Hi. I a mid level player who is comfortable to play any role. I am unfortunately not available to play more than +-9 games a week (I have many other responsibilities and struggle to make time for games). HOWEVER, I really enjoy the challenge of playing a game to its fullest potential and have done heaps of research into DOTA2. I am 30, have 1 kid and am a Veterinarian by trade. I live in South Africa and I can usually play between 20:00- 23:00 (GMT +2). I usually play on the EU West and South African servers. I used to play DOTA 1 back when it just started (2005), when I had more time for games.

Whoops. Forgot to mention that very important fact. I live in South Africa and I can usually play between 20:00- 23:00 (GMT +2). I usually play on the EU West and South African servers.

Well that may work - I am based in the UK

I am a 31, have 1 kid and a charterd accountant and I too enjoy the challenge of playing a game to its fullest potential and have done heaps of research into DOTA2 (even though I am new with only 50 odd pub games, the research really helps the learning curve).

I too am limited to when I game and currently have an agreement with my wife whereby I do my "geek" time (as I also do Warhammer 40k) and play Wednesday and Saturday evenings typically play from 19.30 - 00:30 which usually equates to 5 games a time in a row.

Hero wise, I am testing the waters still but I have a core that seem to work for me.

Usually play with my mate and use "mumble" for communications but he is out of action at the moment so just solo pubbing it.

Sound interested ? :o)

Hi Commando.

It seems you have a bit more experience with online gaming than me. This is my first online gaming experience, so i'm not familiar with all the etiquette(I used to LAN Dota 1 with a couple of friends about 6 years ago). But i am keen to give it a shot. I have heard people use teamspeak or skype (or the actual DOTA comm), but we can do mumble. Its up to you. I'm gonna download teamspeak and mumble, just let me know how to connect with you.
Don't we need a full team of five, or can we play together in the pubs? You see I dont know much....but I do know how to play the game.

My Dota 2 name is also Nutbuster. Ill me online tonight. Friend me when you get a chance.

Maybe we can try this Wednesday at say 20:00 (GMT+2)?

Thanks

Nutbuster
