Just when competitive Dota 2 fans were starting to think the next leg of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit was going to get started without addressing any of the cheating and match-fixing allegations from the Winter Tour, Valve stepped in and dropped the ban hammer on more than 40 pro players in China and Southeast Asia today.
This ruling dropped after a number of players in both regions, and even some full teams, were accused of cheating and fixing matches during the DPC Winter Tour—with some teams being called out for it multiple times as suspicious betting activity followed them throughout the last few months. Valve and Perfect World, the main tournament organizer for Dota events in China, have now imposed multi-year or indefinite bans on 46 different players and removed five teams from the DPC entirely for the upcoming Spring Tour.
