The different Dota Pro Circuit leagues worldwide are already underway, and Southeast Asia is no exception. Fans are already enjoying their favorite teams, and emotions, disappointments, and many surprises are rising.

It has been an extremely hectic day in the Southeast Asian DPC, as a team belonging to the second division was accused of cheating in a third-party tournament.

While many community members may come up with clarifications or comments to affect a team’s performance or something along those lines, this time, it seems that they are somewhat right. So, let’s see what happened.

Does Team Flow use cheat?

Team Flow comprises four former Summit squad members, but they are playing in the second division of the DPC. In a match played a few hours ago, Team Flow faced SPAWN. After winning the first game, Flow had a tough start in the second game, at least until some miraculous moves happened.

In the 12th minute, SPAWN’s Timbersaw tried to run away from Team Flow’s Batrider. SPAWN’s hero received immediate help from Mirana, who used her ultimate to make him invisible. Considering that Batrider did not have any items to stop opponents in inventory, there is no doubt that Timbersaw’s escape was practically imminent.

However, as shown in the video above, despite not seeing Timbersaw at any time, Batrider followed in his footsteps perfectly. Batrider managed to hit all of his finishing blows and sent Timbersaw straight back to his base.

Then, in the second clip shown, we can also see that Batrider, with his Team behind him, approached the bot lane to catch SPAWN’s, Naga Siren. But, once again, Team Flow worked with the null vision of Naga in the area, and the carry illusionist decided to hide among the trees to avoid a potential gank.

Even after Batrider failed to see Naga with the scanner, the hero immediately got her where she was hiding in one shot, which resulted in an excellent pickup in the SPAWN core.

While the moves looked genuinely unique and ultimately occurred on Steam, a quick glance at the game shocked fans and competitors. Many claimed and asserted that Team Flow was using cheats.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that four of Team Flow’s members have a long history of accusations regarding cheating. During their time with Summit Gaming, they were suspected of doing so.

One user on Reddit said:

“LOL this guy (MamangDaya) also facing a cheater as well in the close regional qualifier. They won that time”
