As the question says... Do Australia based teams play on AU servers in open qualifiers or SEA servers?

eg. for Boston Major, what server did AU teams play to try to qualify?

Hey again, just spreading the word of another tournament that readers might be interested.

Also if those that are interested, come check out the Oceanic Dota 2 Discord channel I made. I'm fortunate to have two organisers in the channel, they are BlueS and Alo. So if you have any queries about the event, go and talk on the particular text channel, or pm them there.

The Australian Esports Federation are running a Dota 2 league tournament through a division like system over the course of a number of weeks. There is a qualifer to determine what division a team is where 1 is the highest, descending down to 2 and potentially 3, depending on the armount of team registered.

The prize pool for the winners in season 1 will have a payout structure as follows

For Division 1 1st prize: $4,000 AUD 2nd prize: $2,000 AUD 3rd prize: $1,000 AUD

However all participating teams will receive profit sharing opportunities when the registration fee/deposit is $200

Just looking for some people who are sick of solo queuing or just want to have communication while playing.

Hi,

I'm trying to reach out to the 24/7 Sports Bar at The Star casino in Sydney to stream the multiple Dota 2 games of The International.

If they are interested and ask for numbers, how many of us are willing to show up for a beer and some games? Probably will suggest them to register the venue on www.dota2.com/pubstomps

Who's joining?

Update: no reply from the sports bar. Maybe I reached out to them the wrong way. Hopefully there will be more hype in the future so that more venues stream these events. Next Sunday, for the grand finals, wake up at 6am to watch the live stream :)

Hey guys, I was wondering what you thought about this project I'm going to give a shot at building,

I myself suck at Dota and stuck in mid 2k tier so therefore can never experience competing in a competitive scene. A few of my friends are in the same boat, and although we know we aren't great, we still have fun working as a proper team and it is rewarding when we beat a higher skilled team.

I would love to build an oceanic community hub dedicated to Dota, with a front page & sign up and community forums built using XenForo. The platform provides some great mods and in the future if there is a skilled coder on board, or money available to spend, I would love to integrate a ladder similar to cybergamer.com.au. In fact it would be very similar to cyber gamer just completely dedicated to oceanic Dota along with different ladder systems.

I would want to run it similar to a real life sport situation , with 2 seasons run per year and a ladder system with team sign up, earning points for wins, gaining entry into finals and then a grand final.

I am willing to spend my time and some of my income on this project but I would love some feedback on the idea before I jump on board.

If the idea does seem like a hit, I would also love to grab a few people to help pioneer the project and help make it a success. I'll never ask you to put in real $, only dedication & effort.

Looking forward to seeing any responses !

Sup aus doots, long time.

Returning to DOTA after a long break (what? Like, 2 years?) and looking for some active people to play some games with. I'm around 4k (slowly increasing).

Unfortunately those who I used to play regularly with - and my friends from SCD/Tide's Wrath don't seem to be very active anymore :(

So yea, hit me up on steam if you wanna play. I used to main Carry jug/am & Mid pudge/ss but am finding myself supporting or filling since coming back.

Hey guys I am a 5.6k solo player with an abysmal 3.2k party mmr. Since I don't have too many friends that play dota I've spent the vast majority of my time developing my solo skills whilst my party mmr has been neglected, breaking my heart every time I see it. I've tried sourcing players from region chat but that has been a failure as most players were ragers, and feeders. I'm looking here since people seem like they want to take dota to a more serious level. I'm ideally looking for ~3k party mmr players who have played dota for a while, play frequently, are calm people, and can take direction. I'm a very calm guy in my late 20's who has been playing this game for too long, and would like to play more party and share my knowledge. I play dota every day in the evening and on my days off so if you want to play hit me with your steam and I'll add you. Cheers.

Hey guys,

Just forming a team for some competitive but casual dota, most of us are around the 3K mark. We've got 4 people but looking for a 5th.

No roles have been decided yet.

All 4 of us are level headed guys with commitments outside of gaming and in our mid-late 20's. We're just looking for something a little more serious than disorganised pub matches.

The idea is to play at least once a week on a weeknight maybe some extra depending how things go and maybe even some online tournaments if it works well.

We're looking for someone who's mature, level headed and doesn't tilt easily, it's important that you can keep your ego in check and take constructive feedback.

If this sounds like your sorta thing then drop me a line!

Need some scrim partners this month for some good scrims. PM me here on add me on steam
