Well, shouldn't matter. It still fucking sucks for Matu, he could end up in a position like Universe where making it to a major/TI is highly questionable. I understand why there is no outcry, Liquid is an established organisation that will pay the salary and probably a share of the major winnings. It's not another NA stack that throws people out on the street. And this is the last major before TI, you want to play as much as possible with your new player. But Valve still has to make a fair ruling for this and IMO Liquid (and EHOME or whoever changed roster last week) deserve the same amount of shit as EE did.

It is almost certainly a kick.

It is just done with contracts and good packages this time. Also no griefing cause contracts

If this was taking a break it would be same to Maybe or Ana's case but this is not(plenty of pros took breaks). If you have a winning chance with a TI winning roster you wouldn't just self-evict yourself.

All team removals has always been involved with the team and rarely because of oneself or management. Matumbaman doesn't seem the type who would get removed because of bad behavior or something moronic.

Or maybe this is honestly just me looking at things in a negative way. I view every team on the same light as every other team.

i mean i will sincerely say since it's not released yet nor would it be truly reflected when published but when interviewing matu i felt that he was extremely miserable and exhausted, and knowing how close the team are, and considering what he himself had said, i maintain my conviction that i doubt it was a unilateral decision

and you're right, he wouldn't be removed for something like that, frankly i dont think he would be forcibly removed at all aka kicked or necessarily coaxed into a 30/70 (leave/kicked) situation

Good old Valve building off the work of modders and making it their own game.

Funnily enough the LoL people also made their own dota auto chess, but somehow I'm more comfortable with that than I am with Valve making their own.

Unless valve actually worked with / included the modders.

Valve flew the modders out, had a long chat, and both agreed to make their own version of the game. Take from that what you will.

Thats actually super interesting to me and I guess my take from it is that valve didnt offer them enough money? haha

Not sure though. Ill probably play on mobile though and I never played autochess in client. I play a lot of hearthstone on my phone while fishing though and this would be a changeup for sure.

That's decent at least. I half-expected the 'well it says in the modding clause that we own the rights to your shit if we want them, so we decided to just take it.'

No guarantee that they didn't give a shitty offer, but at least they gave an offer.
