Twenty-two-year-old Kurtis Ling from Vancouver and his team called the “Evil Geniuses” earned themselves a massive payday after winning a video game championship in Seattle.
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.
Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.
Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.
Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?
It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.
This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
Following the Dota 2 update that increased the size of the map by 40%, I asked League of Legends EP Jeremy Lee if we can expect similar things for LoL.
Gaming for a living? Now that's living the dream!
Go Canada Go. And with US Dollar exchange rate you can add about another 30% or so when converted to Cdn Dollars.
Good for him, except money doesn't last forever, an education would.
People forget money is an illusion, and is being debased every day. He could wake up tomorrow and his money could be bailed in to save a failing banks derivatives bet. Almost all banks around the world are completely and utterly insolvent.
Or the currency has been changed, or some hacker zeroed his account.
Are any of these likely? Aside from his bank going under or him being bailed in, the likelihood wouldn't be high, but the 2nd leg of the economic collapse is coming, and all bets are off.
What he can do now, is exchange some of this stuff for things he can physically own...property, land, resources, gold, silver, food, etc, etc.
An interesting stat also for the pitfalls of money even beyond any of this... did you know that something close to 90 percent of NFL players are broke within a few years after they retire?
...and of course he could have an accountant that runs off with his money or simply mismanages it. 'He told me to put it in the stock market....' hahaha.
Either way he's going to get robbed if he pays the bubble prices of a BC home.
Good luck young man, you may have money for now, but you still are likely to need the luck.
