INFAMOUS DOTA 2 STREAMER: Mason, one of the most debatable streamers in Dota 2, has been released from Smurf jail. He hasn’t been streaming for almost half a year.
At this point, Mason continues hosting his weekly Friday night streams and enters a matchmaking lobby on June 30. Glancing at the Immortal Draft screen with other finalists, he realizes his sentence has been served at last. There is no mention of how many games he had to stream after another, once again receiving the permaban for the previous account.
However, the former Evil Geniuses player has been one of the most polarizing personalities among the generally rather uninteresting pool of Dota 2 streamers. Before this, he was in the crosshairs for several controversies, such as being banned by Twitch several times before Valve administered him a Coal-shaped permaban for using a boosting service in December last year.
This became the beginning of a new account for Mason – but, to the surprise of no one, the guy was instantly considered a Smurf to get placed into the famous Smurf pool. If you are new to it, that is one of the matchmaking systems where people will be matched against other smurfs since skill-level new players or serious players usually create multiple accounts, as before with the 2023 Frostivus ban wave.
What has been said is that the Dota 2 community seems quite sated by the whole process. “He had to go down and take his punishment, and what a punishment it was. He deserved to end up in the main pool,” a player said in a Reddit post on May 31.
“The Dota community is a weird place, but thank you for this amazing journey on how the lowest of the low live,” another Mason stream enjoyer summarized the new angles we got shown as a community in the past six months of his smurf pool streams. “[We] got to watch buyers, win traders, and boosters loudly argue in Russian as they fought each other in subsequent rounds for pure perversity.”
