BetBoom Team Faces Technical Loss at the Major Due to a Spotify Pause: Details of Success!

Recently, BetBoom Team suffered a defeat in their match against Tundra Esports at The Bali Major 2023 in Dota 2. However, discussions arose in the community about the European roster’s alleged rule violations as well. Some messages claimed that the offlaner Neta 33 Shapira and support Ivan Pure Moskalenko were opening Twitch during pauses. In Shapira’s case, this turned out to be untrue; he simply launched a music player, Spotify, and not a Twitch stream.

It’s also worth noting that support Jingjun Sneyking Wu left the gaming room during a pause. However, in many tournaments, participants are allowed to leave The Room during technical pauses to use the restroom.

The punishment for BetBoom Team was related to Pure’s actions. During the pause, he briefly minimized the Dota 2 window and opened Twitch, where Alexander Nix Levin’s stream was live.

As a result, Pure’s team will have to compete against Azure Ray in the lower bracket of the playoffs, while Tundra advanced to the championship’s semifinals. Due to this, BetBoom Team lost their guaranteed spot in the top 12 of the DPC 2023 rankings.

In this manner, BetBoom Team faced unpleasant consequences for their violations and now must fight for survival in the playoffs. This serves as a serious lesson for the team and a reminder of the importance of following the rules and ethics in the world of esports.
