The Dota 2 scene was recently shocked by an announcement by PGL which said that Valve had banned 10 players who were found to be "jockeys" in the DPC Open Qualifiers’ upcoming season. Of the several names, there’s a big name in it.

Surprisingly, this fact was revealed because both PGL and Valve have the same thought, which is to take firm action against players who are caught cheating, showing no favoritism.

Some time ago, the DPC Open Qualifiers were held to find which teams to join the fight in division 2. But 10 players were indicated to have played unfairly, caught red-handed being "jockeys" in the DPC Eastern Europe Open Qualifiers. Of course, they’re banned immediately. Here’s their IG names:

• Paradise’
• Keintseru
• SuperNova
• Illusion
• Lilskrip
• Koma`
• Chambl
• Limitless
• [T]SA
• deihra

They are mostly Russian and Ukrainian players, who have played or are currently playing for the East European DPC team. Famous names like Limitless and Koma` are clearly displayed there.

Yaroslav "Limitless" Parshin is a former player from a successful Western Europe team, Alliance. He joined the organization two seasons ago, but this time he left and was replaced by Gustav “S4” Magnusson.

Alliance never even won a single DPC tournament last season. With the poor results, management finally kicked out all of its players including Nikobaby who decided to become a streamer and also Limitless.

The other one is Kamil "Koma`" Biktimirov, a players who was recently announced to have entered the Virtus Pro squad, the most successful organization in Eastern Europe. Due to the violation, Virtus Pro has posted that they are under further investigation to find out what actually happened.
