I'm currently at work (oops), so I need to keep this short, but I'm excited about the sit so I wanted to post as quick as I could. My name is Nick, and I'm from Chicago, IL, so in addition to being really cold, I'm constantly confused about whether the US East or West server is best for me (heh). I played DOTA 1 way back in the day for a couple years, but took a break from gaming throughout most of college to focus on studying.

Well, now I'm back, and though I've had DOTA 2 for a couple months, I feel like there's still so much for me to learn. So I came here to hopefully meet up with some nice people, get better at the game, and have a whole lot of fun. My steam id is 'blooom_' though I'm using the name 'bloom' as my screen name, if you want to play with me! I usually play aggressive supports, but can also do mid lane and long lane solo.

So I just wanted to say hi, and that if I can't find a thread about it, expect a conversation about how to set up hotkeys (I want to know some good setups!).

Hey hey, welcome to the community. The best way to get connected is to hop on our TeamSpeak server, join a busy channel and introduce yourself. Cheers!

Will do so tonight! Thanks!

Welcome to the group!

As for hotkeys, I am weird so I use 3 mouse buttons for items, spacebar for boots or force staff, using wasd for map control and 1-6 for spells.

Hey blooom welcome to the Doobs! I'm a left-hander on the mouse so I use Z-X-C and a mouse button for items because I hit that whole row with my thumb.

Hope you find something that works for you!

Buy a Naga mouse from Razer and your hotkey worries will be no more! Welcome to the community! Hope to play with you soon!

Alverez, you need to let Razer know when you plug them or we'll never get that sponsorship.

You guys are not charged with getting us a Razer sponsorship ASAP, my giant mousepad isn't big enough and they need to comp us all new ones!
