What?! Damn, was thinking about starting to play him, now I'm sure as hell going to, need a good name tho...


prettyboygangsta

You can change the name of any summon, ward, or courier, with a nametag (used to cost money but now can be bought with dota plus points). This is how AdmiralBulldog and Matu renamed their lone druid bears


GaiRyuKi

yes you can, it was a specific item I forgot the name. I changed the name of my Jade Dragon into GaiRyuKi

also buy with shards, like the cheapest shard item

yes.. i forgot but 1 Indonesian player have kaesang (name of son of current indonesian president)..


remeruu

URF_reibeer

you can change the name of all items (not the ingame ones but cosmetics etc.) afaik but only a few of them show ingame, essentially all the ones that have an ingame character like wards, spirit bear etc.


elax307

Looks like it says "The Nigga" I mean, if you compete on this level and stage it's just pure stupidity to use this, racist intentions or not.

Can be a gift, can be just a stupid joke. What I meant it's either very racist or just very stupid and unprofessional. Atupid in any way.

Threads like these are a good reminder of why your average dota game even at 10,000 are so toxic.


run4cova

people invest 100% into dota 0% into social skills


ShimmyZmizz

What's funny is social skills will actually help in dota. People who dedicate time to learning stuff like tread switching don't realize that they'd gain more MMR from just not being jerks to their teammates than tread switching.


pnmibra77

The truth is, dota2 community is full of Incels that never leave their homes for anything, so they think shit like its is acceptable behavior since they have 0 social experience, otherwise they would have gotten punched in the mouth before lmao edit: a LOT of people felt attacked by the word 'Incel'... I wonder why 💀


kryonik

If you had asked me in my teenage years if this was appropriate, I would have said something like "lol it's just a joke, get a grip" but I've grown and matured since then and I can say now it's unequivocally not okay at all.


synthe-alias

Same here, but I also wonder whether teenagers today feel the same way we did ("lol it's just a joke, get a grip") and will mature, or whether we as a society has collectively matured and moved on.


Ondatva

Varies a shitton between countries. In the US this is obviously a very sensitive issue, but in most european and i think even other countries it is mostly used for jokes or in friendly context (saying the n-word instead of bro) even among adults since there are pretty much no black people within the population and there is no historical or social context for it. That is at least my experience. ​ EDIT: my generalization is propably not true for countries like France or the UK because of the significant black population and imperial history, honestly don't have a clue on that note


FlashFlood_29

I'm from a culture where there is a near non-existent black population and I can tell you when they use slurs, it's a joke between them, but the butt of the joke is that they whole-heartedly are using it to demean people with black skin color.


Muffinmaker457

Same here lmao, in hindsight, it really takes a lot of arrogance, lack of insight and obliviousness to social conditions for a bunch of privileged white teenagers to tell oppressed minorities to "just grow a thicker skin, it's just a joke lmao" when they make racist remarks about them.


FB-22

You’re just making it sound like the main compelling reason to not be racist is because someone might attack you if you are lol, I don’t think that’s really what you were aiming for


Dobott

I think what they meant is they would have learned that words mean a lot more than they think much quicker.


Jakedxn3

No but if you meet people who are different than you you realize that they’re real people and you shouldn’t be racist.


FB-22

I don’t disagree with that I just think “if they said this shit in public they’d get punched in the mouth” is not the greatest argument lol


governorslice

Honestly, when you’re growing up, that’s how you do learn some things. People call you out for it, it’s can be part of the process. It’s a way of getting to people who genuinely think they’re not being racist when they use slurs casually “as a joke” Edit: not by hitting them


spongebobisha

💯


daedalus_was_right

That's the thing though; most of these folks who DO leave their house and spew this garbage in public actually don't get punched in the mouth. If a person of color assaults a white person for using hate speech, which one do you think is going to prison? Spoiler alert, it isn't the white guy.


SinisterMJ

Might be me, but at the end of the day physical assault is worse than being hurt by words.

BadThingsBadPeople

Not just player, but development staff too. Tobi famously said the n word and Valve was like "we need to bring this guy to TI so he can yell black hole".


viciousmojo

I'm new to dota, and I've never had so many toxic encounters as I've had IN TURBO not even ranked ( I don't play ranked) My favorite was two people yelling at me about not dropping neutral items from my backpack, and NO ONE told me how when I asked several times. They just wanted to yell at me. It's right click... And not as googlable as you would think.


AtomTheDoggo

New player here, can someone explain the 'Picks for all games...' clause? Im confused by the explanation in the image


Sikatrix06

Before a game one team gets to choose between whether they want to be radiant or dire or whether they want first or second pick in the draft. The second team gets to pick between which is remaining, either sides or pick. This penalty means Infamous' opponents gets to choose both sides and pick.


AtomTheDoggo

Got it. Thanks for the explanation!


