Among the teams and players banned were those of top teams Flow, Mineski, Papi, and Ninja.

Even before I knew the names of the prominent players and teams in Metro Manila, I already heard the name Roro. Roro is often mentioned and praised by local gamers here in Davao City. Who, you might ask, is Roro? That’s one of the questions that have been bugging my mind. Not to mention, the many requests I get for a feature on the guy. So without further ado, let me introduce to you Ronald Robinson “Roro” Robins, Mineski Team Leader. Now known as “mski.scofield,” 21-year old Roro (born May 25, 1986) is already the Vice President for Operations at the company he is working for. He graduated from the De La Salle University on 2006.

Roro, whose current favorite hero is Rhasta, got interested in DotA-Allstars due to the prodding of his older brother. He shares his first DotA experience…

…it was feb 2005 when i started playing, i cant forget the day that it was a Valentines Day, we had a triple date: Khen, Roro and Richmond at SM Megamall. The funny thing about it is while we were having a date the 3 of us were just reading the print out i brought containing how to make items…

Roro continued playing the game because it was fun. Eventually, he also enjoyed the competitive nature of the game. Right now, his work limits his practices to days leading to tournaments. If there are no tournaments ahead, he doesn’t practice. He just cooks up scenarios in his head before he sleeps.

During my short stay in Manila, I was able to score an eyeball with my DS mods last Friday, September 7, 2007 at the Sicilian Express in Ortigas.

When my friends first told me about these videos, I thought maybe it was not true. So I watched it myself. Raynee088 offers a very good instructional on how Rigwarl the Bristleback can level-up, gain experience and gold by staying in the neutral creeps.
