Reflecting on the past year, the South East Asia Dota 2 scene faced a major setback with 322 reported incidents. Teams like Arrow Gaming and MSI GT Evos encountered penalties from tournament officials. Players from Arrow Gaming attempted to make amends by joining Team Redemption, a group of five young gamers who participated in the Major All Stars but ultimately didn’t succeed.

Also, there was a significant match-fixing case involving iBuyPower, NetCode Guides, and Epsilon Esports. The situation with Steel was particularly notable—they remained unfazed by the controversy and avoided any remorse.

Valve’s decision to issue a lifetime ban on Team Redemption sparked widespread debate. While some questioned whether this double standard exists—especially given South East Asia’s underdeveloped scene or concerns about player education—others pointed out that another Valve title, CSGO, received a one-year ban. The fairness of such distinctions remains questionable.

Our experience at The International was unclear before, but we now have official confirmation from Valve: Team Redemption, including its members DDz, XiangZaii, MoZun, MtR, and Lance, will not take part in any future Valve events. This announcement came directly from Valve, confirming our exclusion.

After the shock, the players spoke openly about staying committed to the game, emphasizing their dedication despite the setback. They assured us they’d keep playing, showing resilience. Potential sponsors will be informed of this status as we remain transparent.

Thank you for your continued support. #trfighting
