I'm new to Dota, so maybe the more experienced people can explain this to me.
I was watching the M5 vs. Darer game 2 from the Gosu League on Purge's stream. It was 11 to 12 kills, gold was ~2k in Darer's favor, xp a bit more BUT it was starting to climb back up. I can't remember all of the heroes that both sides used but aside from seeing an Ursa (M5) and a Bane (Darer) it all seemed fairly normal.
Suddenly, two M5 players drop. Darer asks if they want to pause, M5 says no, keep playing, something about it being "their problem." A third person drops after a couple GG's from the M5 side. But M5 keeps playing, 2 vs 5, including a 4-kill against Darer at the steps of their mid t3 tower (after Darer nabbed both racks there).
My question: was the game so out of favor for M5 that the leaving was justified, or was it a case of a player/couple players ragequitting? If anyone else watched the game, I'd love some more insight :-\
didn't watch it. But i have never seen a rage quit in dota at that level ... everyone is usually fairly well mannered. What you are describing is unusual for a broadcast game imo.
sounds like the game was over due to infighting more than the actual situation. If you can link me up ill watch it tho (but im not really qualified to give you a definitive 'its over' answer - I have seen high level games be fought back from really bad positions but that may be a team composition thing which is beyond me really )

It actually often happens with M5.

What Purge and his co-commentator was saying was that it's been a thing with PGG in the past, but I didn't pay attention to much Dota really up until the past few months so I don't know. If Purge vods his Twitch channel it should be on there, dunno if/when it'll be posted to his Youtube channel, though.
Last time I played pgg in a pub he ragequit. Twice.
And when he's playing real tournament games too, if he/his team starts doing poorly he does tend to just stop caring and does stupid shit, I even recall a game where he ragequit at some point, but ended up coming back after a couple of minutes.

Haha. Nobody hypes him, nobody gives him too much attention, it's not starcraft and he is not Idra.
I was just curious if there was something game-related that I had missed to justify an early gg (it wasn't a fake or bm gg, either, it was a gg then disconnect) in a game that looked fairly even (as compared to the massive swing in the recent game cast by TobiWan, forget the teams, but the xp/gold bounced Dire side 10-15k then went Radiant 10-15k then balanced out before one side won).
As is, I do enjoy M5's games and find them to be often crazy and enjoyable to watch.
