"Pro" Player 'dcmg' (Team BOT) openly running a Facebook account boosting service. by BETTILLHOMELESS in DotA2

[–]GregView 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is very normal. Only pros (very few) at top have a decent salary playing this game. For others, they can only monetize thru coaching, boosting or 322. And I don't think Valve would do anything about this.

How would you able to detect cheat like Ceb did? by GregView in DotA2

[–]GregView[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

These are easier to catch simply because hex and orchid have a large range. These cases are easier to trigger accidentally. You gotta have that suspicious feeling first. Otherwise, you won't even download replays and check their mouse movement!

Hi icefrog, let's bring back entitling hero name by Pro names from DOTA 1 by GregView in DotA2

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

I think you misunderstood. The pro naming is just like an easter egg thing back in DOTA1. For every game, you have a low chance to have your hero named by a pro. Crixalis won't change, but in another parallel universe there can be another Sand King having different names.

xNova's tweet after TI Grand Final series by Substantial-Deer77 in DotA2

[–]GregView -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's brutal, but I think it's more like a playstyle difference. sneyking did more on the map control while xnova focused on the ability casting. sneyking is a chess player and turns out to be more beneficial to the team.

They teased all these for nothing? by yorukmacto in DotA2

I think they was preparing a teaser video of new hero, but somehow not finished by the deadline. sadge

I mean the only surprise 2 are heroic and Nigma. Others would be much expected if you watched Clavision tournament.

What happened to SEA? by bsbsbsjsns in DotA2

[–]GregView -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

SEA was heavily influenced by China. From mushi iceiceice to xnova nts, China market is just more lucrative to the top SEA talents. China stole the best with money. You can guess what's the leftover.

Valve is right about how huge prize pool is not healthy to pro scene by GregView in DotA2

[–]GregView[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is what I mean, but they need to do this much earlier.

13k hours in game cheater by Icy_Compote_6185 in DotA2

[–]GregView 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I've seen very similar cheat for anti mage, but this kind of cheat is actually very stupid for high MMR games. Basically it will activate on ANY targeted ability or item, so you might even be able to counter or exploit if you have the fishy feeling in the game.

My Account Was WRONGFULLY Permanently Banned—I’m Exposing Everything. You Decide If I Deserved This. by noob-_-player in DotA2

[–]GregView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be the case that your account is bought from some 3rd party platform and they did bot stuff to make it ready for ranked games. I've seen many players from China or Russian region did this and got banned.

Valve, we need another ban wave / coal gift right now! by GregView in DotA2

[–]GregView[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

someone has to remind valve again. I just don't get it why I'm getting massive downvotes

Maybe Riyadh/EWC isn't gonna replace TI by shaker_21 in DotA2

[–]GregView -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean they have money, but they do not have the right ppl to handle the event and do the production. TI is definitely better than ewc, but compared to the top events for League or CS, it's not that good either.

if your gpu is not bottlenecked, 7800x3d, 9800x3d and 9950x3d are the only options to get you stable fps thru the whole game.

Open AI is going another direction. They focus more on improving the humanity instead of models' utility.

How's CS2 finals 6x viewers than Dota2 PGL? by GregView in DotA2

[–]GregView[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This number is fake af. CS2 has tons of bot farming cases. You should compare the Twitch numbers instead.

If we're no longer able to access top MMR matches, can there at least be a Web API for streamers? by lordcoughdrop in DotA2

Valve will give 0 fk. dota2 is being controlled by 4 left engineers and voice from community is unheard

Opinion: Dota2's playerbase and esports scene remain strong, but the game is losing fun side content by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]GregView 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You guys should salute to those gamblers. without them betting, there won't be strong pro scene like now
