Dota 2 Cheaters And Smurfs Receive Gift-Wrapped Permanent Bans For Christmas
King Kringle is handing out presents to naughty Dota 2 players in the form of Highly Toxic Lumps of Coal. Trust me, this is one gift that you don’t want to receive, as it’s being handed out to players who’ve been caught cheating or using smurf s. It can either serve as a warning, or in some cases, a notice of a permanent ban.
Here's a hilarious Twitch streamer getting perma banned on Stream:

“King Kringle knows,” warns Valve. “He’s checked your behavior score twice, and he’s coming with his ban hammer to pulverize the smurf s of all the naughty boys and girls, before handing out penalties to their associated main s.”
With the holidays coming up, it’s good to know that we can all look forward to a less toxic experience in Dota 2 for our holiday marathon gaming sessions. For those who received the ominous lump of coals, Valve says Merry Christmas!
Meanwhile, the free-to-play MOBA’s Frostivus 2023 winter event is now live, offering actual holiday-themed gifts, including festive new cosmetics and new Dota Plus sets until January 11.
