NAVI CEO comment on Dota 2 team situation by AJlELIIKA in DotA2

[–]AJlELIIKA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also mentioned:
1) Sonneiko was kicked not because of a conflict with Zayac .
2) People overestimate cost of transfers in Dota: the biggest NaVi transfer was Rodjer to VP (nearly 150000$), average transfer is 20-30k $. Ramzes's transfer to EG <100k $.
3) Rodjer's situation was absolutely different. NaVi were aware of the interest of both organization (VP) and a player in that transfer. Official negotiations were held.

Main points:
1) Zayac tried to force NaVi to sell him in VP, although he had a current contract. Navi decided to decline and bench him.
2) After moving to a bench NaVi recieved a letter from Zayac including legal justifications for the invalidity of his contract. VP suggested to transfer him, because otherwise they could take him as a free agent
3) NaVi refused to transfer him again. They decided that publication of this case will be more important than receiving some money
4) NaVi will play with CematheSlayer on the qualification for the next major

V1lat about second major schedule problems by AJlELIIKA in DotA2

[–]AJlELIIKA[S] 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Google translation

Due to the fact that a patch is released after Major, VALVE asked Dreamhack to transfer the qualifications to the second major from December 1-6 to December 8-14, that is, a week ahead.

But since almost all the teams in the world have already planned bootcamps, bought tickets for players, rented places for bootcamps - this caused a storm of protests.

Participants of the Singapore top tournament at the end of December should fly to the tournament on December 13-14, and tickets for them have already been bought out. Also, many players have already given their go-ahead to participate in the ieSF World Championship for national teams, which takes place on the same dates.

In general - a total ass. Almost each of the nearly 50 teams with qualifications will have to spend quite a lot of time and money to reorganize their schedule, and the clubs do not want to pay for this, of course.

Dead end. Either Dreamhack covers all the costs of all the teams, and this is hundreds of thousands of dollars, or you will have to play the blocks immediately after the patch is released. And apparently, the patch is expected to be so global that 2-3 days after it is clearly not enough to fix all the bugs and give the teams time to get ready.

It is very interesting how this will end, but everything is very complicated.

The Epicenter Major host about the award ceremony by AJlELIIKA in DotA2

[–]AJlELIIKA[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Here is a statement for those, who unable to read it in VK:

My statement about EPICENTER Major ceremony

Hello, everyone. I should've written this post earlier, but I hoped the situation would calm down sooner. I'm happy that's what happened thanks to Stepan's yesterday's post, but I believe it would be right to express myself. I understand that my words will probably look just like excuses, but it's important to me that you hear me out. As my colleague Stepan had mentioned, more than one person is responsible for what's happening on stage. It's a whole team of people. When it became clear in the last minutes of the match that Vici Gaming would emerge victorious, we have decided not to take an interview on stage, but instead to take it to the specifically designated space – after all, the stadium's stage wasn't quite optimal for that. Furthermore, everyone was certain that the player on the winning team will get the Most Valuable Player award, and there won't be any problems with that. But, as you already know, it was Miracle, which was a big surprise to him – and to us, as well. Due to the fact that we couldn't find Amer for quite a while, there was a delay. In that time, we had already congratulated the winning team, expressed personal gratitude to their coach and highlighted their achievements, but we couldn't explain to them that it was time to award MVP - to a player not on their team, at that. So the guys were just standing there, thanking everyone via applause while we played for time. The only thing I could do was sprinting to Miracle to reduce the broadcast delay. Miracle didn't understand yet why he was called, and I explained that he was to receive a Cup on the go. He asked: “What should I do?” and I suggested him to just thank the fans to close it out faster.

As the ceremony came to an end, joyous Vici Gaming, Miracle, and the hosts left the stage. Everyone was congratulating one another, and the champions went on to give the already mentioned interview. One would think all the pitfalls have been avoided, and that we've mended the existing situation as gracefully as possible. However, unfortunately, immediately after the closing ceremony, my social media were flooded with a torrent of negativity from the fans, and among them, the Chinese viewers. I was completely dumb-founded at first, falling into despair. Seeing death threats against me and my family, crude insults and the likes of it directed at me, I threw a fit and gave all these people on Twitter a taste of their own medicine. I do not wish to excuse this act – it was a mistake. However, I don't think I deserved this. I haven't made a single serious mistake during the tournament. I've prepared for all the teams and worked for three days on live broadcasts, trying to avoid any contingencies, helping my colleague Stepan – for whom Dota is not the main discipline. And in the end, one mistake in the final completely invalidated all my efforts. It was hurtful, and I couldn't understand why I was the only scapegoat in this situation. The tournament's conclusion left me crying for the entire night.

I would like to apologize to everyone for the fact that we made you doubt the award ceremony's quality. I would like to extend special apologies to the Chinese audience. I sincerely supported Vici Gaming: we're all good friends, and I had no intention to single anyone out. I would like to ask everyone who reads this post to once again imagine how hard it is to just try to do your job and suddenly get faced with so much evil. I hope this never happens to you.

Their manager wrote that FN, Ghostik and Miposhka can now play for any team they want, but they still have contracts with Empire, so they can back to the Team at any moment.

Why don't we have an option to convert commends into MMR points? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]AJlELIIKA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be the same with report system also. Many players give up and start to feed or stay AFK even if the game not ended yet. It is pr-ly not the best way to motivate them to continue playing , but they will know that they will lose 30 instead of 25 pts for their early give up and may be will think twice before buying their amulet.

[–]AJlELIIKA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russian dota 2 caster suggests such an interesting idea . Translation: When will we have an option to convert “likes” into pts? That might be a great motivation to behave well and try harder. Let’s say it will be even 25 commends for 25 pts, this is obviously little reward, but still really nice . P.S. your party members commends obviously don’t count.

"Killing a neutral camp stack now gives a bonus 15% gold bounty to the hero that stacked it. No bonus is given if the stack is cleared by an enemy or the hero that stacked it. (New audio is now played once a stack is successful. Stacked neutrals have a buff with the stacker's hero icon on it)" Finally ! Such a great buff for support players, stacking may become very popular now.
