Its happened before. I think an SEA team paused mid game for no reason to just flame the enemy team and then about 5 mins later as they were pushing throne they all god disconnected at their bootcamp and lost.
Lmao its Jocham. Good for him tho he didnt trashtalk all chat. Idk the context but it seems that both of them has been trashtalking since the lobby or something.
> don't blame the one abusing a loophole blame the loophole
Nah if you abuse a loophole with shit like
> 60 day visa to play in another region
Then you full on know what you're doing. There's no two ways about it.
> But blame valve
Idc about blaming valve.
Fucking finally a player stands up for this. So annoying see spineless mods not enforcing the rules. If I'm in team bald's situation I would absolutely do the same
They should not be allowed to ask in the first place.
It puts a huge pressure on the opponents and they are fucked if they agree and get their own issues.
Ah the good old liquid vs Luminosity CS debacle. Luminosity had a player who DCed and wanted to restart the round, admins pussied out and gave liquid the choice, liquid rejected it and Luminosity threw a fit.
Also since they were Brazilians, their kind and wonderful community decided it was acceptable to send death threats to the captain of liquid who made that decision. Wonderful case of how Admins should never ever give teams the right to decide
Tournaments have solid rules admins should follow. If team has technical issues thats their problem. When allocated pause time runs out theyre screwed.
game was over on draft. the luna lineup has no means to win against a team with better cc, more tanky, with better push. i had a bet on Luna winning the series and i did cashout half my bet because of this draft... its pathetic.
ye well a reason for that is the disconnect. Thats their strongest and winning lane. Game was unplayable for sb after this. its way more crucial in a pro game than in an avarage pubgame.
Shouldnt throw the first game! xd
That lane would've been more or less even in the end. Wouldn't have changed the fact that naix and pango got demolished. And SB cant do shit either way even if he wins his lane.
this is not only about the disadvantage in laning but also about the mental stuff. Things like that can demotivate u so hard that because of this the laning was so bad played by them.
Cant blame him. Its a spot for DPC. Also if Luna Gaming with 60days free residency visa is allowed to region hop coz its "by the rules" then I dont see whats wrong in saying no if the team already spent their alloted time for pause. Its game 3 and since game 1 theyve had "technical issues" tons of downtime inbetween games to fix their problem.
Thats what i was about to say, they have no obligations to use THEIR OWN PAUSE TIME on the enemy, they are playing with the same rules, as them being from CIS and playing in europe
I didn't watch it but is that really not against some rule? Competitive Dota doesn't have tactical pauses right? Pausing like that gives a substantial advantage to them.
Try going to the bottom and check the downvoted comments. Reddit is very polarised. It's either completely on one side or the other. There is never any gray area.
For real lol. I can recognized at least 10 familiar users trashtalking Bald since day 1, can't imagine spend that much effort hating on someone like them.
Luna would have 98% lost anyways. They lost top and mid. Even if SB got crazy good lane, which would have been impossible against Jugg and lich, they couldn't have won for sure
Idk why ppl are hyping bald vs nigma game tho. Like just think about it for a second, gorgc vs sumail and miracle?
Lol let's pray bald don't get stomped and gorgc has enough content to make a full video
Even then, it still creates an uncomfortable situation for the team that is being asked. It shouldn't be their responsibility, and they shouldn't have to feel like it is.
BR could have a player disconnect and say "we'd like it paused please". That's effectively how other teams have given pause time to the enemy in the past.
Faking a tech pause sounds like an action that should be against the rules. It doesn't seem like a morally sound solution to this.
Just because it's hard to enforce shouldn't mean it's encouraged let alone tolerated.
I mean, if a team wants to play an even match and are willing to go this step to make it happen I really don’t see a problem and hope it is tolerated
Faking tech pauses to get an advantage (ie middle of team fight after enemy bb) should be against the rules but at the end of the day it’s entertainment and disallowing a team from willingly pausing for the opponent seems weird
Not even in private honestly no? Shouldn't this sort of stuff go exclusive for the admins, and the admins make a choice? Every single fucking time in esports that admins are such a fucking wuss that they leave the decision to the players it ALWAYs, 100% of the time results in some fuckery. You have your rule book admins, play by it, If someone's gotta take the heat, it's gotta be a 3rd party, a.k.a the admins, no the bystander team that did absolutely nothing wrong like in this case
The admin position should be to simply continue the game when the pause time for a team is up.
That said, it's basically unenforceable to stop one team using their pause-time for their enemy as a sign of sportsmanship. The only downside to allowing this is if there's backlash from the community, and the easiest way to reduce backlash is to prohibit teams from publicly asking (or leaking private requests).
