DOTA Version 6.48b Tournament

Teams that participated:
1) SOUTH
2) MINESKI
3) PAPI
4) PROJECT D
5) RIT BAN
6) ZZZ
7) PACIFIC
8 ) PAPI JR

Here are the results of the tournament that was held last October 14, Sunday.

*Ladder Elimination Format:
- Teams will pick a number (from 1-8). If for example a team picked number 1, then that team will fight whoever picks number 2 (and then 3 versus 4, 5 versus 6, and so on…).

*Since only 8 teams joined the tournament, I made it a double elimination tournament. Once your team loses, your team will autotically go to the losers bracket. If you lose again, your automatically eliminated.

*My rules in general:
- Complete no feeding rule
- No borrowing of any items
- No ally control (even chicken)
- No buying of items from other teammate’s gold
- You can use your flask (healing pots) only to heal your teammates but you cannot pass it.
- No banned items
- Backdoor is allowed in the tournament.

*All heroes are usable in this tournament.

*There won’t be any item restrictions as of this writing.

*TAKE NOTE*I will use the rules of the extended league mode (-xl) but with some modifications:
- The team who wins the coin toss will choose only one of the following:
(1) Choose either Sentinel or Scourge side of the map to start
(2) be the team that chooses the first hero
- If you choose to pick hero first then your team will be the first to ban one hero in any side. Then you opponent will ban another hero. This will go on until both teams have ban a total of 3 heroes each (Total of 6 heroes). In that particular match, neither team can pick the ban heroes.
- Teams who choose to pick hero first will pick one hero then the opposing team will pick 2 heroes ( Team A-B-B-A-A-B-B-A-A-B ).
- All matches will be in -ap mode. All the banning and drafting of heroes will be done before the start of the match.

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.

On the Sentinel side:

So after exactly three hundred and fifty four days, I finally made my second post on the DS blog! Hurray!

Yesterday was filled with funny/weird dota matches. Kim(SilentYetDeadly/Drifterz) and I played with my high school batch mate Jude Calabio, but naturally our opponents feared our combined LSGH powarz and left than 30 mins into the game. Kim got disconnected after the first game so Jude and I bullied a couple noobs(magnataur and bradwarden) using Lich and a Battle Techies: LINK.

After eating fried chicken for dinner, my long-time friend and high school batchmate Ren Siccion invited me to play Dota with his brother Ral, and cousins Ric and Richard at GG shop to shop room 5. The first game was fun, but they left one by one when we breached their middle lane. Oh well.
