Asian Dota Championship III Final Ct.MY vs AEON.SG

underminer — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 18:20:33 +0800

What started with more than 400 participating teams is coming to an end this Christmas Eve as AEON.DotA and Cybertime, the only two participants still in the race, will meet for the grand final of the Asia DotA Championship 2009 at 24 December, 11:59 pm.

The qualifiers and the playoffs separate the wheat from the chaff and from original 400 participants, only two are still in the race for the $1200 that awaits the first ranked team, while the runner-up will only get $800.

This special playtime was decided mainly as a Christmas gift to the local fans as it is 23:59 local time on Christmas Eve. It will be played in the best of Five format and you can expect them to give each other a run for their money. The match will be streamed live on G.A.R.E.N.A. TV as usual, so prepare for a Christmas Eve sweetened with some exciting live DotA action in order to shorten the waiting time to Christmas.

Coming from the Winners Bracket, Cybertime has 1-0 advantage in this best-of-5 Grand Finals.

Give support to Team Malaysia as we head to our first ADC title !

ESTC Winter 2009 Dota Allstars 15-18 Oct

underminer — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:28:16 +0800

E-Sports Thailand Championship 2009 is an international gaming competition held by Future Gamer Co.Ltd. and Gsquare Channel of True Vision Co.Ltd. The objective of the competition is to raise the level of “Gaming” of Thai gamers to the level of “International E-Sport” status by providing an international standard venue for talented gamers to show their skills. The competition will provide an opportunity for the general public to get to know and understand that “Gaming” can become a serious “Sport”. The competition will help instill discipline, planning, teamwork and sportsmanship in the competitors. Apart from having fun, gamers will return to their region to raise the level of Thai gaming culture. The Government and Private sector will come to understand the importance of E-Sport as more than just “playing game”.

For those who remember, Kingsurf won this event 1 year ago with then new recruit "iceiceice" playing a crucial part in their final match win over Indonesia's Xcn.

This time around, the organisers of ESTC has made it a bigger event. Under the motto of “More Than Game,It’s Sport” the organisers successfully invited more powerhouse teams from across their shores to grace the event. Below is the summary of the Malaysian teams and teams with Malaysians in it for everyone to root for.

Listed are the Malaysian teams and the Malaysian players in mixed foreign teams that are participating:

1. Kingsurf : Xiaogui, Yamateh, Sakura, Chuan, Ice

The defending champions head to Thailand once again to defend their title. This time, without iceiceice can they maintain their superb form that won them the title last time around? We shall find out.

2. INC Excello : Wenz, Nicx, Bboy, Zuki, Xiao|ing

The ACG 2009 Silver medalist jets off to Thailand in search for their first international tournament gold medal.

3. Survivor: Miao, Boyz, Ken, Ahdee and "the boss"

4. Mineski.INT : Kenchi, Xtinct, Xigz

5. AeonSport : Papaxiong

6. Cybertime.INT : Mushi, Net, Xiaoxiaofong

With such a huge Malaysian presence in the tournament, its hard to imagine Malaysia will be empty handed at the end of the tournament.

I will try my best to provide live updates as I get the info from my contacts there as per last year. So stay tuned:

Hey folks, this thread is created initially to house the ranking idea I have for the Malaysian Dota Community along with discussions of community members on ways to improve it.

As this thread is created to boost the competitive Dota scene, the thread naturally added a recommended rules section to make it easier for prospective tournament makers can come in and refer to a standardised set of rules for Dota tournaments. This is to ensure that rules enforced in their tournaments achieved the highest standards of organisation while participations will not need to adapt to ever changing rules which will certainly affect the quality of their game play over time.

The latest venture of this project will be certain short articles of commentary of the scene in general. These will be long posts of whatever caught my mind at that point of time on a range of subjects that hopefully will benefit everyone in the community after reading them.

As this project might impact the community I hope to receive feedback to make the system more complete and acceptable.

Note for Malaysia Dota Rankings:

1. This rankings are first proposed by the Head Marshall of SGNDT My.Gaming Lim to formalize the way seedings are done in LAN tourneys.
2. The Badminton Super Series rankings are used to make tabulation of points easier and encourage participation of tournaments.
3. The rankings will begin from SMM 2008 last 16 (for Malaysian teams only).
4. Tournaments that are covered in this ranking system needs to meet certain standards : Full online coverage, Open in nature, Full bracket updates to ensure ALL teams are covered.
5. This ranking will be based on team names for now. Changes of team name and members needs to be communicated by pm to me for now.
6. The updated rankings will be uploaded after that event is completed
