Valve Bans Kuku Officially and Safety Concerns

• In the recent events regarding TnC Kuku and Skem of complexity getting banned from Chongqing Major
• several shoutcasters announced that they are boycotting the tournament in China
• This is because they feel that Kuku was unfairly banned
• and that the main reason was the Chinese government's involvement regarding the matter
• To those who don't know TnC’s Kuku and Complexity gamings Skem are being sanctioned because of the racism slurs they have used against chinese players
• which have resulted in an outrage of the Chinese Dota community
• Also, something to note is that Kuku and TnC have already apologized multiple times however to no avail
• actually TnC even said they will donate 50% of Kuku’s and the Managers earnings on an anti racism organization
• kaso wala matigas talaga
• and to make matters worse the Chinese government asked the organizers to ban this players
• which now have resulted on several shoutcasters boycotting the event
• it was first announced by “GranDGranT” that he will refuse to cast if Kuku wasn't allowed, adding the we all make mistakes
• David “Godz” will also refuse if the ban is coming from the government and not valve
• AdmiralBulldog also said that he will not be going to any valve event in china unless the ban is lifted or dpc is removed
• this are just some of the shoutcasters boycotting the event
• But wait there's more
• because the organizers of chongqing major issued a statement in the previous day saying,
• that they could not guarantee the safety of Carlo “Kuku” Palad should he attend the tournament despite being previously banned
• then the Chongqing Major organizers also said that Kuku might not even be able to enter China or that the city government might cancel the tournament should he attend
• Basically, they are not just banning the player they are also restricting him to attend to support his team
• the statement also sounds like a threat and taunting the community even more
• So in attempt to resolve this issue
• Valve told TNC to compete in Chongqing Major with stand-in instead of Kuku
• the on a recent update
• Valve finally responded and released an statement where they officially banned TNC Predator’s Carlo “Kuku” Palad from attending the tournament
• Valve is also issuing a 20% a Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) point penalty
• currently is unknown if the ban will extend in the Ti9 but if we get more politics involved China will definitely play its cards
