The American Dota League started tonight, with the top teams of North and South American going up against one another. The matches are cast by none other than Aaron 'Ayesee' Chambers.

The American Dota League is a league in which Americans finally can play without having to use Europe-server for every other game. The league intends to help develop the scene in North America as well as South America where countries like Brazil, Peru and Argentine can be seen with strong teams on a regular basis. Tonight, May 28 (that is the night to May 29 for people in Europe) marks the launch of the league. The opening eve features teams like Artyk, Denial (previously known as Eosin+4) as well as Evil Geniuses. Since GosuGamers last reported about this event, Fnatic.NA was replaced by a team called Smeagol, featuring SMURF- in the roster. Also, neX-Impetus was replaced by fellow Brazilian team Meenix with ex-vTi players such as CHINA and Fuzzy in the ranks.

All the teams listed above will play each other twice throughout the regular season and points will be calculated according to the number of wins. The top two places of the season will be seeded directly into the semi-finals while the third to sixth places have to play each other in the quarter-finals. The playoffs will be a best-of-five format in the quarter-finals and semi-finals while the grand final will be a best-of-seven.

Aaron 'Ayesee' Chambers will be casting the games of ADL.