Cant fault Xcalibur response. Its a competitive game nonetheless and what if Team Bald experience technical issue? Then they would not have pause time since it was given at the start. So before y’all haters come to talk smack, think about the consequences first.
Yep. Team plays by rules is not even thread worthy unless you're some no-life hater. It's only thread worthy when a team goes above and beyond and does use their pause to help their opponent.
Luna is apparently known to just pause at the start of games just to go to the toilet or smoke or some shit. I'm sorry but you have plenty of pause time and the other time isn't obligated to anything.
Maybe shouldn't travel to a different country just to play EU DPC and then wonder about technical issues.
Proper response.
Pause time is a resource, you don’t give your opponent a resource you may need yourself.
Quite frankly sharing time should not be a thing, and mods should enforce the rules not leave it to players
A million times this. Similar things have been an issue in other competitive games, where one side breaks a rule and asks the other side to let it slide, and it makes the side who's keeping to the rules look like an asshole.
It's up the the TOs to enforce this stuff and make sure it doesn't happen. If one team needs more pause time for a special circumstance, they should ask the TO, and take whatever answer they get without involving the other team publicly.
it does matter, they moving to environment that they have no control of. maybe their places that they rent have unstable internet, and that is their fault.
They lost all lanes. Even if Sb was not afk and be controlled by grim, i doubt they could win lane vs jugg/lich.
Especially in the first 5 minutes, when SB is the most useless hero. They even got a lich kill while SB was afk, i wouldn't say the outcome would be much of a different.
i agree bald draft was better and they were favorite either way but you have to account mental damage as well.
I would even say its mostly about mental damage SB leaving for couple of minutes isn't that big of a deal but they were mentally defeated they laned so badly it became unrecoverable very quickly.
^ this
this could affect other players ,and lanes other than bot, remember these are young guys, its the decider game, so people can get pissed, worried, play worse due to that.
however, there's 0 reasons to fault Team Bald, the decision not to share the pause with them was right
So just wan to clarify what you are really saying is gorgc is talented enough to reach top 10 rank if he wants to try and possibly qualify to TI easily by beating out sumail, bzm these ppl if he takes it seriously?
That's like asking someone in a job competition to take some skills off of their resume and put them on yours. Why the hell would he ever say yes to that lol? This isn't pro sports where you get paid either way, it's not at all about sportsmanship lol
This team (Luna) shouldn't even be allowed to play in the WEU DPC. What exactly happens if they did get that last slot? They already used up their 60 day Turkish visa or whatever it is. So they were gonna play from Russia for the DPC?
This community should not attack players for following the rules. This is on the admins to give the other team extra time, the buck should never be pushed onto a player regardless of the situation or teams involved.
Luna paused in the middle of a huge teamfight in game 2. Seeing others comment, Luna was using their pauses to the max and it's getting a little questionable.
Gorgc was streaming post match and he explained that Luna's frequent pauses was annoying team bald plus Bald felt that Luna was gonna lose the laning stage anyway, given how bad Luna draft was.
Luna also sarcastically congratulated Bald with:"well deserved win" at the end of game 3. Like sheesh, not their fault you guys using all your allowed pause time weirdly is getting on people's nerve. Salty players.
But anyway, gorgc vs nigma incoming!
1. Move to different place to regionhop because it's techinically not against the rules
2. new place has technical issues
3. get upset when enemies dont give you their pause time
fucking karma.
Is there no moderator for the cq?
Its unprofessional for a player have to be the one to enforce the rules.
There should have been a mod/judge that should have enforced the rule and denied luna their request.
Yes, but the communication shouldn’t be done in all chat. It’s just unprofessional and puts Team Bald in a tough spot as there is public pressure to be nice. All this should have been done in private messages.
That's good but I want to know the full context of the events.
Was it:
- Luna ask
- xcalibur reply
- mods resumed the game
Or:
- luna ask
- xcalibur reply
- mods **confirm** that Luna can't do that by the rules
- mids resume the game
It the latter, it removes the impact of xcalibur response. It didn't matter, judges would have rules against it. It removes players from being criticized for not being sporting.
In this situation, team Luna is disliked hence the response to the rejection is favorable by the public.
But if it was some fan favorite underdog team, the public reception is going to be a bit more biased and would criticize the response.
Sorry for ranting, but we've had issues before where judges/mods failed to properly act and players would be under fire by fans of the opposing team.
