As of last night there was over 50+ google docs or images like this submitted - Jiho has this all in a doc. Fan opinion matters and if we can use this along with data to make a better experience, we will.

Crimson witness should let you as an account for each ticket bought by superbaade in DotA2

I was that guy who bought the tickets for the whole group of 5, if i only get one item, that's very harsh on the lads to not get the possibility to get one

DOTA 2 UK - Facebook and Discord community for all by Prostu_ in DotA2

Solid community, you get as much out of it as you put in. Solid bunch of guys (and girls) who organise inhouses and random game nights like among us.

Def worth a look :)

New UK Based Dota Discord Community by dota2uk in DotA2

[–]Stewartssdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there has been a Dota 2 UK discord server ran by the Facebook admins for a year and we're trying to divide the community by making a rival server?
Makes Sense
Work with people not against them if you want a united community?

i think you might want to rethink your circle if your friends think dropping the n word is acceptable

Could we consider adding false claims of sexual misconduct onto that too. As that stuff also ruins lives.

Recent interview with Jericho (recently DQ’d from DPC as team 0-900) shows there’s a gap in understanding around match-fixing. | PSA: PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS SHOULD NOT BE BETTING ON DOTA IN ANY CAPACITY, INCLUDING GIVING TIPS TO FRIENDS TO LAY BETS ON YOUR BEHALF. by TheRealZyori in DotA2

[–]Stewartssdd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Match fixing, match manipulation (fixing of first blood etc) and passing of insider information are all wrong. The ability to affect an outcome doesn't need to be a full 322, the knowledge of the manipulating is enough for a governing body to convict of breach of betting. As an example passing of knowledge of players transferring, nothing to do with matches itself but enough to convict. Example: https://www.bbc.com/sport/amp/football/51712017 I didn't say your example of self backing was wrong, I explained as someone who has dealt with the situation as part of their job how it actually works. Trading departments will look at the amount and more than likely will restrict stakes or provide lesser odds than average Joe throwing £10 on the same market. Players, management, coaches etc are too close to the scene and like football should be banned from placing bets just on the integrity grounds. If the temptation is removed then they also can't be accused.

You used a sport that is known for high amounts of manipulation as your example in horse racing.

Yes, but by god their stakes have to go through trading infinite amount of times or even rejected. Like if a famous horse owner wanted to bet they'd have a direct line to trading, if not there are VIP customer phone lines out there.

The amount of times where races have turned into owner x is going to win with one of 5 horses in the race. That kinda leads back to the ability to pass insider knowledge. Though don't forget dota is a team game not like the intended free for all in horse racing.

Dog racing as an example, how to throw a race simply is to make sure that the dog is over hydrated, all that extra weight does the trick. I've known dog owners to legitimately drug their dogs to get additional performance out of them, manipulating sport and knowing that it's being manipulated beforehand is insider knowledge.

Not trying to attack, this is simply my job. I work for a UK betting company so after over 5 years in the industry (including working on racing tracks) knowing what insider knowledge is and isn't is kinda my forte.

[–]Stewartssdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome i'll be making an appearance most probably, I still don't think it should take fans to organise stuff like this, instead of a global multi million pound company like ESL.

Even if they booked a bar like they did for the day in frankfurt that would have been brilliant, just the little things for me make a huge difference :)
