BecomeTheGamer was a verified Dota 2 drafting assistant project that received media coverage (e.g., GosuGamers) around 2016. However, the project appears currently inactive, and the submission contains demonstrably false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The score acknowledges the historical development effort but is heavily penalized for current obsolescence and exaggerated input data.