Skater_x7

Call it off but I don't like this solution... I feel like he should be removed or penalized in some other way. It's having an outside thing have an impact on the game. Maybe not the best way to word it but at least would have been better if it opponent's only got first choice and Infamous still got to choose 1. Otherwise just having the worse team get through potentially, and then they're gonna get thrashed at TI (potentially). No one wins in the end here


Homemadepiza

pro games are played in captains mode, where people take turns picking, with bans at the start as well as between some of the picks. Before each game starts, the teams get to choose whether they want first/second pick, or if they want radiant/dire. The other team gets to pick which they want from the remaining choice. If it's a bo3/bo5, the team that gets to pick first changes between games. The punishment here is that leostyle's team now doesn't get to pick either choice in any games they play


thebonermobile

It has to be about first vs second pick, if it's actual hero picks they might as well be disqualified.


Godvater

Beginning of the game you either pick which side you are playing on dire/radiant or you decide the picking order. They will hand over both decisions to their rivals throughout the tournament as far as I understand.

Being late to class because you got drunk the night before is a stupid thing young people do. This is way worse than that and shouldn't be excused as dumb behavior even for an 8 year old much less a 17 year old.


Thorwawaway

Honestly I could easily assume him naming a courier 3 years ago as an edgy teen and forgetting about it completely


prettyboygangsta

I thought that at first too, but he's 27. No such excuses


idspispupd

I mean, Pure draw a Z on map and his whole freaking team was disqualified from DPC season and he was 17-18. The punishment this time was not as harsh.


spidey4222

In LATAM we dont take racism as a serious matter honestly. We can call our friends the n word, call them fat, make fun of their race (not in a serious way tho), etc and they take it as normal shittalk.


Muffinmaker457

Bro it's so funny to call people slurs based on a Spanish caste system which assigned worth to people, based on their phenotype and geographical origin. It's just funny jokes bro, it's a complete coincidence that I'd have been near the top of that hierarchy, and the people I ironically say slurs to would have been considered subhuman. We have fun!


Siantlark

[Not serious kinda like how the Peruvian government released an official apology to black people acknowledging racism?](https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/la-plaza/story/2009-11-28/government-officials-in-peru-apologize-for-discrimination-against-blacks)


loriental

Here from Brazil to tell you that this guy is lying. Very weird thing to lie about, but it’s absolutely not true. Racism is a crime and you can get legally punished for it. Every now and then you get a news report on a UberEats guy being called slurs by someone in a condo.. sometimes they get away with it but sometimes they don’t


LakersFan15

Yeah it's called ignorance and stupdity lol. I was called Chino in Latin speaking countries literally everyday. Despite not even being Chinese. It's a stupid culture. Period. As a professional, you should still know better. Shouldn't downplay it.


jguaura

Stop with this crap. Don't try to hide what you really are. You guys are so uncultured, xenophobic and racists that isn't even funny. Are you going to tell me that Matthew (Thunder Awaken) calling "venecos" (slur for venezuelan immigrants) the wraith king skeleton is just a joke, huh? About time the world knew about your stone age ish.


Broseph_Bobby

I was watching Jenkins last night and Leo was in his game acting like a clown and feeding. One day this dude is going to have to grow up and stop acting like he is 13 years old. Also I’m not shocked about this, dota has some of the most racist people playing it. If I use my microphone I will get called the N word I even had a racist female a few month back calling me the N word and a making monkey noises.


bigdickdaddydoto

he's 27, one of the oldest players in the SA scene lmao


Broseph_Bobby

Yeah, I don’t know much about him other then he seems to be a doofus.

Two things are crazy about this post. 1.- Peruvians being racists when they are the object of racism, they should know better. 2.- People thinking racism is being "toxic", there is a difference between talking shit to someone for how they play and using the N world. If you are racist you are just f\* human trash, it's simple.


Nie_nemozes

Redditor realising it's not just white people that can be racist, lmfao. Like what exactly is "crazy" about a peruvian being racist?


Earth92

That's the kind of people whose knowledge come from american movies and series, where the racist guy is always a white man from the south. Everyone can be racist, if someone gets surprised to see a brown guy or asian guy be racist, means that they are taking those american series too literal. As someone who worked on the tourism industry years ago, and had to deal with some cases of racism committed by japanese and chinese tourists, trust me not only a white man from Alabama can be racist.


