Hows it going? My names Mike I'v played dota 1 for over 8 years and currently have dota 2 and play and stream regularly. I'v done competitive dota leagues I have even been sponsored by STFU Gaming (now Hausen Esports) and played against some of the top NA dota teams over the years. I recently ran into a fellow Doob member and he was impressed with my stream and the message behind what I'm trying to do. I'v been in the dota scene for a long time its VERY hostile towards new players and thats something I'm trying to avoid here in dota 2.

My goal: To help bridge the gap of newer dota players whether your coming from Dota 1, LoL, or HoN I want to help in anyway I can to make the transition smooth and without the rage and flame that many other dota players would show.

I'm open to coach, mentor, anything that can help players learn the game that I enjoy playing so much.

Hoping this post will get me in contact with the people running the doobs community because I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and helping with whatever I can.

If you haven't already you should check out this post: http://board.dotanoobs.com/thread.php?id=84

It sort of outlines what we think the community should be and what it should provide, and I think its in line with your goals .

Hey Mike welcome to DotaNoobs! It sounds like we're on the same page and I'd love to get us working together and help the Dota2 community as much as we can. You should hop into our Mumble if you haven't already.

Be sure to check out our "Dota University" project, maybe you'd be interested in helping us there as we progress further with that plan. I'm happy there are people like you who are extremely experienced in the game that would like to help out.

Besides a handful of DotA LAN nights Dota2 is my first real experience playing the game and I know I've got a LOT to learn haha.
