Had a pretty good game as Gyrocopter. Managed to hold them off pretty well despite the fact it was 2vs5 for the end of the game. You can see why you need a good team.

Yeah, I'm starting to see more mid-game quits, which is a bit poor as being down one man is a real team cripple (on the assumption that they weren't just feeding prior to quitting).

Unfortunately, we've been seeing these in WEE too. People throwing a wobbly because they're losing and quitting (therefore making them true losers) seems to be fairly common.

I blame overly competitive assholes. If the game isn't fun if you aren't winning, then either the game isn't fun and needs a redesign, or you need to take a long look in the mirror at yourself and check your priorities.

It's that precise problem which is why certain games will always be crap online - Fifa 12, for instance. In most games I've ever tried playing online, if i've gone 2 goals ahead, my opponent quits. Not fun at all.

Had a fantastic game as Storm Spirit there. Up against some twat playing Windrunner doing the whole "Takes 4 of you to kill me?". I'll tell y'all motherfuckers something it's damn satisfying to get her by herself, electrical bolt in, stun her and kick the fuck out of her. Nice old 15:2 KD too!

I'm not working all evening again this evening. Really. So I'll be around for most of the evening for Dota. I'll shout for people when I'm kicking off, which'll probably be around 20:00/30.

Hey all,

If you pick up any international chests and you don't want to open them yourselves could I please take them off your hands, again only if you don't want them that is. They will expire on 2nd September.

Thanks. :D

I have just created

http://www.reddit.com/r/UKDota

I am desperately trying to push the UK Dota scene. I have briefly spoken to Kharne at Multiplay and hopefully there'll be a tourney at the next iSeries.

So please head over and join in the conversation, if you have any contacts you feel may be useful please let them know that this is happening.
It has got quite a lot of interest already.

There is also a steam group:

Thanks guys.

There is an event tonight which is basically form a team go into pubs.

It's had a lot of activity over the last day, we even have a joinDota member as an officer in the steam group.

Don't worry about skill level etc, there will be high level players about but there are still a ton of noobs looking for teams etc.

Thanks again guys hopefully this will become something awesome!

Anyone got a spare beta key they could give to me so that I in turn can give it to a mate I play with?

The only way you can get one easily is to trade for them. The going price is about 2-3 keys. Some people try for more but the release is imminent so you should be able to get one for 2 keys.

I got a beta key last week, and although the game was a beta, was pretty disappointed to not be able to resize it to fit my screen, or at least look up what the controls might be.

Adding in the fact that I've just sold my soul to the BBtactics CCX means I probably won't bother with this.

Latest Issue of PCGamer is supposedly giving away Dota2 keys as part of the magazine FYI.
