"I Cants Takes It Any Mores!!"

It's been a heartbreaking 2 weeks full of drama and a roller coaster ride.
Previously i was very sad to read that Team DK would be disbanding after Ti4.
Then happy that Mushi was back in Malaysia and reforming with his old Orange teammates.
Then drama because of the 'PH 322' scandal that happened at the StarLadder Season 10 Dota2 tournament.  http://bit.ly/1saxJB8
Then MORE drama as Arrow Gaming team was implicated in their own match fixing scandal.

I first found out about this on Gosugamers when they report  on the 'PH 322' scandal and there was info stating another team was involved as well.

I was waiting for more updates and news when the organizers and sponsors decided to remove Arrow Gaming from the competition and lifetime ban ddz and Lance from Synergy League. Pain! So cruel! And at that time i was thinking how can so harsh?

As i was searching for more updates and new gossip about the scandal, my friend post on FB about an announcement by ddz that it was all a mistake and they did nothing wrong.
http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2jppl4/i_am_ddz_i_am_not_322/

They explained their situation and even show screenshots of convo to proof that nothing was illegal. The main thing they explain was the lost because of bag lagging at the cc and made bad picks. As for their gf's betting, they have no control over that and they were not involved.

I was breathing a sigh of relief at this but really thought the screenshots look too fishy. Even the commentors from the reddit post didn't belief and some show proof of how it can be faked.

But then their manager Jaren Gan (https://www.facebook.com/gjaren post on the wall that the posting on reddit wasn't officially from them.

Arrow Gaming at this point issues a proper official statement that they aware and investigating the scandal

Next thing you know! Arrow Gaming fires ddz and Lance and issues a statement from their manager Jaren Gan

Drama! So Saddd!!

At this point there were more things happening behind the scenes as suddenly the organizers issued an official statement lifetime banning THE WHOLE ARROW GAMING TEAM from competing in their competition.

The fallout from this continues as now Arrow Gaming has fired the entire team and also their manager as well.

And while all this was happening, it really over shadowed the triumph of Mushi's Team Malaysia when they got their first title by winning the Thailand DotA2 Championship. That should have been the main story focus since it's Mushi combining with his old team mates and planning their road back to glory for Malaysia. But now everyone is just talking about our own 'MY 322'.  /facepalm

Mushi's team manager actually posted a long summary of the scandal with more screenshots of what happened behind the scenes and exposed a few things about Arrow Gamings ex-manager. If you're looking for more juicy gossip then head over to this reddit thread here http://bit.ly/1zliI9r

Me? I'm going to lie down and console myself with a macha-shake and a nap afterwards. Meow!

A good friend of mine just got this new rig after his old one died. Looks great right? Asked him why he chose this over the other recommendations from his friends, he said this GE60 Apache Pro 2PE from MSI had the best specs for his budget. I think the MSi Kinzu Series mouse that came with the laptop is even cuter! Friend thinks so too, and mentioned it was even too cute to be used. Haha.
