Gaben and NS Dota 2

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov voiced his thoughts that Valve should intervene and crack down on streamers who carry out ‘zero to Immortal’ challenges because it is bad for matchmaking for many players.

The ex esports player expressed his views in a twitch stream:

"I just open Twitch, and it's literally 'zero to immortal' everywhere. I want them all banned, seriously"

NS however noted that streamers do it for good reasons i.e., to gain views but he believes it is a negative trend. He pointed out that hiding and boosting activities such as these are against Dota 2 policies and create huge issues for low and mid MMR players' gaming values.

"This is a horrible trend. People are only boosting, Everybody knows that boosting is a piece of shit yet look at the fact that these players are boosting accounts right in front of the camera. It’s irrelevant whether they devout the intention to sell those accounts, it’s clear as day. This does not change the nature of things. It’s boosting, for God’s sake, live on stream. Any reasonable person will tell you this is poison for absolutely any online game. This is terrible and is destroying the experience for millions of people"

The ex pro believes this is completely wrong and calls for bans in order to punish the individuals for their idiocy. He called out again towards Valve about them taking action against the scenario.

Earlier, Valve also delivered a substantial Dota 2 update through which they incorporated a major nerf for Kez in matchmaking.
