I'l give it another 3-4 days then we can set up the time to do the tournament 6 is not bad for the 1v1 (I kinda want more) but we still need like 11 people for the 5v5 and you can join the Steam group it should be open for anyone to join you can also hit me or a few other people up to join the in game guild.

[Flinty]

I am in for 1v1 as well as 5v5 games

[lemon10]

Yeah, I am in for both the 1v1 as well as the 5v5.

[GP Trixie]

Count me in for the both the 1v1 and the 5v5 too.

[CognitiveDissonance]

Sorry for being late. I have no interested in 1v1, but I am very interested in 5v5. Count me in.

On a different topic, I discovered item trading over the weekend. Due to random/single picks, I played a lot more Disruptor than usual and got my eye on his Grull mount. One day later, I traded most of my "useless" items away and got something shiny for everything I play. Take THAT carry items, I don't need you!

[Alkhemia]

We just might get to 20 for the 5v5 
I'll make a event in the dota group on monday (it is monday I'm a dummy) to get the people that never look at the thread to get in here.

Hmm we should have the 1v1 first or at least the 1st round to give the teams time to get acquainted.
Anyone want to be the captain for a team?

Big long Paragraph on why Legion Commander will no be added in a while courtesy from cyborgmatt.
 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I know the community has been disappointed and frustrated by the lack of new heroes in the recent months which is why I feel it is best to keep you updated and tell you that Legion Commander is not really at a stage where she is ready for release and will most likely not be here for a little while yet. However in the mean time there is plenty of progress going on with other cool things that will hopefully be seen sometime soon which you guys should enjoy.

I know in the past we have had multi hero releases before but that often came with a large number of bugs with each new addition, those heroes also were not workshop ready and were missing a number of animations, dialogue lines or expression hookups etc. The multi hero updates were also made possible by months worth of prior work with some heroes being spread over a six month or longer period.

The workload required on the more recent batch of heroes has slowly been increasing over time with the addition of a wide range of new animations, the addition of being Workshop ready on release and having the correct breakdown in order to prevent having to remove the hero from the Workshop and halt progress on the community items like we have seen in the past along with just an overall higher quality model and texture work.

Again this is a small snippet of the extra requirements when working on a hero now and in the long run it makes much more sense to take more care when working on these new heroes and to try and prevent any more addition bugs entering the system. This doesn’t mean you won’t be getting new heroes, it just means the speed in that specific area will most likely slow down a little and instead we will see more focus on improving the overall game, fixing bugs and revisiting a number of the older heroes in the game who are long due updates in order to bring them in line with the rest of the hero pool.

It also means we will also get to look forward to some huge new additions such as custom game support and the wide scale of possibilities that will hopefully be doable in that system, those of you who did play Warcraft 3 and experienced their custom maps will have an idea of what I’m talking about.

Maybe make the captains the 4 guys with better winrate or wins in general?

That could work if no one steps up to be a captain I'll do that

[Heron TSG]

I'm willing to be a captain if we need more of those. I've only played ~200 games, but I know not to draft 5 carries and pray it works.

I am so excited for this. I played oodles of Warcraft III, and loved the custom maps in that game so much. Assuming they don't screw it up (and I don't think they will), it has the possibility of being amazing.

Sign me up in for 1v1 and 5v5 if they will be this week/end. Next week I likely wont have stable connection so I shouldnt play, but situation can change!

Also I can be captain for team.

[sebcool]

Any chance of being able to spectate the matches?

I am willing to be captain for a team. I have a really good grasp on setting up teams and lanes, adjusting for players and working with counters.
