I would be willing to help on the weekends as well.

What are people thinking for an MMR cut off? Do people need to be a member of the site for a specific period of time? I don't think taking all comers is a good idea.

You guys can't do half-assed attempts like the other 900 tries. All that will lead is to more failure and more cynicism. You'll have 1 weekend of games and everything will turn to shit. If this is an avenue TL thinks could lead to successful community growth, it needs to be done properly by people who actually run this site (whoever that is these days).

I think the community can run it fine, but you are right that the rules and so on should come from the Admins and higher staff. If people are serious about it, it should also be promoted on the site, or we will have one weekend of games.

Edit: Well I think that the cut off should be somewhere. Maybe "is able to play ranked games" or something. Taking all comers is a good way to get a lot of numbers, but not great for quality or peoples enjoyment.

Pretty sure there are still teamspeak recordings of the last time the community tried to run it, where you rage quit a match and argued with kollin for an hour.

epic league.

This needs to be done 'professionally' by people with actual power to promote, organize and run. Of course support can be supplemented by volunteers etc., but this has to be a legit LD project, not amateur hour.

Any old CS playing Swede/Scandinavian here who used to hang on fragbite (basically the TL of CS in Scandinavia)?

The official cups they used to run were really fun and the reward for winning was just like a custom cup winning title on your account so nothing big. But amazingly fun and then if you won a cup you would be a baller on the forums forever.

as i said, imo it needs to be run by the highest ppl on tl
atleast they have to be in on it
it should be run like TLopens in sc2
preferably in smart timeframes, iirc tlopens were ran to test community maps etc. maybe in dota u can run a TLopen when theres a new patch or somethign else
as prize there could be stuff like LD gold+a tshirt+an icon in ur sig or whatever
should be advertised as a casual tournament (unlike gigabyte or eizo cups) maybe get some casters like heflatv to cover ro8+

thats how i imagine that working but who knows

ya exactly

this is how things worked in the cs 1.6 scene basically and it was a working formula every weekend for years.

So I don't see how it would be any different in Dota tbh.

On a serious note I've been MIA for a couple of months now more or less because I was finishing my PhD thesis but now I'm free from that so I could probably help out with some sort of DOTA2 project.

TL should have an automated tournament script, like the old battlenet had.
Basically what dota-league was back in the days.

So you guys want to make an inhouse league with no skill restrictions, where strangers go into teams and just play against other 5 strangers of various skill levels. And nobody is going to be flaming and everybody is going to have fun. And it's going to be run, moderated and promoted by a handful of GD volunteers.

Well shit, I dunno about you guys, but I see exactly zero reasons why any of that should not work.
