Hello.
As many of you know, I’m a Ukrainian ex-pro Dota 2 player, and nowadays I serve in the Ukrainian military, helping to defend my country from the Russian invasion. In the limited free time I have, I still stream and play Dota 2 — the game I love to this day.

A year ago, I spoke out against Games of the Future, a tournament fully backed and used by the Russian government for propaganda purposes. If you saw the opening ceremony with Putin, you know exactly what I mean.

I have huge respect as a Dota 2 player for many people on that screen who are now planning to attend the event in Abu Dhabi this year. But let’s be honest — this is the same tournament, with the same goals, run by the same people. The only thing that changed is the location.

So my question to Topson, Ceb, Notail, Loda, AdmiralBulldog and others is:
Is it really worth taking that bloody money and becoming part of Russian propaganda by attending this event?

I sincerely hope you reconsider your decision.
Thank …

I think we’re all aware that Metro is generally a pretty negative influence for Deadlock. He’s been banned from Twitch and Overwatch before for being toxic and insulting, and I’d really like to curb the flow of that into Deadlock. Just a few pointers -

- Being recently suspended from Twitch - According to a reported ban in October 2025, the stated reason was “promoting, encouraging, or facilitation of the discrimination or denigration of a group of people based on their protected characteristics.”

- There are widespread community claims of repeated toxicity, griefing, and bad behavior on stream (one example here). This is one of several posts on the this subreddit describe him yelling at teammates, abusing or insulting them, and even intentionally “feeding” or griefing matches while live-streaming

- The negative behavior allegations go beyond a single game — many stem from his prior days in Overwatch. Some community members mention that Metro’s “overwatch toxicity” …

thanks to everyone for the feedback of the previous post!

i repainted the whole model to fit the art style a bit better using Abrams finished models as a reference point on top of the suggestions people gave.

i hope you all like it!
