Pro Dota 2 Player 'DeMoN' Banned For Sexual Harassment

The competitive realm of Dota 2 is indeed very interesting for us to follow its development. Recently, it has been reported that one of the biggest Dota 2 teams in the world, Newbee, has been permanently banned by Valve due to the Matchfixing case. The team that once won The International is no longer able to compete again.

In addition, the five roster from Newbee will also not be able to participate in any matches in the future. Apart from all that, now there is one more pro Dota 2 player who has been banned by Valve. The player from the United States team is named Jimmy “DeMoN” Ho.

Dota 2 Player Named DeMoN Banned For Sexual Harassment

Player Jimmy “DeMoN” Ho has been banned from participating in the DPC due to misconduct at previous Dota 2 tournaments. Team Aristotle can continue to compete in the NA DPC league and will be permitted to register a replacement player.

Through the NA DPC League Twitter account, it was announced that the man named Jimmy had been banned from participating in the Dota2 Pro Circuit tournament due to sexual harassment issues in the previous Dota 2 tournament. In addition, the DPC League also said that Jimmy’s team can still compete.

The team named Aristotle can still compete for now or in the future if there is a replacement for DeMoN itself. For those of you who don’t know, this sexual harassment allegation itself comes from Eleine Sun, a former Twitch staff. He admitted that Jimmy had deliberately forced himself into a closed room.

Demonstration Denies All Sexual Harassment Allegations

Absolutely ridiculous that allegations from anonymous people can ruin your whole reputation and career. I denied ALL of the accusations. A horrible statement does NOT make anyone guilty but that’s what it feels like it’s constantly leading back to. https://t.co/baj0sdvmPG

Furthermore, Eleine admitted that the pro player forced her to kiss Jimmy. On the other hand, Jimmy also dismissed the words of Eleine as a victim. He said that it was completely unreasonable for him to do such a thing. Jimmy himself admitted that he would take steps to clear his name.

He said it was very strange to hear words from people he didn’t even know and destroy someone’s reputation and career. So far, there is no new news regarding this case. What is your opinion about this? Give your feedback.
