Hi everybody,
I haven’t blogged in a while and I apologize. I tried blogging a while back during the holidays about my trip in California at the ESWC in 2008 but the blog was too plain and my memories weren’t fresh enough to keep it entertaining.

Today is a new era for me. I decided to quit the DotA scene. I love the game and I somehow enjoy the community but I’ve come to realize that to get on the pro circuit, it requires way too much time. You need to prove yourself on a constant basis and you also need connections (which was the biggest problem for me).

I am currently twenty years old and find myself too old to spend so many hours a week on this lovely game. I also had a wake up call. You can watch this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKBRG_QgEAM

Now I would like to thanks special persons I had the pleasure to meet during my journey. Thank you TR|Azen for giving me the opportunity to prove myself last summer in IDEC. Without that opportunity, I wouldn’t be even close to the level I am today. Thank you OK|syndereN for helping me out in IDEC everyday, giving me tips and helping me thru Ventrilo, I miss these old IDEC days, they truly were the best. Thank you ^.^Bulba^.^ for your friendship, it would have been boring without you. 

I would also like to give shout outs to : Drew, Ken, Taku, Juice, Power-net, inphinity, Lust, Kiseki, Spit-wad, Ganked, Akiri, Playmate, Donald-Duck, Black, Vein, eXain, JesseQ, CAT, Twistd, Pajkatt and my lovely rat, minitito.

I am not saying I will never touch the game again but I will not have internet at home. You might end up seeing me play a game or 2 of DP at a net café if there’s one close to where I’ll be moving in a year or so. I would also like to thanks Alan and Abby for their time spent on IDEC and DotA-Pride. Oh, and I hope the community starts growing up soon so DotA is able to become a real e-sports.

Farewell, 

dRw

Suuuuuuuuup guys :D

I'm extremly bored and i thought i could entertain myself by writing a blog.
First off, i never wrote any blogs mainly because my ''level'' of english isn't quite outstanding but i've been improving over the years.

There's a lot of things i could talk about right now but i decided to talk a little bit about my background giving the fact that i'm a newcomer in the DotA community. I've been playing warcraft 3 ever since TFT. I played ladder for quite some time.

After reaching top10 solo on battle.net (East) 1 or 2 years after TFT came out, i choose to manage instead of ''going pro'' since i was a big fanboi of all these big pros. After being a manager of several WC3L teams (verge/PGS), i started playing dota with real life friends ( that would be late 2007 ).

There is a channel on quakenet for players of wc3l called #wc3l-players and one day (november-december 2007) one of the big dota pros came into our channel ( i believe he was invited by a bulgarian player called shocker) Him and the big pro were playing IHCS. Some of you might wonder who that big pro was :).

It was puppey. Puppey was such a nice guy. So me and ToD (a famous wc3 player) got vouched into IHCS and thats where i got to meet all the big dota pros and where my ''journey'' in the dota scene started. I eventually became manager of XsK (Puppey's team) back in march. We were talking to several top notch organisation but the team died.

Then mo and samurai from XsK made Jukes on You (the american version) and asked me to help them find a sponsor for ESWC 2008. We got sponsored by Pandemic and i went with them at ESWC 2008 where i got to meet loda and his team (akke and bogdan are nice guys) the EG crew (whisper dogkaiser and king <3) and so on. Oh hyhy was a nice guy (even tho he prolly doesnt remember me).

After that we came back online and pandemic was doing good (beating MYM and such) but remstar took my players away offering them a spot on EG (that would be september-october 2008). While being on pandemic, i talked a lot with drayich (for random reasons lol:P) and when i had no more buisness to deal with old pandemic players i offered him my help to find a better sponsor (mouz being cheap at the time being). I scouted the scene (november-december 2009) but sponsors weren't interested in picking up dota teams.

Only thing i could found was ks.int. Since mouz was looking to pick up Puppey (since ks.int broke up (old ks int jolie gunz puppey n some russians) We decided to ''move'' to ks.int and i stayed there for a while (until early january).

I decided to go pro back in december. I got myself a new computer and i started training. Started playing cw's in febuary and been practicing ever since. Oh and i helped MET get sponsored by ravens in febuary doing some ''counceling'' <3 ducky/smiske/misery/angel/miggel

This is quite an enormous blog Haha. This is my first time. Don't be too harsh on me, i know lots of haters are just gonna tell me it sucked but if you have any questions, any comments feel free to post (same goes for you, damn haters ! )

I didn't know what it meant in the first place. Users here translated it as "titties like desrow" and I found it quite funny since it's supposed to mean "too long; didn't read". So, I just posted it here as a joke since your the guy (desrow). Have fun and good luck on sc2!
