Hi all,

First of all, thank you for maintaining this community. It's a buoy of benevolence in the vast ocean of vile we all know as 'Single Queue'.

I think I've come to known Dota Noobs through DotaInsight. Either way, I've been playing games with some of you for a little while now and thought it would be time for a formal introduction.

Since beginning of November 2012 I've begun playing Dota 2. I've played Dota 1 in two periods. For a good while between Diablo 2 and WoW when WC3 was new, and for a second time after quitting WoW. Both of them years ago by now. This time around I would like to make a conscious effort to improve my play. I've been listening to podcasts, watching tournament replays and just playing regularly.

I sometimes play with some RL friends, but would love to find a way to really improve on my plays. I'm from Holland and usually play in the evenings CET.

See you in-game,

Martin

I've definitely seen you on TS3 before but unfortunately haven't been able to play any games with you yet! Glad you're enjoying the group!

Martin,

We've got people from all over the globe and while I'm not sure about the time difference if we ever match up I'd be happy to play some matches with you.

Thanks for the welcome, I'll be sure to stick around. Already got stomped in my first inhouse (which seemed moderately stacked).

I blame UnoPolak for the stomp. He's kind of a loose cannon and likes to stack teams in his favor.

Welcome to the Forums! Sometimes in-houses are stacked despite the Balanced Shuffle, I mean it has to work with just those 10 players and if the skill-set varies a lot (9 guys with 500 wins and on guy with 5) it can be difficult/impossible to balance properly.

But don't give up, next time you'll be on the stacked team and have a blast I promise
