HellRaisers face potential 50 DPC point penalty ahead of Dota 2 Lima Major
HellRaisers, the renowned Dota 2 team, finds themselves in hot water as they could potentially receive a 50 DPC point penalty leading up to the Dota 2 Lima Major.
The Dota 2 Pro Circuit (DPC) is a system designed to determine which teams will earn direct invitations to Valve’s yearly international tournament, The International. Points are accumulated throughout the season, and the top teams with the most DPC points secure their spots. However, any misconduct or violations can result in point deductions.
HellRaisers’ predicament stems from a recent misunderstanding during the 2021 DPC CIS regional league. The team unintentionally fielded a player, Maxim “y`” Kim, who was ineligible to compete. This violation of the rules has prompted an investigation from Valve, the game’s developers.
If HellRaisers is found guilty, they will face a 50 DPC point penalty, which could have significant implications for their chances of qualifying for The International. As of now, the team holds 1140 DPC points, placing them in a precarious position.
Fortunately for HellRaisers, there are no indications that their offense was deliberate or intentional. The organization has taken immediate steps to rectify the situation by removing Maxim “y`” Kim from the active roster and replacing him with Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin.
Valve’s decision on the matter is eagerly anticipated by both HellRaisers and the Dota 2 community. The potential penalty could drastically impact the team’s aspirations for earning a direct invitation to The International, an event with a massive prize pool.
The Dota 2 Lima Major is scheduled to take place in June, and teams are eager to secure their spots. HellRaisers’ current standing in the DPC rankings puts them at risk of being surpassed by other teams striving to earn more points. Only time will tell if they can bounce back from this setback and maintain their position among the top contenders.
In the competitive world of esports, every decision carries consequences. HellRaisers now finds themselves anxiously awaiting Valve’s ruling, hoping for a fair resolution and the opportunity to regain lost ground.
