One of the top Dota 2 players has been accused of account boosting: he faces an 8-year ban

David 'Parker' Niño Flores, representing Mad Kings, has been suspected of account boosting for his teammate Steven 'StingeR' Vargas.

The corresponding thread is gaining popularity on Reddit, where screenshots have been posted with potential admission by the player of violating Dota 2 rules.

In the screenshot, during the pick phase, StingeR writes that his teammate Parker is currently playing on his account, and he asks him to play this match in the mid lane. It is currently unknown whether Parker actually boosted someone else's account. If the information is confirmed, he may face a ban ranging from 1 to 8 years depending on Valve's decision.

It is noteworthy that Parker is among the world's top players, holding the second spot in the American Dota 2 ladder, which is an impressive achievement. Simultaneously, StingeR, while in the top 500, is ranked 276th.

Recall that earlier, Magomed 'Collapse' Khalilov, a player from Team Spirit, was also accused of violating Dota 2 rules, and there were demands for sanctions against the esports athlete.
