Y0nd mocked the purchase of pumped accounts by beginners

According to Oleg "y0nd" Vazhnov, newbies buy accounts with high MMR because they think that the games will become more interesting. But, in fact, these expectations are always not met, the streamer said during his personal broadcast on Twitch.

“I usually hear ‘I can’t get above my rank, there are definitely cool rinks at high MMR, I’ll play there and always win,’” he shared. “And then — ‘How did you lose? Man, it really didn’t work out.’”

In Dota 2 and many other online games people often pump and sell accounts as one of the ways to monetize game time. Newcomers want to start from higher positions without spending time on account development.

Previously streamer Jean "Gorgc" Stefanowski talked about a new phenomenon called “smurf pool,” which arose due to a wave of blocking for Overwolf app.
