sQreen commented on PlayTime’s removal from the 2026 Esports World Cup in Dota 2

Basically, they’re trying to pin all the blame on the coach and midlaner darkmago.
What can I say: darkmago isn’t just a relative “old-timer” who’s been playing on the pro scene for 8 years now—he’s also one of the best players in his region and on his team. You can only believe that he wanted to throw the game or anything else based on concrete evidence. In other words, the absurdity of the situation lies in the fact that this hasn’t even happened yet, so it’s impossible to prove based on the game itself; alternatively, there would have to be concrete evidence where he says: “Yes, I’m going to throw the game,” or chat logs showing him making arrangements with someone, or him personally transferring money, and so on.
Until then, I consider any measures taken against him to be completely unfounded, especially if you’ve already decided to disqualify the team—please be so kind as to make the evidence public, or, if guilt hasn’t been proven, the team has every right to continue playing.