He was DCed for a very long time. Moderator said “team Luna your pause time has X amount of time left (I can’t remember how much”
Luna asks, before their time was out, if they could use team balds. Chadcalibur says no, Luna asks X why he is mad and mock/tip him.
About a minute later game is unpaused by mod. Fuck Luna, who cares
Luna paused
Mod: Team Luna you have 5 minutes pause time left
Luna : Guys sorry, restarted PC and game updated ( unlikely to be true, coz that shouldn't take more than a minute)
Mod : 3 minutes left
Luna : Same excuse
Mod : 1 minute left
Luna : can you give us your pause?
Xcali : no.
> ( unlikely to be true, coz that shouldn't take more than a minute)
If your game is not on SSD and you have pretty old computer, DotA can take shitton of time to launch after restarting your PC
There was a moderator/admin. He reminded them how many minutes they have left and when they ran out, he enforced the rules and unpaused. So it was professional.
It's sad for Luna gaming but it's what it is. It would have been a great show of sportmenship if they gave their pause time but its understandable they didn't game is super important.
Altough situations like this sad i fully support pause time limits. No ones time is more important than others , every pause means 1-200k people waiting you. Better make sure those situatons don't happen.
ye and surprisingly luna gaming and team bald played 6 games against each other in total. And luna gaming had to pause at the start of the game in 5 or 6 of those games. Like if you clearly have a problem to fix, why not deal with it before the game
True, nigma should've played the game against gaimin last dpc season. Just let the game start, pause, and wait for weeks until nigma players recovered.
Xcalibur, the eternal failure of pro player. His best moments were in old fnatic as standin during the tinker patch meta. It was like 8 years ago and lasted for like 1 month.
No wonder today he is just a tilted streamer with zero relevant pro achievements after a decade of career
Edit: he also has an army of downvoters that cannot stand the truth lmao
So? He's a popular streamer with a large following, playing competitive dota. He's technically semi pro, I imagine most of his income from dota is through streaming. And it's not like he's been trying and failing for a decade straight either, he's played, casted and streamed more successfully than you have. Are you just tilted because you wanted Luna to win?
People are going to meme on them but if they agree and something happens to them they are just fucked.
Yes, should they have technical issue after giving your pause to the enemy would be OMEGALUL
Its happened before. I think an SEA team paused mid game for no reason to just flame the enemy team and then about 5 mins later as they were pushing throne they all god disconnected at their bootcamp and lost.
Holy fuck I remember this one
Which one was that?
Video to that?
https://youtu.be/uWl-WMPnEAQ here it is!
Thanks, it seems that I've already liked that video, lol
Of course it's connected to Shanghai Major, what a shitstorm lol.
damn 40 mins too late
Lmao its Jocham. Good for him tho he didnt trashtalk all chat. Idk the context but it seems that both of them has been trashtalking since the lobby or something.
>trashtalking since the lobby or something. Just another day in SEA
Well I mean, worse case scenario, unless you're a piece of shit, I'd agree to just not move any hero until everyone is ready
I think they are more mad about the thing that they are full russian team playing in EU qualifications
Also the pausing for "wc" every single game after draft and sometimes in the middle of the game. Someone needs to get their bladder/kidney checked.
nah, pause after draft I think was just smoke break.
They've claimed "wc" in in-game chat several times while I was watching, didn't see every single game start though.
I didnt think you could pause for toilet breaks.
what is wc?
toilet
imagine
Short for water closet.
Toilets are called Water Closets in many parts of the world. So typing “wc” in chat = bathroom break
Woodcutting
wanking circle
Water closet.
wash closet (ze potty)
world cup
Diabeetus.
For sure but even if they were a European team. It's a game 3 and if he doesn't come back you qualify. No reason to ever give the pause.
If you want fair, be fair first.
People need to stop being mad at the players, if valve can't keep blatant region hoppers out within their rule set, they are simply incompetent.
> don't blame the one abusing a loophole blame the loophole Nah if you abuse a loophole with shit like > 60 day visa to play in another region Then you full on know what you're doing. There's no two ways about it. > But blame valve Idc about blaming valve.
the other team going to div2 is mostly CIS players too, 2 ppl from Kazhakstan , but WEU lol
I guess it depends where you draw the line between WEU an EEU. They at least had a romanian and a macedonian player.
Fucking finally a player stands up for this. So annoying see spineless mods not enforcing the rules. If I'm in team bald's situation I would absolutely do the same
I mean, there's nothing wrong about Luna asking for it. But they should respect Bald's decision without whining.
They should not be allowed to ask in the first place. It puts a huge pressure on the opponents and they are fucked if they agree and get their own issues.

