I'm happy we get to see more deadlock tournaments, but 1win is not it. Not only have they done some shady copystriking in the past, they're literally a casino and the event is only watchable on their website. They will send a copystrike to your channel if you watch the tournament in-game, even though they have 0 rights to the content in-game as it is owned by Valve, at least AFAIK - I'm not a lawyer. They'll block the MatchID. They force you to watch it on their website. All so they can promote 1win and their gambling. I understand that this is really the only tournament with significant money in Deadlock, but it's just them trying to normalize gambling. You can literally already place bets on Deadlock games on their website. I don't fault the players or even the staff for working on the event, I understand people want to participate in Deadlock tournaments and there are not a lot of options. But I do think we should be careful as a community of normalizing gambling.