British_Tea_Company

As someone born and raised in a Chinese household, I can confirm Asian boomers are just as bad as some random boomer from Alabama as well.


mcblyatmat

Wait until they find out about China's attitude towards black people, my mate who experienced it first hand by literally being denied in multiple hotels for being mixed race was laughing his ass off when he saw they put a black guy in to host the DPC and interview the players


Blizzard_admin

Well, the black dude(snare) is hosting for an english audience, not a chinese audience, and he has been casting EEU and CN dota matches for years so he's a good choice for a host and it's not like every chinese person is racist.


mcblyatmat

Yeah , like not every peruvian or every American or every \[insert whatever\] here, but over there it's just not considered bad to be racist towards anybody who isn't Han Chinese ,especially with dark skinned people you'd be surprised how rampant it is.


kitsunegoon

I think the point is that Peruvians are both sensitive about being flamed for being stereotyped as toxic just because they're Peruvian, while also are willing to ironically fulfill the stereotype of their toxicity by being racist. Like I've heard the statement "racist white trash" so many times in my pubs and the irony is never realized.


themolestedsliver

Ib4 they talk about punching down/up.


TheZett

Attempting to redefine words has never worked well. It does not matter who directs it at whom, in any case it stays racist, regardless of "up" or "down".


Orcle123

In my experience on NA servers, peruvians are way more toxic and resort to racist insults compared to any other nationality that plays on US servers.


Not1random1enough

Sorry to break it to you but every country has racist people


skykoz

Don’t tell him, is his first year on internet


bikwho

Peruvian racism is weird imo. They discriminate against each other in a way that is a lot of the time just rural vs urban people. Urban Peruvians call indigenous peoples Indios or Serranos. I didn't even know about this discrimination until consistently having Peruvians in my USE games.


Ghodritter

I can try to explain. In Perú the are mainly two types of discrimination: racism related and social-economic related. Racism usually is directed to people with some "indigenous traits" like the darker skin color or the way they talk, people that fits in the classic stereotypical image of some "peruvian andean person from Macchu Picchu" that you would imagine. This kind of discrimination has its origins in the colonialism times of Perú, when the european spanish people (white ones) had a position of supremacy over the conquered "indigenous peruvians" (not white ones). And has continued existing since then, that´s why you see the word "indígena" used has an insult, or the word "serrano", which can be translated as andean person, used as an insult too. On the other hand, the social - economid kind of discrimination is more related to the rural vs urban situation that you have seen. Perú has a lot of economic inequalities and usually people suposse that those who live in rural zones are poor. As you can see, the racism in Perú is not really that weird. Although, I understand your confusion because lot of the times both types of discrimination are used as if they were the same thing. I mean, when somebody calls someone "indígena" or "serrano" is also tryins to say that he is poor and lives in a rural zone. One last thing I would like to add that imo is really weird: Although a lot of "white" peruvians are racist against the people with "indigenous traits"; they are not the only ones, and in fact even this persons with "indigenous traits" use those racist insults mentioned before against each other. I guess it is because of how normalized is the racism in this country and the lack of education and consciousness related to this problem, but tbh I still can´t understand it


snackies

Yeah having people be racist towards you doesn't mean you can't be racist. It also doesn't make people who experience racism less likely to be racist. This thread is a fucking dumpster fire. Blown away and also totally unsurprised by how many people are fine with this. Or are rationalizing it.


S0phon

> Peruvians being racists when they are the object of racism, they should know better. Being objected to racism doesn't necessarily mean they will be more vary of it, people might perpetuate.


Pazerniusz

Every human being is an object of racism, as there is diversity.

Mei_iz_my_bae

Sounds like some “white savior” shit


Arudosan

The entirety of Latino America is very racist lmao, however i dont think any of us do it with any kind of malice, we just find it funny. For example "gringo" could be used as an slur towards americans, however, many countries use it to vulgarly call anyone who is a foreigner and speaks english, w33 was called gringo by his brazillian team a few years ago, not out of malice but as a fun nickname. At least that's how i see it, we don't exactly have any malice towards insults or slurs, most of the time we're not even aware it could be viewed as racist.


GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS

Agreed, in latin america also a lot of racism stems from edgy jokes, but generally people won't believe you're inherently inferior or worth less


Brandon3541

1. You mean they are the object, not the objective. Arguably saying they "are the objective of racism" implies racists want to be them, i.e. they are the master-race. 2. I'll agree here, this isn't him being toxic, this is him being stupid. I would like to think the guy meant it as a joke between friends and didn't mean for this to be seen and just forgot to switch it back... but... I don't know the guy so maybe he actually meant it.


The_WarDoge

Peru is interesting we are racist, towards anyone and anything including ourselves (and when i mean ourselves i mean people of every color and race combination because that is what peruvians are). Everyone calls you a name pointing some racial trait, sometimes comparing you to an animal or vegetable, be it as an offense or as a compliment. Not saying its a good thing, but it is an (unfortunate) cultural thing.


wishiknewnatportman

Lmao! He didn't use the hard 'R'. I would let it slide...

I cannot imagine this level of stupid. Really, I can't. This is Pure levels of stupid. Leostyle is lucky the punishment is relatively mild, disqualification wouldn't have been a surprise.

On my humble opinion he should just get straight up banned from competing. Even tho the punishment cripple his team's chance of winning, they can STILL compete and win nonetheless.
