Guide videos are something we periodically think about, it just involves a lot of work. Slowly but surely...


Those were on my project list, but I was waiting until I got better at creating motion graphics to start.
I think having something with nice motion graphics and good editing tremendously increases the value of that video.
My projects are:
- Intro to Dota 2 (w/ dota history, basics, short rundown of heroes, basically like a big ass course on dota)
- Tutorial for Every Hero (self explanatory)
- Dota 2 Weekly News (5~10 minute video with pro scene results and standings from tournaments and leagues, game highlights, rankings and pro team roster changes)
I have the ideas lined down, all I need to do is get better at motion graphics, I want to get to the point where things look almost professional at least and start from there.


I like it! Let us know if there is any way that we can help in this.

Cheers mate! I played a whole bunch of co-op bot games when I first started learning, and that plus playing with friendly people can really help out MM anxiety. The best thing to do is hang out on our TS3 server (voice.dotanoobs.com).

Howdy! I'll try to remember to add you, but by far the best way to get involved is to join the TS3 server (voice.dotanoobs.com), jump in a busy channel and introduce yourself. See you around!

Howdy and welcome. As Skyop mentioned, most of the action is spontaneous and on our TS3 server. If you are looking for more organized play, we are about half-way through our inaugural round robin league so stick around for the next season. Cheers!

There have been quite a few questions about what we were doing with the League replays, and we finally have an answer. Behold the super duper alpha and ugly League website. The idea behind this is to have a consolidated place for league stats that is community-driven. Community-driven is admin lingo for "you guys do all the work", and if you are a member of the league that means you can already sign in through steam, add a series that you just played, upload the matches through the website and the replays will be parsed on the server (that last bit doesn't work quite yet, but should soon).

Feel free to post comments and suggestions here, particularly about what sort of stats you would like to see. As we get near the start of next season, everything from team formation to scheduling will be handled through the website, but those are on the back burner for now. Cheers!

EDIT: Apparently the steam login is currently broken, looking into it. If you are really interested in testing the login features, you can check out the development site, but this is frequently down.

Do you intend on giving it more of a graphics/html/css update? If so I might be able to help out


Definitely, but keep-it-simple-stupid is the motto at when getting things running. I'll let binary chat with you about the makeover since that isn't my area of expertise. Cheers!

Howdy there! It wasn't all that long ago that I was in a similar situation, and having a good group of people to play with can really help make the transition into MM pleasant. Skyop will probably pop in a bit later, he has been gathering a bunch of the newer guys to get experienced together since mixing skill levels in MMing parties can lead to... "interesting" results. Hop on our TS3 server and introduce yourself there, too. Cheers!

Is it possible to add offline streams below online ones? That way something always shows up, even if it is greyed out.

I won't play, but I watched the MLG finals. I saw stuff, and... yeah.
