Team Spirit Dota 2 team manager Dmitry Korb3n Belov has shared his reaction to the disqualification of Timur Travoman Khafizov’s team from the European Pro League Season 25. Belov’s statement was published on Telegram.
Hello, I am the CEO of a Dota 2 team, and today I will be betting ‘live’ on my guys losing.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. If you ever think you are stupid, remember this.
On March 20, Travoman publicly announced on social media that he had bet against his team, Rabotyagi, in a match at the European Pro League Season 25. Khafizov’s team lost the match, after which the organizers announced the team’s disqualification.
Commenting on the situation, Travoman pointed out the absence of a rule prohibiting a team owner from betting against their own team. Subsequently, the organizers added a “Travoman rule,” which you can read more about elsewhere.
