Valve permanently banned a well-known streamer right in the middle of a Dota 2 match

Rostislav "Rostislav_999" Protasenya was banned by Valve in the middle of a Dota 2 match while he was doing the MMR challenge.

The moment was captured on his Twitch broadcast.

After the ban, Rostislav_999 lost his temper and asked Valve to release the Compendium instead of banning streamers. At that moment, he was doing the "5000 MMR to 8600 MMR" challenge, but managed to play only 38 games before receiving a permanent ban.

However, Rostislav_999 soon continued playing on the stream, but from a different Dota 2 account. Valve may probably ban his new account as well.

Recall that earlier, Alexander "Nix" Levin said that the main problem of The International 2025 is not the prize pool.
