Lasse “Matumbaman” Urpalainen, one of Dota 2’s most respected players and a champion at The International 2017, has offered an unfiltered look at why he stepped away from the scene.
In a recent appearance on Khezu’s podcast, Unspoken, he described the emotional toll of the Dota 2 environment and why its community pushed him further from the spotlight. He expressed, “I don’t like the Dota community, to be honest. It’s just, the toxicity is out of hand. I think it’s not healthy to be subjected to it.”
