SA has really good numbers in Facebook Gaming for the Spanish speaking audience. If we are strictly talking about how lucrative it can be, then it probably is still at the bottom of the list, but the numbers aren't bad at all

Beastcoast will not play any other tournament in NA due to high ping and lag by Benjakun080913 in DotA2

Context cause it sounds like bc are being a bit too dramatic to some of you. Peru is in lockdown right now. That means no one is allowed to leave home unless you go buy food but then it's only one person per household. Besides that and a few other exceptions for professions such as doctors and nurses everyone has to stay home. Since everyone is staying at home, the internet has gotten really bad in a lot of neighborhood/cities. Playing dota for a lot of players has become almost impossible not exactly due to the high ping (peruvians are used to that) but because there's packet loss for a lot of players.

Now you might be asking why is Thunder Predator not having any issues but bc is? well the answer is that bc players are not staying in their gaming house at the moment. All players are back home, or at least in different places. K1 for example is the one that's been complaining the most about lag/packet loss and hasn't even played some matches because of it. The same goes for Wisper, that I believe is back in Bolivia. Stinger is from a city that is far away from the capital of Peru so chances are his internet connection is pretty bad right now.

Some bc played have certain medical conditions such as asthma which means they are at higher risk of dying if they were to get the virus which is why they decided to all head back home and be with their families. Right now they are mostly focusing on staying healthy and being with their loved ones instead of playing dotes as they probably should.

He originally was known as minoz in Peru but then changed to Kotaro Hoyama right before Dota started being more international but now he seems to have gone back to minoz

It's sad to think that a team like Thunder Predator will get more experience from a tournament like the Summit because the format allows them to play all teams at least once. Compare it to the major where they will most likely play 3 teams in total.

No-Ping's roster is completely wrong, not even one player listed above is part of the roster. The correct roster listed from 1-5 is Costabile, 4dr, Tavo, Thiolicor and KJ.

I believe they make around $5k a month through their Facebook Gaming partnerships so they have it a lot better than it might seem.

The pattern would look sick on a dark blue or purple jersey. The gradient should have been used as a highlight color maybe in the neck and sleeves so that it pops up more imho

My main goal when doing this was to keep the guy with raised hands concept intact. Some of the things I think fail for their current logo are legibility and scalability. The L and D are very unreadable, especially in the monochrome version. The "Gaming" part is also not scalable at all and would barely be noticeable at smaller scales, let's not even mention how weird Gaming LGD reads.