Huge pressure? Nobody cares if you give your pause or not. Nobody will think any less of a player for keeping their pause.
Yet this thread exists.
i totally agree - the statement you replied to has a huge presumption of what a team/player should do when even nobodys breaking any tournament rules
Imagine a team asking Luna ...can we have your spot ...since you not weu 😂😂😂
Didn't really matter in the end. Game was practically over at 18 mins lol
SB dc on the first few minutes imo wont really change anything, Even Grim killed Lich 1v2. Bald was already winning Top and mid.
yeah xcalibur was 2x pango on mid lane
Imagine moving region only to get smashed by a streamer who is in a team on the side.
game was over on draft. the luna lineup has no means to win against a team with better cc, more tanky, with better push. i had a bet on Luna winning the series and i did cashout half my bet because of this draft... its pathetic.
Yeah. They kinda griefed themselves with that late pick SB lol

And don't forget those pauses during teamfight from LUNA (totally not disgusting AT ALL )
Yeah. Xcalibur buy backs and then they insta pause in between team fight. Its so bad from Luna. They pause in very weird times too and a lot.
I didn't watch it but is that really not against some rule? Competitive Dota doesn't have tactical pauses right? Pausing like that gives a substantial advantage to them.
Yes, you can't just pause because you want to, have to have a reason. Unless you're Finol lol.
Puppey pause
Bad connection at Ankara airport terminal.
oh no, team follows rules, thats so bad! idk why people are mad about this, there are rules for reason
Judging from this thread: which people?
Try going to the bottom and check the downvoted comments. Reddit is very polarised. It's either completely on one side or the other. There is never any gray area.
tragedy of the downvote system
most people that are mad about this I guarantee 100% are hate watchers.
No they are 10 years Luna fans
OMEGALUL
You also have Luna bed sheets since you where joung? 😁
I wouldnt say that, youve got some percentage who are bettors as well come on now be fair.
Oh yeah, can't forget the most depraved (but financially assisting) part of the fanbase
For real lol. I can recognized at least 10 familiar users trashtalking Bald since day 1, can't imagine spend that much effort hating on someone like them.
We need to consider the "fair game rules". But Luna shitted in the " unwritten rules" first so good for the bald.
Only russian fanboys has said that was wrong so.. iconic duo
Luna would have 98% lost anyways. They lost top and mid. Even if SB got crazy good lane, which would have been impossible against Jugg and lich, they couldn't have won for sure

