Wind and Rain player Vladimir «yol» Basov spoke on Reddit about the situation in the team, the ban from Valve and his disagreement with this decision.
First of all I have no words, I'm literally shocked when I saw this post. I have no clue how this is related to me.
So basically my friend whos doing managment stuff asked me if I want to try to qualify for dpc 2 on NA. I said "sure mate why not what's the roster?" he told me it's frogoos satesate rrl sword + you I didn't know any of them but answered yes lets try.
We lost first qualifier in 1/4, next one we got in to final day I went sleeping and next morning our manager told me we dont have to play because somehow he arranged on merging with other team which has slot at div 2. I was a bit surprised. Manager explained that rrl asked him if he can let him go to play for 5man midas + he already was discussing this possible merge with szabo.
After merge was approved and all settled we started scrimming with new teammates borco and szabo. Things went quite rough for us we won like 2 scrims out of 30 and lost first two official games as you can imagine team atmosphere wasn't good at all, so we decided to replace borco with madara and make szabo play his initial role pos4. This change helped a bit but still every game was it scrim or official were just pure chaos for us sate wasn't talking much sword was playing with his little kid sitting on his lap muting mic every 30 secons meanwhile madaras mic was making some loud scratching noises etc.
My thoughts was "alright this team is a mess but we have to finish official games just chill and play dota". When we had score 1-4 madara got banned because he said smth rasist to his friend in pub and somebody made screenshot of this and sent to valve. At this moment I wasn't surprised because I realised any crazy shit can happen in this team. Then right before our game vs 5manmidas some health emergency happened to me so I had to miss game and we got tech loss because of it.
Our last game vs felt was quite important cuz if we would've won we could play tiebreakers for 6th place to earn some money, but unfortunately we lost. Next day I saw post on reddit about some odds changing heavily right before our game vs felt and ppl suspecting us in 322. My reaction was "haha if only they could've listened to our discord in games" like I said every game was it scrim or official was pure random. So I closed it with a smile on my face and switched to doing other stuff in my life. And now latenight im reading that my team and I got banned FOREVER at any valve event's for doing matchfixing wtf?
All im saying is I didnt got payed from anyone and I didn't ever bet on my games. I was just playing na dpc2 with mix for fun cuz I had such chance. I dont want to blame particular person but if some guy in our team did some bets why the rest players who didn't know about it should suffer. Valve made statement without showing any evidance and just banned my WHOLE team. How is this fair?
Don't know what to add to this, hope valve can shed some light on this situation and people who is innocent will not get punished.
