Emote rejected: No transparent background

Hello,

I recently uploaded a BTTV gif (winATI) and it got rejected because of a non-transparent background.
I feel that the emote needs the background because it’s not only the player in focus who is important, but also the player in the back and the environment etc (this was at “The International 3”, which is a Dota 2 Tournament) - the booth the players are in is important imo.

Unfortunately all uploaded emotes must conform to the rules set forth on the upload page. Backgrounds on gif emotes do not look good in chat, so we require them to be removed.
