DotA @ rAge 2008...

[NeoN]

I reckon it's time to intro a dedicated rAge DotA thread to keep all DotA discussions on topic. :P

...what is the latest version of warcraft ?

The version that will be used for your War3 is v1.22.

Here's a link to the the war3.co.za page on the new version...

I cant wait to play DotA at rAge.
I will have to start practicing.

[NeoN]

@Lucifer - Will be practicing my selecting skills, to get Tiny before you. :P

Since I'm gonna be taking part in the rAge DotA tourney, I've already started practicing - but nothing major... yet. >.<

[kolle_hond]

cK might be making its return to the dota tourney this year, but we are having our doubts because of the way the tourney was handled last year (and the fact that none of us has been practicing :P)

The Lair @ rAge 2008
Written by Fanaticit
Tuesday, 29 July 2008

Yip, this is your sum up of what we are doing at rAge 2008, this should help you in your choice to buy an Open LAN ticket this weekend.


In the Open LAN:

DotA 5
This will be 16 teams playing for number one in South Africa. These teams will be selected by an online qualifier and an offline qualifier.
Online qualifer AGASA www.agasa.co.za
Registration: www.agasa.co.za
Dates: To be confirmed
Price: Free (but you need your team online, and available for a few weekends)

Offlive qualifier Mayhem www.mayhem.co.za
Registration: www.thelair.co.za
Dates: 30th of August
Price: R90 - (R50 entrance into mayhem and R40 to enter the qualifier)

You are able to enter both at first but will only earn entrance for one team. I am sorry that there is only a offline qualifier in gauteng, maybe we can improve this for next year. Note that if you team goes through in the 16 teams at rAge, youropen LAN ticket is paid for.

Prizes:
1st - R5000
2nd - R2500
3rd - R500

So yea think thats about it. Will probably see you guys at Mayhem the 30th NeoN :D

Confirmed members of my clan [DUCoRe]...

[DC]....

Ok, I've been out of professional SA gaming for a while now... but isn't/wasn't there a DC clan already? Think they were called Damage Control or something?

[NeoN]

...but isn't/wasn't there a DC clan already? Think they were called Damage Control or something?

Yeah, but I thought those guys were CS players. Wasn't our intention to "hi-jack" their DC name - didn't find out about Damage Control til only recently (few months ago), and we've been using [DC] since rAge last year. Hope no hard feelings. ^_^

[ShadowOrphan]

DC has been around longer than rAge last year and I do believe because of their success would not appreciate it. But I suppose they could take that matter up themselves if they deem it to be a problem.

[Cyrus]

yeah, but the general community wont have any respect for these dota players...I would suggest you guys change that tag...

[aQuafr3sh]

Major difference between DuoCore and Damage Control....give them a break if that is not too much asked.

[NeoN]

Stop trying to act as like you are such a expert. The only reason you guys did good last year was because of dirty tactics like dq'ing other teams 'because you couldn't find them'. If it wasn't for the fact that 3/5 of our team members can't attend then we would've kicked your ass this year, mark my words.

[Cyrus]

lol. I cant believe Jano (Kolle Hond) is still going on about this.

I went to admins and told them we ready for our next match and they said they havent heard from the other team yet and will let me know. Then I said I will just go get food and come bck. So I went to get some food then got back and the admins told me that the other team was disqualified because they were nowhere to be found for 30min. The admins went to their PCs and no1 was there and they phoned the captain. They said there was no time to wait for them so we didnt play them.

So we played the next match, and in the middle of the match Nod (kolle_hond's team mate) phoned me and said he cant believe we disqualified them for not being available. Then kept tuning me so I hung up because I was in the middle of a clannie. From that day on kolle_hond noob hated me. Shame poor guy. As if I had a say whether they get disqualified or not lol.

And Besides, they were a noob team. Wouldnt even get to semi finals...

PS. We are going this year. Who said 3/5 of our members cant attend? We are all flying up from Cape Town and we are up for any challenge. So see you there.

As for the DC tag, I dont care if they use the tag or not, I jus trying to help them make the right choice because a lot of other people do care.

[kolle_hond]

And Besides, they were a noob team. Wouldnt even get to semi finals...

Oh please, the one admin saw the last match we played and couldn't tell people enough about how we 'raped' the other team. You guys wouldn't have stood a chance.

PS. We are going this year. Who said 3/5 of our members cant attend? We are all flying up from Cape Town and we are up for any challenge. So see you there.

I never said your team, I said MY team, learn to read.

Lol, and after all these years you can't even spell my name correctly. Now STFU Pieter.

[flyingflamingo]

Just a warning but dont get your hopes up for some good dota games. I've been going to RAGE for awhile, and I can tell you the minute you start to own some noobs, they just quit. Since in LAN you can have any name you want, theres no way to really ban, execpt IP ban banlist :D . Though the dota tournys are always good.
