Description
The most infamous "VAC crowd" moment in the Dota 2 Manila Major 2016. This clip features the Filipino team Mineski against the Swedish team Alliance.
"VAC" is short for the Valve Anti-Cheat system and is used by the community to refer to moments in a Valve video game that could be considered cheating. "VAC crowd" refers to a biased crowd of any live tournament (of a Valve video game) that actively helps its favored team by providing crucial auditory hints through crowd noise. Both terms are used in the Twitch streaming platform. The effectiveness of a VAC crowd depends on how good the soundproofing is for the tournament.
In Dota 2, VAC crowds significantly increase the difficulty for the opposing team to perform successful ganks.
