The Peruvian team of Dota 2 is disqualified from the International 2018 for using traps

Unfair actions in video games are on the agenda. There are even places like Korea where extremes have been used to punish in an exemplary way those who use cheating to win. However, unlike in other games, this time in Dota 2 took place a completely contentious action .

A Peruvian team Dota 2 called Thunder Predator said goodbye to his aspirations at the International 2018 . The reason was that Valve disqualified the team for using traps in the regional qualifiers. The decision is irreversible, so the group will have to wait another year to reach its goal

This which encouraged Valve to proceed to disqualification was a complaint made by several users of Reddit . There they argued and showed evidence incriminating the player " Tuna". to use macros that have benefited. Thus, in one movement was able to trigger several actions that would normally take longer.

The complaint was specifically in the game that had Thunder Predator against the SG Brazilians . There, 'Tuna & # 39; decided to choose the hero "Meepo", which is a very difficult character to control properly. In Dota 2, what sets Meepo apart is its ability to generate clones and teleport them, causing considerable damage to the process.

However, to do this, the player must manage each clone individually . This is why many gamers believe that teleporting all clones at the time is physically impossible . That's precisely what "Tuna" did, which led to the expulsion of his tournament team.

The explanation of the team

In a statement, Thunder Predator denied using any kind of hack during the game . According to them, the charges are made by third parties who wanted to harm the team.

They then explained that the reason for this move was the use of a Razer Synapse mouse. Apparently, & # 39; Tuna & # 39; would have used the advantages of this material to make the movement :

The player of our team "Tuna" has a mouse Razer Synapse which, like any professional player, has set up its own manual configuration in order to have better use of the hardware for the benefit of its performance performance highlighting the fact that no type of hacking has been used. "

The decision was controversial because the team and many of its supporters argue that Valve's rules do not specify the prohibition of these devices They even mentioned that Tuna used the same mouse in other previous clashes, without any reproach from the organizers.

For now the Peruvians are withdrawing from the competition in Apologizing to their fans and aspiring to the next tournament.Of course, will not have had the opportunity to win the $ 15 million this year .

Given that Valve's rules are somewhat ambiguous, do you think that the decision was taken? right or not?