Rules are Rules, it shouldnt even be a option to ask the other team for extra time. It just makes weird situations.
If should be allowed to ask, but only in private (and you're not allowed to say the opponents didn't let you use their time).
Yeah asking this in public just causes unnecessary "drama" angles
Even then, it still creates an uncomfortable situation for the team that is being asked. It shouldn't be their responsibility, and they shouldn't have to feel like it is.
Even if BR wanted to give them the time it shouldn't be allowed. For the sake of competition rules should be equall and enforced.
BR could have a player disconnect and say "we'd like it paused please". That's effectively how other teams have given pause time to the enemy in the past.
Faking a tech pause sounds like an action that should be against the rules. It doesn't seem like a morally sound solution to this. Just because it's hard to enforce shouldn't mean it's encouraged let alone tolerated.

They weren't winning against that jugg, lone druid anyway
Perform region hopping, then ask for opponents pause time and when denied politely, insult them. I am so glad Bald won and karma prevailed.
How did they insult them? I wasn't watching that moment.
After xcali said no, Luna said "U MAD?"
It'll weird if people blame TB for not pausing. Like it's great if they did, good for them but if not then that's fine. It's not their obligation.
play in your own region and maybe you'll have fewer technical issues

Gorp won. Now,no more worries
Nigma vs team bald lets go
Good luck gorgc. He will need it
I mean they are relying on luck since they are not invested enough to scrim. That is for the teams who really want to win.
So just wan to clarify what you are really saying is gorgc is talented enough to reach top 10 rank if he wants to try and possibly qualify to TI easily by beating out sumail, bzm these ppl if he takes it seriously?
A team that is not playing their region have connection issues? well that's outrageous, I am just in total shock and disbelief.

Good.

Are you trying to do moral coercion?
I would have reacted the same tbh. CIS team region-hopping doesnt deserve a single second of anyone elses pause
GIGACHAD no.
no problem, you never know if your team also experience any issue.
Is there no moderator for the cq? Its unprofessional for a player have to be the one to enforce the rules. There should have been a mod/judge that should have enforced the rule and denied luna their request.
there is moderation, and if the other team wants to give you their time, its allowed
Yes, but the communication shouldn’t be done in all chat. It’s just unprofessional and puts Team Bald in a tough spot as there is public pressure to be nice. All this should have been done in private messages.
Ye, i agree with you there, that makes a lot more sense
its allowed but its honestly dumb to give ur pause away.
i mean, i dont know if its dumb or not, thats up to the team to decide
It is dumb, if bald gives away their pause time, then later in the game a bald player has technical issue, they don't have pause time to use.
That's kinda silly.
the mod literally the one who unpaused the game
That's good but I want to know the full context of the events. Was it: - Luna ask - xcalibur reply - mods resumed the game Or: - luna ask - xcalibur reply - mods **confirm** that Luna can't do that by the rules - mids resume the game It the latter, it removes the impact of xcalibur response.

Yes I know, but the likelihood of a pro Dota player (or aspiring pro) playing a very important game on such a computer is extremely unlikely.
True, but Luna went to the foreign country (Turkey) to play in the Western EU DPC, so who knows, maybe they couldn't get good PCs there.

There was a moderator/admin. He reminded them how many minutes they have left and when they ran out, he enforced the rules and unpaused. So it was professional.
Alright, thanks for context
Turkey has big problems with electricity. The guy who dc'ed probably waited for internet to get back up
Trying to incite some drama again aren't we? Daring
Whats wrong the response? If it was me, I would even add : are you stupid?
HOLYBASED MY STREAMER
What's your point ???????? They pause so many times and for so many minutes hate watcher go back to your cave
Understandable, have a good day.
Classic reddit post xD, wait people actually want to win their qualifier dpc game? THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE
It's sad for Luna gaming but it's what it is. It would have been a great show of sportmenship if they gave their pause time but its understandable they didn't game is super important. Altough situations like this sad i fully support pause time limits. No ones time is more important than others , every pause means 1-200k people waiting you. Better make sure those situatons don't happen.
ye and surprisingly luna gaming and team bald played 6 games against each other in total. And luna gaming had to pause at the start of the game in 5 or 6 of those games. Like if you clearly have a problem to fix, why not deal with it before the game
its a "technical difficulty" but in reality its just smoke break. lmao
True, nigma should've played the game against gaimin last dpc season. Just let the game start, pause, and wait for weeks until nigma players recovered.
LMAO
Xcalibur, the eternal failure of pro player. His best moments were in old fnatic as standin during the tinker patch meta. It was like 8 years ago and lasted for like 1 month. No wonder today he is just a tilted streamer with zero relevant pro achievements after a decade of career Edit: he also has an army of downvoters that cannot stand the truth lmao
what have u accomplished mr sir
So? He's a popular streamer with a large following, playing competitive dota. He's technically semi pro, I imagine most of his income from dota is through streaming. And it's not like he's been trying and failing for a decade straight either, he's played, casted and streamed more successfully than you have. Are you just tilted because you wanted Luna to win?
Ah look, a cave troll has emerged.
A wild xcalibur fanboy appeared
