Koma owned up to it after the announcement, admitting he \u201cplayed an official match with another account\u201d after listening \u201cto the persuasions,\u201d and that it was a \u201cmistake.\u201d The 20-year-old carry rounded off his statement by asking for a reduced sentence.\u00a0It didn\u2019t sit well with the community and has become a huge talking point among pros and fans alike. Shopify Rebellion star Andreas \"Cr1t\" Nielsen shared his thoughts on the ban during his stream on Dec. 20. He admitted he was all for it and wants all players like that removed for good. \u201cWhat do I think about the ban on the VP carry player? I think it\u2019s great,\u201d he said. \u201cAccount sharing, smurfs, account buying, all sorts of secondary accounts. Get them the fuck out of Dota. I think it's great. It's my honest opinion.\u201d Cr1t\u2019s anger towards perpetrators seems to run deep. The Danish star went on to say he is \u201cso done\u201d with smurfs, account sharers, and boosters in the scene, even in games that aren\u2019t official. He has less of an issue with pro players (including his teammates) who use smurfs because their MMR makes it almost impossible to find games, but still thinks it\u2019s \u201cstupid\u201d and doesn\u2019t condone it. \u201cThere was a time where you needed to smurf because you literally could not find games, but not anymore,\u201d he explained. \u201cI don't think so, personally. This is a very personal take.\u201d As for account sharers like Koma, though, he implied there\u2019s no excuse.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20215412\/New-Project-59.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762866"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762866"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":762893,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762866\/revisions\/762893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762866"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=762866"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=762866"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=762866"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=762866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
