I totally called it when I mentioned that you'd be the first one to post on here as soon as I made the thread. lol. You crack me up...
Also, the whole ban system is a joke on every level.
There may very-well be an official one ;-]
that's not to say you can't have some fun and run your own.
I was the first to recommend an official DotA tournament and I was faced with a great deal of sarcasm and negativity. I quote, "There will NEVER be an Official DotA tournament at PAX because there is not a big enough fan base and getting enough teams would be impossible"... I won't advertise the persons name who said that to me (It caused a bit of drama last year and a lot of eye rolling on my part). But if an official tournament did take place I would happily end my thread and sign my team up (we are undefeated). I encourage it! It would give me a grand opportunity to be petty and rub it in his face. Until that time comes...I am keeping this tournament live and I will announce some cool prizes next month!
You're drawn to my eccentric Brawl Code: 4596 9143 4529
I mean, they'll probably patch a couple times before PAX - It's already at 6.51 and this thread was obviously made before that.
3v3 eh?
Maybe I'll find a team and play... OR I could teach my friend and hire a homeless person and teach him too, I guess...
and a BYOC pass...
...and a computer. Hell, just make another friend.
