I'm just going to add these three points to a single post. It's simply stuff I've been thinking about.

1. What are the best dota 2 websites? Both when it comes to tournament discussion and community, and also sites with detailed and updated hero guides and such.

2. Does anyone know if there are any dota tournaments similar to zotac or viking cup and such tournaments for sc2, where anyone can just show up with a team, sign up and play a bit. Would people in IE want to play such tournaments?

3. Should we do an in-house league at some point? Similar format to the SC2 tournament, I guess. We'd have hopefully 4 captains and at least 6-7 players per team. Set aside one evening weekly to play the IE league etc. Can do drafts etc too.

Best place I have found for Dota2 guides is this Palmer: http://www.dotafire.com/dota-2/guides

Not sure how great the guides are, but does prove helpful to noobs (like me)

1. playdota.com is still relevant, although some of the guides there might be out of date. reddit/r/dota2 en TL also has a dota 2 section. I think gosugamers is also pretty popular but I never go there.

1. www.gosugamers.net this is what im reading when i need to check upcomming tournaments and streams, basically there is information about every "important" match here.

2. There was some tournaments, but im not sure what was the requirement to join.

3. Im up for some fun games always so we should definately work on this one!

main thing about the weekly cups is that it can be fun. I won one of those cups in sc2, and in another one I went on a pretty good run until I met a legit pro-player and got stomped. It's fun to have a chance to play against awesome people, and also fun to try and pull as deep as you can in such a tourney.

There is also http://www.joindota.com/en/start, so i guess you can sum it all up in one post and make it sticky.

We could try to actually be competitive at DOTA 2 -- like, how we were once top-100 in WoW.

Would be fun! Could do some tourneys, win some money!

If this Overlords will allow it, I have access to the game when you begin and you need a +1, then I would gladly fill in. Practising on HoN in the meantime. :)

Fulskar · March 08, 2012, 05:49:42 PM

Update: Just got a beta key, so will be available if you guys need a +1 anytime you're playing really. Would very much like to have a few games with you guys.

Decent read for the inexperienced ones!

Cool.

Definitely need some more tips and tricks and guides. Just like when we were learning new bosses in WoW :P
