Grand DotA Allstars Tournament 2008

Not even a week after returning to my cubicle, I found out that I have been enlisted to join my fellow colleagues in a DotA tournament. I find it funny how a week earlier I was still in a hospital bed grimacing in pain and agony.


Grand DotA Allstars Tournament 2008.

More information on this tournament such as the rules can be accessed in the Lowyat.NET forum.

The registration fee for this tournament is RM100 and my team is lucky enough to secure a hefty sum of 50% sponsorship from our bosses. It is certainly flattering to have the support and backing of the higher-ups in the office.

To be frank, I do not see my team going very far in this tournament as this is our very 1st maiden participation in a public DotA tournament. Heck, even most of the players in my team are public players... including ME!


Team TROJS.

From what I have read in the forum, a lot of cybercafes are sending their teams to the tournament. I have even read some rumours claiming that team KingSurf (currently the #1 DotA team in Malaysia) is participating as well WTF?!

The tournament roster has yet to be posted online at the moment. Next update would be after the tournament ends my team is eliminated.

My dear friend, please spend more time to rest instead of spending hours in front of the PC playing Dota ending up losing the match considering that you had just came back from a surgery.

If you really have to go, then PLEASE juggle your time wisely.

@hoe tien han:
I am already back to the office for almost 1 week. Hence, I guess another day in the cybercafe should not be too harmful. :(

Nevertheless, thanks for the advice. I shall rest more once the tournament is over.

A little update to you: I shall be going up to Genting Highlands on 26th & 27th April for my department's Teambuilding event. Any chance to meet you there?

@hoe tien han:
I cannot imagine what I can do once I am in Genting Highlands. :( I am not interested in casino and the outdoor theme park sounds boring to me. :(

I do not mind if you do not wish me luck in the tournament but you ended up cursing me instead. :'(

Yeah... no more basketball for now. 1 of my colleague asked me to join him for paintball but I have to gracefully decline the offer. :P

@hoe tien han:
Basketball > paintball.
