Curious what you think Slacks is up to with Arkosh? He did a stupid WWE style ending today where they "won" by typing a string of random characters into chat and it cut to the enemy team's ancient exploding:

https://clips.twitch.tv/BumblingBadPeanutCoolStoryBob

They said the match was to determine if No Pango goes into the BTS Pro series that's happening right now. I figured it would be to create a stupid publicity stunt where BTS says that they don't permit winning via magic or something and then lets No Pango into the tournament instead of Arkosh (because presumably Arkosh is made of other players who are playing in the tournament as well?) but they haven't announced anything yet.

This was a joke. It was just a fake ending. Also no matter what you think of Slacks (besides that he's a national treasure), anything that builds interest in NA dota is good.

I'm more talking about the idea that apparently their opponent thought they were playing for something real, but they weren't. At the very least you gotta let the other team in on it or tell them it's not a real wager. Maybe they did do that and the other team are just good actors and fooling everyone, but it's hard to tell.

I am as big of a Slacks fan as anyone but if it turns out that he basically said to his stack "Sure, bet on this game, try your hardest, and here's the backup plan if you're about to lose where we can say you won anyways" and didn't share that with the other team it's a pretty dick move.

Agreed. I think it's pretty much confirmed Luki wasn't in on it, and this type of thing isn't funny if one person's getting legitimately ripped off

more relevantly, this poo poo is obviously just slacks trying to drive traffic to his channel by making arkosh the villains of the NA scene and getting people to watch his dumbass sacrificial cups.

yes because it doesnt do anything to help the scene in general and makes na look like an even less competitive region than it was before. like arkosh's whole brand was "lets save NA dota!" but really its just "lets boost slack's viewer numbers!" which is kinda hosed up. its also pretty hosed up that none of the nopango players knew about this poo poo ahead of time. it was just slacks dangling a hope at more competitive experience in front of young na players and then saying lolno. its just such a hosed up thing to do.

I think if he wanted to boost his brand creating an NA Dota2 team that loses to a Luki Luki stack aint the play.

I don't get why he's not first ban material? There's nothing else worth taking out of the game on that level. I mean first ban you remove Sven, Void, maybe PA. I don't get why that's not every games first three. What games has Sven lost? Maybe against a PA that gets a real early start, but I can't think of a single game where Sven gets a good start (or even a mediocre start) maybe gets aghs and loses mid or late game.

It was a clever solution, and it helps when the supports aren't vulnerable to a superman, Io is never really hiding in the back, and SD can disrupt himself. It means Sven has to man up against Ursa since there's no juicy backline to dive.
