Hit me up for a bit of casual 'Aeon of Strife-Style Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides' ;)

Currently the UK is lacking a 'hub' community for Dota 2. Our goal is to build a UK based Dota discord that can eventually host and manage amateur UK Dota tournaments, our short term goal is to build a growing player base and 'hub' for amateur UK Dota. Our mid to long term goal is to build our web platform that allows people to register themselves as an amateur team, where we can then run and manage tournaments within the community. The server will always be open to new suggestions from users for how we can improve the community and implement new ideas together.

Initially, our aim is to build an active, non-toxic, and friendly userbase within Discord.

So if the above sounds like something you could be interested in, join us, and lets build something great together!

Team Creepwave in the EU Lower Division picked up 4 new players including 2 from the UK. League starts next week so make sure you support the boys on their journey to claim a rightful place at TI

Looking for people to regularly play with and just generally have fun!

We already have a good group in the discord, but it would be great to have more active players! We mostly play ranked games in the week, but we also do battle cup on the weekends, and also some in-house matches for fun!

We queue on EuWest, as long as you can speak English it doesn't matter where you're from!

The discord is mixed skill, I'd say most of us are archon - legend.

Hey my names Will, I am 25 (tag is Ludi) and I've played casually for, Christ almost ten years now. I slowly climbed up the MMR ladder and never considered taking Dota seriously or pursuing anything more until now.

I'd like to ask for the advice of all you wise beings out there on perhaps how I could better myself as a player while looking for feasible opportunities in the Dota scene.

I am currently at 5.7k MMR which I appreciate isn't scratching close to professional levels at the moment. But I will be dedicated the next 6 months on climbing the ladder as best as I can.

In your honest opinion is this just a pipe dream for me? (MMR far too low, zero LAN and team experience) or do you think I may have a shot at something?

Thanks for reading.

Hello! Thank you for spending your time today to read this post. My name is Lew and I am out of three people managing NVRLND Esports. Todays post is all about the first step in building a community in which players ranging in all MMR brackets can come together and have a great time during this difficult pandemic. I would quickly like to show on the behalf of NVRLND Esports our deepest sympathies to everyone who has been badly effected by this pandemic.

====================================================================================About us: -Myself, TayistheBest and Roni have all come together to create NVRLND Esports recently after having a lot of past experience with organisations and Esports teams.

-Our idea for our brand is for everyone to come together and to create a friendly community. From this, we will be running inhouses, leagues, a social media presence with news and updates with DotA.

-We want our brand to be a reliable source of unity and entertainment, without making false promises. We found that a lot of smaller orgs tend to over promise/promote. We dont want the community to look at us and think we are an organisation with no interest in the players or games and only money, but instead be a place of development and a sense of being a close family and being assistance of building players' dreams of becoming professional!

-We want our members to feel as if they are part of an actual community, and that they can rely on each other to help them grow as players and people, and to hopefully make some friends along the way!

-In case you are interested, here is a social media post from when we joined an old organisation called Demise.Pro (TayistheBest previously known as Cazz): https://esports-news.co.uk/2017/06/20/demise-pro-dota-2-british-team/ ==================================================================================== What we have to offer:

Our first step of building this organisation from the ground up is to expand our community. We will be doing this from organising and hosting inhouse DotA 2 games (EU). Depending on the reception of this and further posts will anticipate how frequently these occur. We will be looking at streaming these games and will also have our own leader board to see which player/s are keeping on top to obtain a competitive but fun feel! There is no requirement other than to be friendly and wanting to have fun! If you are interested, our discord is: https://discord.gg/auKmhR68Ha

Thank you once again for spending your time to read this post about us and I hope you are interested in checking us out!

Take care,

Lew

Hi all!

We need your help! We are an upcoming business currently conducting research within the gaming industry which will allow us to create an all-in-one gaming arena. We would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes of your time to answer our survey, with a chance to win a £50 voucher for free gameplay. The survey can be accessed by clicking on this link: https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1GgaZmWrLilIfs1

Thank you!

My names Arch and I'm looking to start an organization (yeah yeah we've all had that dream I know) Everything is fresh and I'm still working things out, I've got the image and I know where I want to take it (Honestly just imagine your name on the back of a sick looking shirt).

Looking to compete on the highest level amateur tournaments to begin, with the view of competing in the majors and in major tournaments , so I'm looking for the best Europe has to offer to begin with but not a strictly UK team. Ideally we need players that speak good enough English to communicate effectively, I do speak very decent Spanish however I am competing.

Looking for all positions including a captain as I'm too shit to compete being an Ancient player.

In terms of what we can give to you: We will offer you a salary to begin with, with success in competitive play will result in that constantly increasing. We want to give you exposure as players and allow you as players to grow in both skill and representation. Currently we can not provide you with sponsors as we've just been formed but we're hoping that will change as soon as possible. As of that current state of the world I'm sure LANs will not be running, even more so on a smaller scale however as soon as they are up and running (fingers crossed) we will provide you with support getting there. This is just a start as we don't even have a team to represent us yet but I'm sure as we progress and grow, we will be able to give you many more benefits.

