I sit down and talk to Drayich after mouz lost to SK and they found themselves in the lower brackets. He strike me as a very enthusiastic and friendly guy who is easy to talk to.
We speak about the game and the DreamHack tournament, about the site and other things. He says that he used to visit GosuGamers daily to get an overview of everything that happens, but lately that didn't work because the site wasn't as updated. I know he's right.
The following is just an introduction for new players. It is to help them find the proper tools to help them advance quickly (quicker than finding what I am providing them themselves while stumbling in the dark).
There will be more guides to come. For instance; specifics about many of the programs mentioned in this guide. Player guides for Wc3, CS:S and Quake3/4. And a few Miscellaneous guides as well.
I hope you enjoy, and if you feel there is anything missing. Please feel free to contact me via a Private Message.
ASUS Spring 2008
Dota Allstars
Moscow, Russia / 17-18 of May 2008
One of the most prestigoues LAN-tournament was played last week-end at Moscow. There were a lot of interesting things there. Nice games, the best teams, non-standart line-ups and fantastic DoTa-atmosphere!

Vasiliy Pepelyaev aka Virtus|joliE doesn't need any introduction anymore. He is the captain for the famous Virtus.Pro. After some problems recently with their line-up and getting banned from Prime Defending and the Prime Defending League. Most people declared Virtus.Pro dead.
However Virtus.Pro showed everyone that they are still one of the top teams by winning ASUS Open Spring 2008. Domi sat down with joliE and was able to ask him some questions!
Recently a team added a player that was once caught maphacking. This action raised several questions. How long should someone be banned from competing if caught hacking? Do people that get caught get treated the same? Is it important that they show remorse concerning their actions? And the biggest question maybe, how can we actually make these bans a realisation?
All these question have been already asked a thousand times. These aren't questions that only apply to DotA. But have been very prominent in every game, maybe the most in Counter-Strike, however hacking is an issue in every type of game. FPS, RTS, MMo's, ... I will try to find an answer to the questions raised above in this article based on other games.
