 3-4 times more points for majors

#

i just cant say this enough

#

but we rly need major fixing

#

send 2-3 eu teams to NA

rugged cipher
#

i mean i can see a lot of major orgs backing away from dota if shitty ti prize pool PEPW

stray yew
#

why would they tho

#

i feel like they would change contract structures when it comes to splitting prize pools and scuh then

#

and players will pressure for that

#

would they rather buy into league then for massive money then or just abandon dota entirely you think?

rugged cipher
#

i mean dota has kinda been the "only play the rest for TI"

#

but i guess influx of saudi money and tourneys helps a bit

#

but they do direct invites to whoever tehy want

stray yew
#

ye i was gonna bring the riyadh 'major' because that prize pool looks nice

#

major prize pools in dota are joke tho

rugged cipher
#

so orgs like secret etc benefit from it

stray yew
#

its 200k for winning icant

#

you could easily argue team like secret would be qualifying for majors if they played in NA dpc

rugged cipher
#

and even nigma i guess get invites to riyadh

stray yew
#

which i hope teams finally start doing

#

because fuck that, tsm not doing shit at majors and just farm free ti spot

#

absolute disgrace in my eyes

#

you can meme SR or beastcoast but they at least gotten to playoffs/got some points in majors

#

big respect to that

rugged cipher
#

oh riyadh actually got some real qual stuff this time around

stray yew
#

ye they do

#

its more serious in that regard

#

last year it was invite only and they had some t7 team in

#

that got 20-0'd every game

#

i remember icant

#

also there is 2 spots in SA from qualifeirs to TI

#

and both beastcoast and eg are already in through points..

#

so there will be 2 absolute mazzaleane teams

#

coz SA somehow got 2 spots like eu

#

even tho eu has basically 3/4 teams on avg being in top 4

rugged cipher
#

but sa were big last TI hokori and thunder awaken pepLaffing

stray yew
#

i mean thunder awaken is half of the current EG roster

#

fair play to that

#

and beastcoast is no joke team either

rugged cipher
#

sea has fallen off pretty hard

stray yew
#

talon looked decent in dreamleague

#

and they're also qualified

#

idk what happened they didnt make it to this major tho

#

its impossible to follow different dpc regions, even impossible to keep up with EU one even if you'd want to

#

and eu one is ofc best + best hours for most of us on top of that

rugged cipher
#

alliance demoted from div2 KEKW

and prison rtz no team after alliance, guess he could retire after 10k from loda every day

Nah was a quickie

Tundra shouldn’t even be where they are ICANT

stone geode

they get another chance pepeLa

#

50% of playoff series is just tundra getting 2-0ed

worn drift

Surely dyrachyo didn’t have recycling bin open in background or else dq again and tundra goes through

#

Betboom praying for quests downfall

#

Apparently if quest doesn’t get top 2 betboom goes to international

thorny fiber

Its gonna be gg vs liquid again aint it

stone geode
manic ermine

Believe in quest

jolly crane
#

GG just have the best and most consistent pos 4/5 players in the world atm

#

wins them half the games

#

in the laning stage already

#

i like carry brood a lot more than the fucking aura brood

stone geode
#

think this one is ogre, naga cant win by herself

#

other cores dont do enough

jolly crane
#

wr needs 25

#

and aghs

stone geode
#

that rubick sleep LULW

jolly crane
#

micke also just not shoving waves well

#

like hes not even attempting to cut waves

#

in mid

#

nisha has to do it on WR and dies for it

rugged cipher
#

i think ur watching another g ame

jolly crane
#

err not micke

#

ye

#

i mixed up teams 😄

#

i meant naga isnt shoving waves

#

noob had to cut midwave on WR

#

cuz naga not shoving/skipping waves

rugged cipher
#

lol aegis reg during sleep

jolly crane
#

the stolen sleep is just

#

closing the game out for them

#

the rubick stood so far in just now and they dont even attempt to kill him

rugged cipher
#

everyone on liquid do so much dmg now

jolly crane
#

like

#

where is the naga

#

shes on top lane in the trees

stone geode
jolly crane
#

while the mirana/mars/wr do stuff

#

if the sd gets an aghs somehow or the wr gets aghs+25, then they might actually have a chance still

#

but doubt they can hold the game that long

#

wr is 25 actually

rugged cipher
#

they dont have enough cc, cant even ignore cm cus bkb+aghs+shard+blink

jolly crane
#

naga needs abyssal imo

rugged cipher
#

and rubick doing work and the otehrs just hurt to much dead

#

now aghs on rubick also

stray yew
#

naga isnt good hero if you cant finish the game by sheer fact of lane shove + getting gold advantage 30 minutes into the game

#

tundra ti11 style

jolly crane
#

i think her itemization is just meh

stray yew
#

naga is just a weak hero hero to hero matchup

#

on even networth

#

that hero is like alchemist, needs 1 or 2 items on enemy core to be able to fight it

jolly crane
#

mostly feel like potm is just a useless hero

stray yew
#

liquid just dealt with rat dota

#

exceptionally

jolly crane
#

dunno, the naga didnt rat that much

#

was the WR that did the ratting

stray yew
#

coz she was scared

#

he

jolly crane
#

why are you scared

#

as naga

#

to rat

#

against a team without abyssal/basher

stray yew
#

coz stolen song

#

good vision

#

travel 2s

jolly crane
#

idk just looked disjointed

#

their gameplan

#

someone died somewhere, but they didnt get anything for it

#

no map control or ward or smoke or lane shove

thorny fiber
#

What did potm do this game tho

#

Like playing 4v5

stray yew
#

it was meant to be setup with sleep to arrow i think

#

but yea didnt work out

thorny fiber
#

Is liquid saving betboom

rugged cipher
#

yes

#

well quest would have to overcome tundra also

thorny fiber
#

Tundra kekl

rugged cipher

Everyone wants to kill ammar

rugged cipher
thorny fiber

stray yew

its not liquid throwing

#

quest played exceptionally

#

mars and beast played perfectly

#

cut creeps very well

rugged cipher
#

i think nisha+micke getting caught bottom t3 alone both dying

stray yew
#

so they couldnt push

rugged cipher
#

turned game around

stray yew
#

unlike previous game they never managed to kill rats

#

that cut waves

stray yew
#

this looks already over

#

they just need to remove lifesteal from brood

#

and walking through cliffs

#

and spiders from ult

#

and that hero will be balanced

stone geode

believe in nisha ember

it looks so hard for liquid

snap not doing much the entire game

manic ermine

Lvl 25 timing is massive for snap

stray yew

had to afk

#

whats the situation

#

even gold sus

#

idk how is liquid doing it but htats some impressive stuff

#

and ive seen tbs lose games like taht because its not that hard to kite a tb

stone geode
#

good wave push

#

and rat

#

also morph into brood

stray yew
#

dying brood

#

no better view

#

but yea snap becoming new hidden carry

#

typical snap games yep

stone geode
#

should not have lost that

manic ermine

I think this means betboom gets the TI invite

stray yew

damn insane

#

yes @manic ermine

gpk qualified 2 times
