	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 too many to list exhaustively, some examples of hacks often identified by Bradley are as follows:		By far, the most common reason Bradley cites for a lost game of Dota 2 is the presence of hackers/cheaters.

	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 2,000 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.

	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}}		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.
