I'll just quote it agian for those who doesn't read...



Strategies for the contest will be made through the DotaStrategy.com strategy builder.

For those who doesn't know where the DS strategy builder is, on the left side of your browser, there is a "QUICKMENU" tab. Just put your cursor on top of it and a menu will pop out and click on "My Strategies" and you may begin by clicking 'Build New Individual Hero Strategy'.

Or, on the DS site menu bar (on top) click on [Home > My Strategies] and you may begin by clicking 'Build New Individual Hero Strategy'.

As for the Prizes, we will contact the winners of the contest and get some information. The shirt will be sent through mail.

Enjoy guys!

Strats should be created using the strategy builder. Only NEW strats can be entered. If you have a strategy for a hero mentioned above that has not yet been approved, that does not qualify unless you remake it now on or before May 15.

As for prizes, we will *try* our best to send them out to winners in far flung places, but I'm not making any promises about that. But we'll TRY.

So... if you have already made a strategy on a certain hero, you cannot enter with the contest with the same hero, even through you changed many things with your old strategy?