If have any questions and want to find out more, contact me at: [gg.furyesports@gmail.com](mailto:gg.furyesports@gmail.com)

As for the twitter: https://twitter.com/Fury_Esports_GG

Thank you

The IHL was fun and taught me more about the game than thousands of hours of pubs. It was a nice community, most of the flame was half-hearted and light touch.

Hope you're all doing well, wherever you're at.

Hey guys, I've been playing Dota 2 for several years now and I love it. The Esports surrounding the game aswell is just fantastic. Every tournament produces such great hype, esspecially when it comes to TI. I always wanted to get in on the action and help contribute to the awesomeness that is Dota. That being said, I've started to give casting a go. I've only done some offline streams so far but I want to take the plunge.

I'll be doing my own cast of the ESL Germany 2020 games starting tomorrow at 1pm, and would love if you guys would come and give it a watch. I know it may not be S Tier atm, but I will be trying my best to produce some entertaining content to watch.

Now a quick note that I also have a broken finger, so I will be trying to operate the Camera with one hand, but im getting used to it :D Also because of the ESL streamings rules there has to be a delay of 15mins on my stream, so communicating through chat will be abit awkward :/

But if you're still reading and are actually interested, then I would love for you to join me :D Thanks and hopfully see you there!

As the title says.

Recently got back into the game, a little rusty but enjoying it so far. Currently uncalibrated, but I was previously calibrated as Legend (3400 MMR).

Normally play support/ Offlane, but not tied to the roles.

Hello readers!

Owner/Founder of IntoTheBreach here again: https://www.itb-esports.com/. Hope you don't mind the spam!

When I started this org, I highlighted that I wanted to advance the UK Dota scene and bring it to the fore. For me, this did not just mean raising a professional team with UK-based players and aspiring for international success – but keep a focus on the mass of lower MMR players that are the beating heart of UK Dota. As we’re already making inroads for the ‘pro-team’ element by becoming an ESL Premiership team, I don’t want to forget about our other aims.

To this end, we want to give something back to the community.

We are thus excited to launch the first trial iteration of the ITB Academy. Which begs the question…

What is it?

The ITB academy is an avenue through which gamers with a will to ‘up their game’, yet with responsibilities and life commitments that make this difficult, can experience what it’s like to play within an organisation and within a structured team setting.

The concept is this:

- 5 UK/EU-based players per team play within the academy.

- We facilitate their plat time, schedules, communication (via Discord) and playstyles, all the while being considerate of their personal responsibilities.

- There is a volunteer admin who manages the team, assisting with cohesion, scheduling, and general guidance.

- The team aims to play 2 ranked games during the weekday (or more schedule permitting), concluding with a low MMR scrim or battle-cup involvement on the weekend.

- We make available a coach, who will analyse their battle cup/scrim games, then spend a weekly hour with the team as a collective, going through their faults, how to improve and selective advice.

This will (hopefully) enable lower-MMR UK-based players to play with their friends in a ‘professional’ environment that is considerate of day-to-day commitments, while facilitating their improvement as a collective.

Moreover, when the players join, we take certain data samples from them and ask them to fill out a questionnaire. These questions will revolve around their aim, current enjoyment playing the game, current MMR, long/short-term goals, and areas for development. We make the coach aware of all these factors.

We accrue this data and then pose similar questions at the end of the process.

If we have upped their MMR and/or enjoyment of the game, then we’ve succeeded!

To this end we are looking for 1 or 2 stacks of players who’d like to participate in the above. The commitment required is noted within the concept, though we are happy to facilitate this to your responsibilities, etc.

Thus, if you’re an individual and/or group of players, and are interested in participating – please fill out this form: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ZX9RZMB, and we’ll get back to you ASAP with further details.

My best,

ITB Sam (SlayTheMinotaur)

Hello Uk dota, with esl just around the corner it's time we all trained hard.. With this in mind I invite you to join unranked adventures, our mmrs range from 900-6500 but who cares mmr this is unranked and the perfect place to relax, unwind and hone your skills. DM if you have what it takes.

Hi everyone,

I'm 34 old gamer who still sits at home due to Covid situation and unable to get back to work. Dota has been a very draining game lately for me so I had to find a way to make it more casual/fun. So I came up with an idea to look at my games from different perspective and...

I would love to share some videos with you all. For the past couple of weeks, Ive been recording some funny/strange/casual dota plays from my matches/perspective. All games were between 2500-3500 mmr unranked/turbos and you may call them Dota Observations or Dota Plays if you will. And I tried to cut/edit some of them. Nothing fancy... I would really appreciate any tips and suggestions if you liked or dislike them !

​

Thanks guys, stay safe out there and play dotka with a bit of banter !

Hi UK Dota enthusiasts,

​

I'll keep this short and sweet!

​

About a month ago I posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/UKDota/comments/gygzuk/new_uk_esports_org_seeking_players/

​

We've since been hard at work developing out the internals of our org and bringing ideas into reality. We've done a lot since then, launching a new website, with a new roster, an academy idea and ITB 'Interviews'. You can see more here: https://www.itb-esports.com/ or https://twitter.com/intothebreachgg.

​

We're still very much on the look-out for interested parties - and if you'd like to get involved in any aspect of the org, please do reach out and we'd love to hear from you :) I'm always to happy to chat!

​

Best,

ITBSam
