How the coach counts it
What is “death streak” in Dota 2?
After dying you went back into the same situation and died again: three deaths with less than a minute and a half of life between them, or a death within 30 seconds of respawning.
How does the coach find this mistake?
The coach groups deaths into a streak when less than 90 seconds of life separates them. A death within the first 30 seconds after respawn is flagged separately.
Why does “death streak” cost games?
A death streak is usually tilt or a rush to get even. The enemy is paid for each one, and your team plays four versus five most of that time.
