Well that's why we're creating this league! A lost game should still have been an enjoyable time, and hopefully a learning experience. There is no room for trollling/gloating or general bad-manners.

Yeah, my 1055T ran hotter then all the equivalent Intel chips when I was doing research, but with my Noctua cooler I'm slightly overclocked and running @ 19°c

Hey hey cool idea! I wonder if I can stream this on my phone lol.

They did release a second game, Rise of Legends, it was the Age of Mythologies of the series (more magic fantasy stuff) which I'm not opposed too at all I just never tried the game. Maybe we should all find a copy and play a few games haha.

Welcome jerkface! CS 1.6 for the win! All my friends play Source now so that's where I end up usually but 1.6 has that special place in my heart. I think I actually played more LAN 1.5 then anything but meh.

Welcome aboard Jeff! How many LoL games did you play? If it wasn't very many it would be interesting to hear your first impressions of both games. What kinds of games do you enjoy beyond MOBA?

Sounds good thanks for the offer jBrown we're always looking for a helping hand I'll let you know. I'll talk to Alverez today and see if we can decide on something and get an announcement up.

That's the thing, just because someone is better or worse then you or even our average Doobs player doesn't mean they aren't "noob". You can play a game steady for a year and still consider yourself a scrub compared to professional players. The main thing is to try and keep our in-house games somewhat balanced, and try and find a place for everyone who wants to participate.

You leave my Huskar alone A SECOND CHANCE AT SACRIFICE.

On it! ALL THE UPVOTES.

Cool I'm in about the same boat as you, with lots of LoL experience and less than 30 games under my belt in Dota2. I feel like DotA is really more balanced than LoL, I hate the fact that it's so easy to make a big comeback in league because it feels like its not rewarding good early game play.

In DotA experience/farm/early laning phase make a huge impact on your game, and if you struggle significantly there you are going to have a hard time later on. Anyways, I agree that Valve seems to have everything PERFECT. This game has more features then most I've played and it's still in BETA! lol. It's gonna blow up.

Nice idea with the playlist! I'm huddled up in the server closet watching this on my phone hahah.

I watched a few of Purge's videos, highly informative. I'll be making my way through his whole channel in the near future!

I'll do that now. The main-page is going to be re-vamped over the next day or two to make it easier to modify.

Perfect you're totally right. When your playing Dota, you really get a huge sense of worth and accomplishment when you know you're doing things right. It's not just "Oh, I'm the carry and I got a triple kill", but as you play you can really feel like you're making a difference to the game and helping your team to win.

Every time you pull off a good SS ult or your ward gets the carry that double-damage rune that wins the next team fight, it just feels way more rewarding to me.

My biggest problem I have two papers to write this weekend so I best get CRACKIN haha.

Hey Gizmoh we are always looking for people willing to dedicate their time to furthering the league! Why don't you make sure you get into Mumble a little early on Sunday so we can talk before the games start?

Also, IRC is a great place to chat with some of us (albeit we're mostly active at night) if you'd like to discuss these things earlier. Love is Dead has been casting and commentating games for us, so maybe you want to pair up with him?

Cool, let's talk about it soon. The IRC info is:


Love and I are usually both around in the evenings so hopefully we all catch each-other tonight. My Steam name is the same as my username here, so worst case add me on Steam so we can discuss.

Haha hey no worries HEPHEASTUS. I was on a HP laptop that was a few years old and over-heated constantly before I got this job, bought myself a desktop for my birthday!

There is nothing we love more then new members! Are you going to make it out on Sunday to our next batch of in-house games?
