Nirvana.int players giving paid tutorials!

So, Nirvana.int professionals are onto something new in DotA... giving paid tutorials!

From Demon's blog...


Recently, I've received a lot of requests for personal help and private DotA lessons so that I can help you and your team reach your maximum potential.


After teaching several people and talking to a couple of my team members, we've decided to offer private lessons in whatever form requested (Practice 1v1's, Replay Analysis, Theorycrafting, etc.)


Merlini, Kuroky, Demon and Fear will be the ones offering help. This will all be done via Ventrilo/Skype, payments will me made through PayPal.

Awesome News: Reconnection in DotA now possible

Icefrog says...

The first version of Varlock's reconnection tool is almost ready for release. We've been testing it in real DotA games for the past few weeks and it has worked very well. We've had many players disconnect only to reconnect moments later, saving otherwise lost games.

The code for this tool (both client and server) will be open source so that anyone can build upon it and integrate it into their platforms and communities.

It's a great advancement for the DotA World. A blessing for the league players while pubbers will get stripped off some of their excuses for leaving the game. ;) Also, we won't lose replays due to save reload. :D

On a side note, I hope you did notice that this tool has not actually been released yet! We still need to wait for a while.

I Got a Boat ft. Kunnka

Pay attention to the lyrics of the song parody... Enjoy ;)

Excerpt from the lyrics...

I'm callin' solo mid.

Ricin' like Viets.

My waveform splashes,

gettin' everybody all wet.

This ain't the AI map.

This is real as it gets.

I got a boat motherfucker,

don't you ever forget.

GET THE FUCK BACK!

THIS BOAT IS REAL!

Fuck lanes, I cross the fjord, motherfucker!

Fuck range, I got a sword, motherfucker!

I got my boys gankin' top, motherfucker!

My X always mark the spot, motherfucker!

Loveen with his sister

With their contracts left unsigned over at Blight, the six members of ex-Blight.Int have decided to look far east where DotA is booming for a more reliable sponsor. After months of searching with speculation of them joining SK-Gaming, the star-studded team has finally found a sponsor from China and it is none other than the former sponsor of CommeDieu during SMM Grand Finals 2009,  Jun Sheng 'Loveen' Chang.
