‘They match fix like crazy in China’: Dota 2 pros speak out on Valve’s huge ban wave
Valve has banned more than 40 pro Dota 2 players from China and Southeast Asia, and removed five teams from the upcoming Dota Pro Circuit, in response to accusations of cheating and match-fixing during the Winter Tour. The bans have thrown the Chinese Dota scene into turmoil, as the rest of the Dota 2 world was just waking up.
Many professional players and community figures from the west were shocked by the news, while others didn’t seem to be overly surprised to see this happening in the region.
