In a startling turn of events, South American esports organization Mad Kings has decided to part ways with its Dota 2 team, following a disruptive incident during the DreamLeague Season 22 South American closed qualifiers.
The termination comes in the wake of a ban issued to Mad Kings’ support player Steven “StingeR” Vargas in the midst of a series against Thunder Awaken.
Mid-Game Ban Shakes Mad Kings’ Dota 2 Dreams
The abrupt ban during the qualifier series against Thunder Awaken added a layer of drama to the competitive Dota 2 scene. Steven “StingeR” Vargas found himself banned mid-game, leading to an immediate default loss for Mad Kings and their subsequent elimination from the qualifiers. Investigations revealed that the ban was a consequence of account sharing involving StingeR and former carry player David “Parker” Nicho Flores.
Mad Kings’ Swift Response and Termination of Partnership
On January 18, Mad Kings took to Twitter to address the situation, making it clear that the organization was severing ties with estar_backs due to a violation of Valve’s rules. The decision was portrayed as a commitment to upholding the integrity of the game and abiding by the established regulations.
The organization stated, “Due to these rules being broken, we have made the decision to end our collaboration with estar_backs.”
Denial of Boosting Allegations
Amidst the controversy, Mad Kings refuted allegations of boosting raised by former Infamous player Pedro “mini” Paula. The organization explicitly stated that the account ban was not related to boosting, contrary to Mini’s claims.
Mad Kings emphasized its dedication to the esports community, pledging to continue creating content and coverage despite stepping back from competitive play.
“We will continue to bring the content and coverage that our community and followers support so much,” Mad Kings assured its fanbase.
