The Infinity Project is hosting a kick-off tournament!

The Infinity Project, now under the url www.LetsScrim.com, is finally starting to come together. To generate some interest and to check the reins so to speak, we are looking to host a tournament.

We have been playing DotA for nearly a decade. We love the game, and are just trying to give back to the community and to help it grow. As much as we would like to be business mongrels, this is just a tournament hosted by dedicated players for dedicated players.

We are hoping that there is enough interest in the community to flesh out a tournament. We will scrounge up a prize pool but it will just be a symbolic sum.

If you have not heard about The Infinity Project I would refer you to our previous post, http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/commen...inity_project/
