It is with great pleasure that we announce a very special tournament, this is for the guys who day after day help you guys, answer your supports, keep you up-to-date with the latest news.. You guess right, this is a tournament for the DotA crews out there.
This tournament going to be a 5on5 tournament, played with the latest stable map, we decided to add a little twist to it, seeing it is the handsome staff members we are talking about, therefor we will not do the 'usual' -apxl mode, but we will be using -rd for this tournament.
How come? Well it is very simple, we did not create this tournament for the crews to win prizes, win by any means necessairy. We created this tournament for the crews to gather, play togther, learn each other a bit more, share ideas and visions on how to create the best DotA site and so on. Because the tournament is to have fun, we also tried to make the ruleset, as well as anything else, as simple as possible, therefor you will not have to read a wall of text to compeat, but simply the most important rules, minimized to max.
We do have some other rules, that you do not see in other tournaments, we do not allow the usage of any pro players. How do you define a pro player? Well, we decided that a pro player is someone who has been or is playing in a DotA team who won a major tournament which included other big names. So if a former pro player decided to drop out of DotA as professional and start his/her crew career, then they are not allowed to play. We are having this rule since we will try and make it as even as possible for everyone, not every DotA site have the pleasure of a pro player in their staff, ergo it would be a total walkover if a pro player participated in this tournament and that is not the thought behind it.
We also have a rule that every team that signs up for this tournament has to support with one person to our crew, this does not mean you have to do actual tournament work as posting updates, news, etc. but you do have to be avalible in case of dispute regarding the rules, if two teams have issues in a match and can not decide it themselves, the admin group (without the two admins the issue concern) will then talk and decide what to do.
Besides that rule, it is basicly the same as most places, backdoor is not allowed in any cases neither is attacking the outer towers when they are denyable, you need creepsupport at any time to destroy a building, if they creeps die, you are allowed to stay. These are propably the most important rules and we will of course be posting the rest as soon as possible.
Signup happens in this topic.
For further contact, you can find the crew and the players at IRC (Quakenet), #dota-vip.dcs
The tournament will start the 1st september.
* Update I *
Due to some confusion about whom are allowed to participate and whom is not, we are now adding 3 other things a team has to live up to.
- No clans (just because you work on a clan site, e.g. MYM doesn't mean you are in the clan - nor does this count for those who are in the same b.net clan, like DCE, DotA-VIP, etc)
- No clan sites (unless they offer other stuff than news on how the clan is doing in various games)
* Update II*
Rules are now up and can be found here .
* Update III *
Tournament start date added.
* Update VI *
A new rule has been added, regarding vetoes for each team to eliminate one or two players of the opponent team, read more in the rules on the forum.
