I'm from the UK. I started playing last year, played about 700 matches I think.

I do really enjoy the game, although I find the people are often very horrible in the chat, especially when I'm struggling in a game.

Usually I play disruptor, but I've been trying to branch out a bit more recently and try lots of other heroes.

Hi.

Well Hi everybody.

I'm from Wales, and if I ever reach the point that people do want to refer to me on first name terms, it'll be Barty. (Not that that is my real name, but it has a nice ring to it)

I got into the game a few months ago after overhearing a few friends talking about it, and then watching some pro-games. (Well an awful lot of pro games, the whole of the D2CL, the Summit finals, the TI4 Qualifiers ect ect), and admittedly due to my nerves around actually playing against other people I've played far fewer games than pro games I've watched. (11 and counting wooo!)

Since then I've spent most of my time straying away from Carry heroes (Save for some Shadow Fiend vs Bots), and have mostly been playing either off-laners or supports (Namely Centaur, Lich, Lion and Treant). Given I feel like playing low level games with supports will prepare me for high levels of play better. (Thus why I also like watching pro-plays, since I can see stuff to attempt to gain early advantages whether it's simple stuff like creep pulling in the safe lane, or stuff I've only seen in pro-matches till now (Boots first Tree, support Tiny to win the mid lane ect ect)

Basically I just want to slowly improve my play level, since I'm very prone to somewhat basic errors. And I'm happy to be hear to help improve them through discussion and knowledge of good players.

Since you just can't have enough Chaos Breaker.

Hi guys, my name is Kyle and im probably the youngest one here(im 16)

I played WC3 before dota was created and i think its an advantage. I started playing dota seriosuly since early 2k10 and started playing dota2 about a couple months before the last diretide

I ussually play a carry when i play, but ill play support if i have to(damn you pub-crawlers -.-). Im active with chat, and i dont trashtalk(unless i feel cocky). Im ''good" with Earth Spirit even after the nerf. And i like to challenge myself with other challenging heroes(like Meepo or Dark Seer. Im not that greedy with hero kills and i prefer farming creeps than dying in a major clash

Sadly i had a losing streak a coule months ago and my MMR was reduced to 2.3k T-T

No way you're the youngest here, Kyle. I assure you I am younger.

Well hello guys,

I'm bballer23 from the US, although my family is originally of Chinese descent(yeah asians!). Anyway, I am 14 years old and I started playing Dota about 4-6 months ago? I'm not completely sure because time flies when your playing Dota. I've logged just over 300 hours of Dota and about 100 pub games. Some other things I enjoy are playing guitar, computer programming, math(living up to that Chinese stereotype), and playing basketball(NOT living up to that Chinese stereotype, Jeremy Lin anyone?).

In Dota 2, I am flexible. I play basically any role because at my level of play, which is really low, it doesn't really matter. I play the thankless job of support most often though because everyone else plays carries. Why do people like sitting around and trying and failing to get farm when you could be roaming around helping get kills. My least played role-the ganker/mid roles actually appeals to me most, weird. I play low skill heroes most of the time cuz I am bad...

DID YOU KNOW...?
My basketball team got second place in Massachusetts for the 7th grade state tournament, pretty cool huh? At least I think so. If there is one thing I know, it is that I am a much better basketball player than Dota 2 player.

FOLLOW UP FACT
I was cut from that same second place team the next year...heh but I didn't quit and am still working on my game for this year. At least I didn't do this:

bballer23 has disconnected from the game.
Abandonment by bballer23. The game is now safe to leave.

Although I admit, I have done that in Dota before. Well, that is it for me, who's next?

I'll be. I'm TheSofa and I hail from Canada. I am really under-age. Like really. I begged my parents to play DotA, and after a while, they let me. Although I still have numerous restraints around me, like the rule to never play public (I know, right?). I usually play with friends (thank goodness I have a full lobby of them). I started in Oct. 2013. I think that's it for now...

Mm, haven't introduced myself yet. I am 14 years old, and I live in the US. My brother is about 10 years older than me, and he played the original DotA when it came out. He let me play it every once in a awhile too, and eventually he also got Dota 2 when it went into beta and let me play. I started formally playing about a year ago, maybe a bit less. I play a wide range of roles, mostly Support, Carry, and Initiator. I play a single mid hero, TA, and I'm trying to get better at ganking at the moment. When I finished calibration, I was 1.9k MMR. I thought that sucked, so now I'm 2.2k and rising. Probably my favorite heroes gameplay-wise would be(in this order) Tusk, Templar Assassin, Ogre Magi, and Ember Spirit. I'm probably not sticking around sadly, I'm going to a boarding school in about a month which will likely end my semi-serious Dota 2 play, but oh well. So I've pretty much played DotA since I was about 7 or 8, but only got competent about a year ago. I'm a fast learner.

Haaai 。◕ ‿ ◕。.

My name is Belle, but lately everyone knows me online as Bunnie or MonsterBunnie. I am from Romania, Bucharest. I am a sociable person and always friendly to everyone, especially I love to meet new people.

Of course, I'm gamer. I am in the 12th grade in Highschool. I am pasionated about art and philosophy, even if I study for going at Medicine University.

I am more PC gamer than other consoles. I am more into action, shooter, horror, mmorpgs, moba, co-op, single, etc... games -giggles-. Actually I am pasionated about playing moba games (like Dota2) and developing my skills in them n_n.

If you want to know more about me orif anyone needs help or playing something...don't be afraid to leave a message.
