Gaben and Rostislav_999

Rostislav "Rostislav_999" Protasenya tried to exploit gold using a bug, but within 10 seconds, an opponent punished the streamer by destroying his Hand Of Midas.

The moment happened live during a Twitch stream.

Rostislav_999 had just learned about the new bug, but the enemy Invoker predicted the move and destroyed the key item for the gold exploit, shocking the streamer. He became so angry that he started yelling at his teammate, who supposedly taught him the Hand Of Midas bug.

Despite this, the moment amused many viewers, though they reminded him that the streamer could face a ban from Valve for exploiting the bug. Such actions are prohibited by Dota 2's rules, and intentional bug abuse can lead to penalties from Valve.

It’s worth noting that Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf was also caught exploiting the same bug to accumulate massive amounts of gold using Hand Of Midas.
