First please allow us to express our gratitude for this wonderful tournament,
the match is really wonderful, and we really looking forward to the entree in
Key Arena.
However, we also noticed that although Valve has made comprehensive plan and
strict rules to make sure the match could go on smoothly and players wouldn’
t be disturbed during their match, a media named Gamefy maliciously
eavesdropped the drafting discussion of Team DK before their last playoff
match versus Evil Genius through a camera installed in the matching room
without any player’s consent, and posted the video on the internet (to be
precisely, Youku, the largest video sharing website in China).
This is not a hearsay like “DK has been boycott by other Chinese teams”, or
“Chinese plays cheers for DK’s losing”, the Chinese dota community knew
about it in short time and Imbatv followed into the situation and interviewed
with 71, DK’s coach, who was very angry about the leakage. Although Gamefy
deleted the video when DK protest against it, the video can still be googled,
and thousands of dota fans watched the video through internet, and there are
also rumors that the content of the video has been translated into English
and posted on Gosu. DK’s core strategy and their drafting ideas has been
completely exposed in this video, which would put them in a very negative
situation in their following games not only against EG but also against other
teams.
We are wondering since there are strict discipline that only players are
allowed in the gaming room during the match (even coaches are not allowed),
how could Gamefy put a camera in the room? Is Gamefy’s action violate the
rule? If not, does it mean media has the privilege to record any information
of any teams before, during and after their match? If they did violate the
rule, is there any punishment for such behavior (due to the severe
consequence)? It also needs to mention in a video they posted on June the
11th, they also recorded IG’s discussion after their match against NaVi, but
Ferrari_430 noticed it and left the room , so not much IG’s thoughts and
idea has been leaked. We seriously ask Valve to investigate Gamefy’s
behavior and let the dota community know the final results.
Currently (around nine hours after they posted the eavesdropping video),
Gamefy still doesn't give any explanation to their behavior. Since you and
Valve has been considered as “conscience of game industry” among Chinese
dota fans, we believe we could rely on you to make TI4 a fair and pleasant
tournament for the players, the fans and the whole community by getting rid
of the black sheep.
