Hello, I am a streamer on Facebook with more than 160 thousand Dota 2 followers in South America. And one of the main game information sites in this region. Earlier today I received a complaint from PGL for rebroadcasting their official broadcast feed (I know it's wrong, but what are we supposed to do?). I was hoping to use that for just one game, hoping the next game would fix it and I'd be able to see it from Dota. My intention is to follow the rules of Valve and the TO's, but Dota TV is a disappointment.
Valve does not fix the bug with Dota TV since the first day of the Major, despite being reported days ago:
Thousands of followers not only of my page, but of several others want to watch the Major games with their favorite streamer or because perhaps the official broadcasts simply do not meet the expectations of some (as I read in comments on Reddit).
Thank you Valve for the favoritism towards PGL and other TO's, forcing thousands of viewers to watch the official broadcasts.
Where is the free choice?
It's not possible that it's already 5 days that the game is still a mess. A shame really for the casters and all that great community.
I turned on the broadcast today in high spirits to watch the games from Dota TV, and I had to tell everyone that I'm so sorry, but you won't be able to watch the PSG.LGD game with me, Dota is still a mess.
Edit: Supposedly there is a broadcast feed for several of the casters in the Twitch community that provides an alternative to Dota TV, but there is no public information on this, and when I contacted the person who spoke to me about following the rules, he told me that it does not existed.
