A bit of side news, a Russian DOTA 2 player, Pure, was caught drawing the letter Z on the minimap in a DOTA 2 tournament qualifier match:

The significance of this is that Pure's team, Virtus.Pro, is playing as Outsiders, due to VP being associated with Russian Oligarchs. Their opponent, Mind Games, is a Ukrainian team with 2 Ukranian players on it.

Following that incident, BTS, the tournament's organizer, disqualified Outsiders from the entire tournament.

And here's Pure's statement about the incident. He claimed that it was an accident, which no one is buying because Russians Bad.

What I wonder is if bans like this will be come more common place in DOTA 2. Valve, who tries to be as hands-off about their games as possible, usually only bans players for either cheating (VAC bans), or match-fixing. One notable exception to that is when Kuku got suspended, and his team was disqualified from a tournament, due to racism against Chinese players in a pub game. It's as if some people in the community want Valve to become like the authoritarian game companies like EA, Blizzard, Riot Games, Wizards of the Coast, and Ubisoft, and want players to get banned for things like misgendering a person (even if that said person has something like a Xe/Xi pronoun), or for voting Republicans.
everything is fair in a proxy war

This cover has so many uses now. Really time has done us all a service by publishing it.
It did not take long for 4chan to do their stuff.

I legit wonder when EU NPCs and citizens will grow tired of such perfomances.
They already are but this kind of performance is basically something that you have to tolerate or you’re a bad sport. I’ve spent a decent amount of time in the EU and shit like this happens all the time. Most people just ignore the show.

Most countries have had an absolutely devastating experience by joining the EU. I believe its Bulgaria that had nearly 1/5th of its population depart for wealthier nations, admission to the EU has had a greater depopulating effect than the world wars. Admitting your poor as shit country into the EU is only beneficial to the wealthy, it puts the country into a death spiral and the monetary compensation the EU does for such population drains is no where near commensurate to the damage done to the fabric of society.
I am from a different Eastern European country, but can confirm. A tenth of my countrymen left since we joined the EU, most of them people who just finished school, and none of them ever want to look back. I was out today with some extended family who live near the border and one older relative talked about how everyone who receives their papers verifying them as some skilled laborer they immediately travel 20km across the border to get 5 times the starting salary. Doesn't help that the most the EU money that should go into infrastructure upgrades and government services ends up in the politicians pockets one way or another, but we already take that for granted around here.

Out of curiosity, how much gets sent back in remittances? Do people work abroad and return, or do they stay gone for good?
 
I'm not sure if I should be glad that Ukrainians are reasonable or horrified by how retarded Twitterioids are.

(So what about the incident? What was discussed during the investigation? What is the exact reason for terminating a player's contract if they were just drawing something on the map? I'm generally confused by this ambiguous situation. Who is right here who is to blame?)

Here's the video that started this cretin tantrum.

If people live near the border they usually just drive over to work but live here, everyone who travels to countries beyond that usually just leaves for good and returns for the holidays. As for money we're very closed about that culturally so it doesn't really get disussed, but I am sure people help out their immediate families.
 
So not sure if this has been posted, but Putin said Luhansk and Donbass have right to be free just like KOSOVO is.
That made Serbia screeching like a mad autistic out of chicken tendies about Russia betraying them AND stabbing them in back!

:story:

Like anyone ever cared about what Serbia thinks.

The average person is tired of such performances, just you'll never hear about it. There really isn't an avenue to speak out about this shit in EU countries. Only people who fall for it are people living in the gay capitals with too much time spent in proximity to students and old simple-minded grannies who believe anything the media tells them on moral issues.
 
I mean Russia is not Multiculturalist its Anti LGBT anti Progresive with how warped the minds of NPCs are Russia is literally Voldemortl for them. Man i so hope for economic crash and purge this word is too retarded.
Anti-degeneracy =/= anti-lgb(t- maybe)
