DCE - Legends never die!
(Updated: 22nd June 2008 19:51)
Almost every European DotA player will know what i speak of, when i say the name DCE; a clan once started by a bunch of friends who just wanted to have fun, the 'Drugs, Cash and Extacy' included some of the most famous DotA players in Europe and was one of the first competitive DotA clans, but the desire of this prestigious clan turned out to be something different, after some of the players left, the clan pretty much died out and fell apart, until it got reanimated by Shad0wknight82 as 'DotA Community Europe', who together with J3m and a few others build up a bot-based community, first open to everyone but with bans, if you broke a rule and a rapidly growing player base, the first chieftain of DCE was Shad0wknight82, who built up this great gaming community, then followed by ShangOo, Strontkop, Mark) and finally NeuerLaptop, always accompanied by dedicated staff members, who put a lot of time and effort in this famous battle.net channel, before the prestigious ihcs existed, DCE was the only place aside from scrims, where you could find decent games, so all the big names made their start there.
At its zenith, the DCE channel had thousands of safe listed players and new games going down every minute, but this great community had to suffer a little bit by the competitive completely relocating to GGC/Garena, so DCE stayed a place for people, that play to have fun and chill with their friends to play relaxed and friendly games.
Nowadays DCE is a very traditional and prestigious community, which manages to get along just fine with their bulletproof system and a lot of innovations to increase the quality of their games and their channel, i myself had the chance to work in the clan for a decent amount of time and got to know a lot of people very well, i can even call some of them my friends.
So, if you are looking for relaxed games, without the pressure of being the best and scoring the most points, in DCE you will find a place that will give you a home and probably a couple of good friends!
Do you think more events between the Korean pro-scene and the foreign community should be organized? (Example: Spirit Tournament, World-Wide Invitiational) (875 votes)
Yes, it will help both communities grow stronger!

Yes, but it will do very little for both communities or help only one of the two
