All I can say is we have had contact...so we'll see Stay tuned and wait for ze brackets next week!

so FAsT no slot d !!~~@@@!!!!???

Slots reserved for SG, Philipines, MYM, Russian teams,

There are still slots available but you would need to act fast. Please contact Calvin@016-7566794

it will be interesting to see how much teams like RoA , MKVL, SK benefited from joining MYM tourney and playing with

those teams from different parts of the world, whether they improvement have bring our malaysia teamplay

standard on par with the top singapore teams,

in my opinion, i feel teams like RoA and MKVL really benefitted from the healthy amount of competitive games they

gotten from joining in MYM tours, that why their performance have been so "sharp" and cohesive during the Sino

tournament , these 2 teams really make good effort to keep their gameplay in top shape, while others have slacked ,

and complain of lag problem of MYM tourney, these 2 teams are rewarded for actively participating in MYM

tourney.

IMPORTANT!

As obligation to Sendi Mutiara Multimedia due to sponsorships and stuff, we will be changing certain rules for this tournament. I am very sorry for the late notice but we have only had a meeting several hours ago and came to this conclusion. These set of rules, I believe, will be implemented for SMM Selangor qualifiers onwards (might be further clarified by Lim or underminer). Seedings and brackets will be done by underminer and will be out at a later date. I will also call up teams to confirm the change of rules. If you know any teams that will be joining, please do inform them of the change of rules. Thanks a lot for your help in this matter.

P.S. Registration is still open but will close soon. Do register ASAP in order to not miss the chance to pit yourself against the likes of the very best in the Malaysian DotA gaming scene.

Changes from the former rules are :

1. BristleBack (BB) is allowed to be drafted again.
2. Added a "take out hero" draft before the drafting sessions. It will be conducted using the 1-1-1-1-1-1 format.
3. The drafting will be changed to the 1-2-2-2-2-1 format.
4. All drafting are done before the game starts. -AP will be typed in game.

The rules are almost the same as MYM but differs at slight points. This includes rules for backdooring and sharing of control.

Nice stuff, already expected that SMM will change the rules into -xl, its more fair in that way and it also promote more competitive play by getting more creative drafts. Maybe we wont be seeing so much of QOP, SK, Spectre, Warlock anymore. Wise decision. At least other country ppl wont say that Malaysia dota is outdated and Malaysian player has no adaptability over the game. =)

Thanks for the positive feedback, kahwai85. Soothing my fears that I will be getting negative feedbacks... *phew*

Changes are definite, from version 5 to version 6, from team pick to all pick. Its something that all of us must adapt, one of the reason SMM came up with this huge 30k tournament is to shift the Dota scene from ver 5 to ver 6 and that is a success. I can't see any reason people will get piss over these changes. Good job on being the first mover.

Should be not a problem.

I'm having an event using -xl mode too although haven't post any details yet but my local teams already knew.

Wow with this mode implemented it will be very interesting..

-xl mode nice! no more gosu hero! but more type of game play instead of "regular" hero

Hohoho banning hero

Can I remove Gamma2k from drafting?

Next time I make Extra extended league, Remove Opponent player and game hero. h0h0h0

nice move
glad to c msian dota team advance to another level
