DotA Sites

I will make up to you guys. I will gonna post again.

No will talk about the dota sites that I stumbled upon. There are really different personalities in the dota sites. And I created this for what icefrog said in his blog.

First let's go to www.Dota-Allstars.com

This is the first dota site ever created. I've visited the website and posts there. They topics there are helpful but some are just spamming threads like "who is countering this hero?" like that. In my first experience there, I realized that the site is not new user friendsly. There are old topics that still there. The lay-out has long time to load. There are no quick replies! Darn so I have to push that reply button. Also, I see that the people there are not that friendly. It seems like the persons there are always replying to the topic starter only. They do not comment to each other. I experienced that it is getting boring since like every topic about dota is discussed there. So I felt like what icefrog felt. Differences.

Second let's go to the second site where dota is the topic, www.DotaPortal.com

It's hard getting to the forum there since it is ESnation. I think that this site has the most person-friendly databas and also the most updated database. They also give additional info in there home page. Also, there is a shoutbox too. Still I'm bored by the not that activeness of the boards there.

Next stop is the GArena Forums.

I visited there and it was good but, again, the boards are not that active. If you post now, you will get comments maybe 5 minutes after you post it. I also saw, when I visited the forum for filipinos there, that it is kinda boring in the part there. I think there is nothing more that I can say. mmmmm......

Next is the spammer land! www.dotaph.com

Damn, it is spammer land. I posted my guide there then the guys there are replying in smilies, k, or something that cant help with the or no reason for posting in that thread. I checked the rules and then they said that there are no rules. No rules for sig size limit. Damn it was like mayhem there. Every people spam. It seems like the moderators aren't moderating there. I see people not posting in the right thread. So I decided it was chaos there. I also realized that people there are so pessimistic. I said that there should be a password in thir garena room then people then tell that there should be no password because no one's getting there but when I saw the room, there are so many people. O_o. weird.

Lastly, my favorite place, www.DotAStrategy.com

All in all, this is my favorite and most visited dota site. They have the next largest community next to DA. They are the third major dota site that became popular. At first, te site was dominated by filipino guys, but because of the good guides. It became an international site. At this site I learn how to be a forumer. I have stayed more than two years in the site and the attitude of the people there became more mature. I also saw that the board there is really friendly though in some cases they will just pawn you with the mighty search engine of DS. Though the dota forums are not that active anymore, the random forums are the ones that becoming popular. It seems like when there is nothing new in the dota threads, they will just go to the random threads. Though they have strict rules, it feels like it is very comfortable and they have warnings to. So come join us, I know you will like it there.

It's still you choice of sites to go to. If you want to then visit the international site that I've said, If you want to join some local site then find at your locale. Thank you guys!

Leak Maps

I'm back!

Probably I'm on vacation since it is vacation time here in the phil so I'm back!

Let's talk about leak maps.

This leak maps are somewhat fault by some beta testers. They just want to make the other players to see the bugs to help them. Especially that there are many changes in the 6.60 map.

The leaking of maps that are waited by the people are very often now. It's just like a spoiler for the next map. That's why at the realease of the map where there is Admiral, his name is captain Obvious.

This leak maps can be helpful too. It makes the other league players or tournament players to practice or to see what will happen at the next map. Also, to take advantage for the games they will play at that map.

So I'm back!

Thanks guys for going at this blog!
