The league became inactive due to many reasons, but mainly because of the lack of autonomy with it and some players were targeted by hackers, which discouraged game play. Those who played in GM should fear no more; the admin staff have returned and promise to bring back an inhouse league consisting of competitive and highly skilled games.
Garena had a chance to speak to Licina about their rebirth:
Do you have an idea about why it didnt work before?
-"A majority of the players became inactive due to some malicious activity by hackers. We also had a mix of low/highly skilled players playing together, which encouraged mediocre game play."
Does GM-League have got a chance to dethrone Dotapride?
-"Yes, firstly because GM was around long before DotA Pride and even though we failed last time, I have gathered a strong and determined team around me that will take this league to new heights. Secondly, plenty of well known players are tired of the chaos within DotA Pride 2 and have promised me their support."
Elite players will automatically be accepted into this league, but if you believe you possess the required skills, you can submit an application HERE. For those who don't get accepted, there will also be a public league put in place.
Only time will tell whether Guerilla Method will be able to dethrone DotA Pride, but until then, be sure to make your applications and participate in what promises to be an inhouse league of high standard.
