A few Dota players don’t represent the war crimes their president made. However, I want to believe Russians didn’t participate because of the war, and how even being a part of Russia makes them look bad right now.
Imagine if your leader started a war and all you wanted to do was play video games and live in peace. Individuals don’t represent their country’s views, but a group of people from the same country may.
Those players should join another team if at all possible.
To me, this is why the US is where it is today, and other countries heading the same way.
“This is the way it is, it’s out of my control, and I just want to live my life.”
This is how apathy destroys a nation. Life needs to be uncomfortable for everyone that feels this way so that they participate in voting when they would normally abstain. And in those few wondrous cases, convince them to change their perspective and recognize oppression, be it political or capitalistic. Or for countries that have moved so far as Russia, perhaps revolt.
this is simply not true. This is not Putins war alone, he is backed up by a lot of russian people who actively support his cause, mildly support his politics or don’t care at all (which is basically the same)
Of course there are also people who are afraid to speak up, but they are not the majority in this country. Putins raise to power was also backed up by many russians and they a pretty much doing the same thing that nazi germany was doing before and during WW2…
So please stop saying that this is only putins fault…the hate for the west is very real and very deep in russia’s society

Reinstatement was not about whether they can play or not, it was whether they can participate under the Russian flag.
If you want to “live in peace”, don’t sport the active aggressor’s / terrorist flag.
