Stinger found out he’s not the father of his daughter on a tabloid TV show. The plot twist? The mother revealed she had an affair with Pakazs, claiming it happened because of Stinger’s unkind treatment.
The drama surrounding Steven "Stinger" Vargas and Crhistian "Pakazs" Savina, two of the most successful Dota 2 pro players in Peru, is surreal. But the situation is worse than anyone could have expected.
What started as an attempt to recover his girlfriend's love on national TV turned out to be the confirmation that he was not the father of his seven-month-old daughter. His ex-girlfriend, Jonhaly "Venecia" Lopez, revealed this to him with a DNA test. To put the last nail in the coffin, she also said that she had an affair with Pakazs.
Timeline of events leading to the drama
- Andrea, the host of the show, asked Stinger what he wanted. He said he tried to fix things for his daughter's benefit.
- Venecia's counterargument was that she was the victim of multiple unkind treatments by Stinger.
- She also revealed that Stinger had pictures of his ex on his phone. This triggered a major argument, during which he suggested they would be better off as friends with benefits.
- Venecia decided this was not fair and took "revenge" on Stinger by having an affair with Pakazs, another Dota 2 pro.
- After these events, she got pregnant, so they decided to try to make the relationship work one more time.
- Stinger had the feeling he was not the father since he had already a vasectomy surgery.
- Andrea revealed the DNA tests showing Stinger was not the father. He still asked to be the father of the children, but Venecia demanded that he step out since she wants Pakazs to take care of the economic needs of her daughter.

Despite how surreal this may sound, you can watch the Spanish replay of this show on Andrea ATV's YouTube Channel, which replicates on Andina Televisión (ATV) national TV signal.
Dota 2 community opinion about Stinger's infidelity involving Pakazs
The news quickly went viral in the South American Dota 2 community. A huge part of the community sided with Stinger's side, but they still think he should not want to go back with Venecia. However, Stinger's interest in the child's future inspired most of them to support him.
The news was so huge that even Pakazs himself decided to live-react to the show on his Kick channel. At first, he shared light comments to joke about it. But, later on, he was very uncomfortable with the show, and decided to turn off his live stream.
He joined a Discord channel where other pro players like Jean Pierre "Chris Luck" Salazar were joking about the situation. He asked if he would accept her as his daughter, to which Pakaz decided to remain silent.
Most of the Peruvian streamers took the situation as a joke. They were joking about celebrating Pakazs' new daughter. Others said that Stinger is ridiculous for wanting to get back with a woman who cheated on him.
Truth is, the real loser of this story is Venecia's daughter. She's the one who could potentially grow up without a father figure. And now, everyone's waiting for the court's verdict to determine whether the child will stay as Stinger's daughter or be given to Pakazs.
To date, esports.gg is trying to get in contact with Pakazs and Stinger for them to give more context.
