my eyes are blurred......

Why not follow the singapore rules as in
-ap
flip coin ,winner gets to choose 1st hero OR side.

So A wins the coin flip, A chooses to get 1st hero,after that, B gets to choose their 1st hero and decide which side of the map they play on.
Then back to A to choose their 2nd hero. Then B's turn again etc.

Until all heroes are picked and written down, game is started. And players must choose according to the heroes they have agreed upon.

I think this is very reasonable and closest to fair in dota.
Since it eliminates the "win due to getting sentinel" scenario/whine.

Especially in the early stages where it's only 1 match knock out . . .

The downside i guess is the hassle. . .

Just my 2 cents.

actually the most fair mode in DOTA should be -ar -mm, then both sides get exactly the same 5 heroes, no more complains.....

but where is the fun in that?

part of the fun in normal pick is seeing team like KS and CT doing the so called "impossible", which is coming up certain combo and win using the scourge side,

yo... nice to here about the 6.27b will be use...
any way... tips for u guys...
6.27b and 5.84c strategy is about the same...
a bit dissapointed with the team pick i have played...
no fun...

but for real tourney, u can use team pick coz it have prizes...

good luck...

Hmm, so u make hav made a decision, and finally u choose v6, wat a good news
anyway, can i sign for being a marshall that day? lawl

this is definately wasting time

the singapore format is makes the game of dota very very open ...in terms of strategy wise ...it forces players to be more versatile and more of a thinking game ...rather than more micro intensive

as to you hellfire ... you r entitled 2 your own opinion ..but please give some respect to cranky ... he is after all ... a well known dota player who knows exactly what he is talking about

one thing i want to comment about the singapore format ... is that ... it rather defeats the purpose of dota in terms of "scourge vs sentinel" format ... as cited by one of my friend.

nevertheless ...it is a very interesting idea ... and i indeed would like to see how games would be played out ...cuz that format is indeed very balanced and fair as hero choices is no longer restricted to 2 pools of heroes

Actually there is a game mode for this, -lm, but the cons is Sen always choose first. I try to use this in my league, but I decided to forget about this league mode reason because of most Malaysian dont know how to read hahahahahaha and once you miss your chance to choose your hero and you are done for good. Lol~ A good mode indeed.

i agree wif you...
the singapore rules cant work here in malaysia....
well anyway, i edi put the comfirmation to my tourney....
hope you guys all can support to this new version tourney...
thanks........

I strongly discourage the use of coin flip for -AP mode. I believe this will break the game balance in someway. Somemore its tournament which I believe each teams should make use of their current side strategy. Not mixing around to mess up. Dota is about Sentinel vs Scourge, this nature should remain no matter what. If you think having Bone on your side means winning then perhaps you need more experience to open your eyes. As far as I know, 6.27b is damn balance for a Sen vs Scou game.

We are Malaysian, run your own rule as long as it is fair.

And, please everyone stop playing 5.84c. Its gay playing it already.

hello there if u don't like 5.84c is fine but pls stop saying bad thing abt ppl who still love playing 5.84c ok....i think the only gay playing dota are u...i guess....btw u have no right asking ppl to stop playing 5.84c.

Well, I will continue to do so and will continue to call them gay.

seriously, i dunno y ppl still sticking to 5.84c, while 6.xx is so much more fun (dont tell me lazy to learn...). the only reason i can think of is it's more unbalanced and easier to abuse, hence "fun"...

just came back from overseas, went to cc an hour ago, all playing 5.84c, i was like wtf??.... left....

edit: oh btw, i'm not saying tat we cant play 5.84c, it's ur own right to abuse, of cos... *sarcasm

strange... since this tourney is using v6...still got ppl talks about v5..
born to complain i guess

noob lose not becuz of the map is becuz of their skills....(n luck)

We are flexible player. So if v5.84 is still the trend in Malaysia, I will enjoy it but that doesn't mean we don't play v6.27. We enjoy every dota game. That my dota spirits.

hey ... its me whoopa ... lol

I recommended use newest map instead the old map , because the old map is got a lot of bug & hero is unbalance. I also suggest play in random mode , because some hero is too strong and some hero is too weak !!!

hi whoopa!
come play dota again haha

dunwan le ... let u tapau ... i saw ur fren in tat server le lol. ....
