Stream ban 7/12/2024

== The Ban ==
On 7/11/2024 Bradley Dragon said on stream that he wanted to "Find (a wank demon's) IP and SWAT them."
[[File:Bradban.mp4|thumb|1000px|center]]
This clip was [https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1e0wrtt/dota_streamer_goes_too_far_after_being/ posted to the LivestreamFail subreddit] where it amassed tens of thousands of views and over 300 upvotes on twitch making it his most viewed Dota clip from the day. That night Brad's twitch channel was suspended for 2 weeks. This all happened the same day he was told he was getting evicted. Bradley revealed the reason for his ban in a post in his discord, showing that he was banned for "DDoS threats or admissions"
[[File:Banreason.png|500px|thumb|center|A screenshot of Bradley's ban reason, as posted in his discord]]
Bradley then tagged Twitch in a [https://x.com/BradleyDragon7/status/1811705381887869378 tweet] complaining about the suspension.
[[File:Twitchbantweet.png|thumb|1000px|center|A tweet posted by Bradley the day of the ban]]
Bradley took to his discord to say that "[he's] going to kill [his] self". As of writing (2024/7/23) Bradley has not killed himself.

== Kick Stream ==
Bradley took a few days off from streaming after the ban and said he would stream on Monday on Kick. Bradley then missed his Monday stream and went live on Kick on Tuesday.
[[File:Kickonmonday.png|500px|thumb|center]]
During the first stream, there was a unified effort to unfollow Bradley to put him below the 75 followers required to monetize. While this was successful for several hours, eventually Bradley was able to accumulate 100+ followers due to limiting his chat to followers only.
During his Kick streams, Bradley played predominantly [[Project Gorgon]] since he didn't believe he had any incentive to play DotA. An unknown chatter offered Bradley $45 to play DotA, but rescinded his offer as soon as Bradley started the game, for which he was banned. After this, Bradley played relatively minimal DotA.

__TOC__

==Early Life==

Bradley Dragon grew up in Amish Country in New York, as a young dragon he was born to a Christian family and would attend Church every Sunday. Often, they would go to McDonald's after their church service for a wholesome family American meal.

===Brad's Arm===
Brad's left arm, often referred to as the [[Crab Claw]], is crippled since hatching due to an accident at birth which damaged his [https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/brachial-plexus-injury/symptoms-causes/syc-20350235 Brachial Plexus]. Due to this injury, Bradley has weakness in his left arm, only really being able to move his thumb and middle and index fingers. Bradley also described shooting/burning pains in his arm when he was younger, he attributed this to his [[Abilify]] prescription but it's consistent with Brachial Plexus Injury. For his injury, Bradley was awarded lifetime [[Annuity]], which paid out every month.

===Brad's Family Life===
Bradley never knew his father growing up as he left before his birth. At a young age he moved out of his mothers house and into his grandparents house a short walk away. Often while walking between the two he would fantasise about being chased by dogs to make the journey more exciting
'''[Need information on Bradley's Mother, Bradley's Father (left at a young age), Bradley's step sister and step brother.]'''

Bradley would eventually be placed within a class for students with behavioral issues and assigned a constant wrangler, this is the moment he recalls when [[The Curse]] began to manifest and his life began to change for the worse. A prominent example of the curse manifesting is when Bradley's minder wrote down that bradley threw a pen across the class when it infact rolled off the edge of his desk. Brad felt very isolated during his schooling especially after his permanent assistant was assigned to him.'''[Need Tw.tv clip]''' Brad explains that his lack of confidence stems from an incident in school where some people would "compliment on me" (which he now belives to be in bad faith) and that the confidence coming from this caused him to stand up to a bully throwing snack carrots at people who then broke his nose leaving a permanent bump. Ever since then Brad has vowed to never have any confidence at all and to never stand up for himself in any situation. {{#ev:twitchclip|DrabWildSpaghettiThisIsSparta-5VM0_iHEqmtpe1g_||center|Brad recalls the last time he grew a spine}}

'''[Need information on Bradley's teenaged years.]'''
Bradley attended College for one semester where he took courses on networking before dropping out at the start of his second term he claims this is becuase they didn't give enough time to readjust to college life upon returning from winter break.

{{#ev:twitchclip|KawaiiCuteBeefLitty-3Zm6xVVhgKlw-ts7||center|Bradley recounts a memory from his childhood|frame}}

==Dota 2==

'''[Information needed on the following: Dota 2 Alchemy and subsequent ban, Dota 2 Coaching, Clip where Bradley is being Raged at by coach, Bradley's previous MMR, How he Discovered Dota 2, Bradley playing League of Legends before Dota]'''

===Overview===
Bradley Dragon started playing Dota 2 in 2013, although he staunchly argues that he actually started playing in 2012 '''[Need Tw.tv clip]'''. Over the course of more than 5,000 games of Dota 2, Bradley has fluctuated between low Herald and high Crusader ranks. He attributes his inability to climb out of the low skill bracket to being frequently targeted by hackers, cheaters and smurfs, despite there being no real evidence to support his claim. [[The Curse]] is often cited as being behind this. There has been some evidence of queue sniping in the past (however, not nearly as much as Bradley believes) due to the frequency of [[Wankdemon|Wankdemons and Wankangels]] appearing in his games.

Bradley has openly stated on multiple occasions that losses and deaths are never his fault. Out of more than 3,000 losses, Bradley believes that the loss may be attributed to him in only two (2) of those instances. He does not blame this on his own poor gameplay, but rather on other factors he does not control such as persistent lag.

{{#ev:twitchclip|EagerEasyApeWow-R7vMP7-fefs6JMMJ||center|It is never Bradley's fault|frame}}

===Hackers, Cheaters, Smurfs and Snipers===
<blockquote>
Hi again Brad, just another reminder that there are no infinite mana hacks, cast range hacks, +GPM / XPM hacks, or really any hacks at all like you accuse people of using. You're using "hacks" to deflect away from your own poor gameplay, such as dying 19 times as a midlaner. Focus on your own gameplay and you will improve.
</blockquote>

By far, the most common reason Bradley cites for a lost game of Dota 2 is the presence of hackers/cheaters. They are extremely prevalent in all of Bradley's games, and unluckily for him they are only ever on the enemy team and never his own. Though [[List of Hacks|too many to list exhaustively]], some examples of hacks often identified by Bradley are as follows:
* GPM/XPM Hacks
* Damage reduction/immunity hacks
* Cooldown reduction hacks
* Debuff duration hacks
* Hacks that cause Bradley to miss skillshots or misuse spells/items
* Infinite mana hacks
* Cast range hacks
* Tower/creep aggro hacks

Often times, Bradley will attempt to prove the existence of a hack by meticulously scrubbing through the game replay frame by frame, or by testing every possible variation he can think of in demo mode. To date, not a single instance of legitimate hacking/cheating has been identified.
