Internet Giants' Dota 2 Invitational Returns: A Look at Game Companies' Wacky Team Names

The Dota 2 invitational tournament between major internet and gaming companies is back, and it's not just about gameplay—it's a competition of who has the wackiest team name. The OP pointed out the pun-heavy name of Paper Games, the cryptic 'ymfm' from MICA Team (Sunborn), and expressed confusion over MiHoYo choosing 'nameless' as their team handle.

The community discussion heated up immediately. Some users speculated that 'nameless' is a reference to 'You-Know-Who' (Voldemort from Harry Potter), poking fun at MiHoYo’s tendency to keep things low-key and mysterious. Others noted that compared to their last year's team name, '乆乆', this year’s choice is a sharp turn. Some long-time forum members jokingly noted that this topic had already been covered, using classic 'seen this before' memes.

Meanwhile, spectators are calling for more boldness from other companies like Bilibili, DJI, and Huya, urging them to drop their corporate masks and pick more 'unhinged' names. Paper Games, in particular, drew ire for their clever but controversial naming, leading users to jokingly suggest that all other teams should try their best to 'crush' them in-game. Names like '莉中爆栗' (a pun-heavy, semi-aggressive nickname) had the whole forum laughing.
