Team Spirit's manager, Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, expressed frustration over the absence of a surrender option in Dota 2. He believes that developers should add this feature to ranked matches.
"When will Dota 2 introduce the surrender option? If I don't want to play this match. I'm okay with losing 30 MMR and just want to type 'GG.' I'm a destructive whiner and that's all." - Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov
Players can only surrender in Dota 2 in two cases. If the match is in a private lobby: then after the "GG" message, a 10-second timer will start, and the match will end. Also, users can prematurely end the match if they are playing in a full party of five people. In this case, all five players must type "GG" in the chat.
Earlier, Korb3n shared ideas on how to improve Streamers Battle. He believes that the tournament would be more entertaining if participants were randomly assigned to teams.
