Blight?

Hey guys,

The biggest mistake we've made regarding sponsors and organizations has been to commit to Blight gaming and Blackfogs false words and unprofessional behaviour. I will in this blog entry describe how blackfog have tried several times now, to make us play under his pathetic organization by permanent lies and by constantly avoiding any kind of questions from our team.

First time we heard from "Blight Gaming" was even before we went to ADL in China, they contacted us after all the drama with eryc, fnatic and everything. Blackfog himself, started out talking with us through mirc and after a short meeting with him there, we decided to talk with him and other managers of Blight gaming on Ventrilo to discuss further.

On ventrilo we were told that they could send us to china with everything paid 100% surely and SMM as well around 80%.

Since we were still a part of the fnatic organization, they demanded around 250EURO each for us to leave them. Due to blight and their offer and promises via ventrilo and mIRC, we decided to pay the money to fnatic ourselves so we could be released from them. Blackfog was now in our private channel everyday, and kept telling us that we would get the money soon. Though the closer we got to the events, the more we started questioning his words and he was often dodging talking with us, acting like he was afk. Just a month before the event(s), he claimed he would have only 4000-5000$ dollars ready 2 weeks before the event which wasn't close to enough for either SMM or ADL, Though, it would still cover some of the flight tickets and we were ofcourse still happy with that as well. After the two weeks he was afk for 2-3 days but finally he came back from his so called "very important meetings" and told he didn't have any money ready BUT that he would have 1000$ just before the event started. We talked a bit together in the team and decided to pay the tickets to the event in china ourselves anyway cause we were so excited to go there. We agreed we would play for blight if they could provide us the 1000$ for food expenses down there, but surprisingly enough they couldn't even give us these money either.

Now just a little month ago he contacted us again and gave us an apology and kinda blamed his sponsors but also claimed he had gotten control over everything in the organization and that they could easily sponsor us for ESWC as well as SMM. I could write the whole story again, but it would just be entirely the same story as with before China. They failed to give us 1000$ for ESWC even though he told us plenty of times they were coming. He even sent us screenshots of his paypal with 1000$ sent to a unknown account as a desperate try to make us stay just a bit longer, which we actually did. It still was a hard decision for the team to believe in his words again and at that time we had no other oportunities. So unfortunately we believed in the best in human and didn't think he would perform such an act towards us again.

I'm happy to announce that we're not a part of this truely sad "organization" Blight Gaming

This whole episode leaves us without sponsor for ESWC, so if anyone is interested in helping us out with reimbursing our travel expenses feel free to mail to our manager, broesly: djbotond@hotmail.com

Ps: We bought the flighttickets from our F4F winnings, so we will attend to ESWC!

My Apology

Hey guys

I would like to make an apology to all my and DDT's fans, as well as the whole Dota community for my behaviour in the yesterdays match against Competo.

Even though I wasn't satisfied with the general attitude in the game, it was ridicolously disrespecful towards my friends and teammates to quit the game in that manner. I was acting as a really bad example for the fans, I'm truely sorry and it will never happen again.

The team has been together for almost a year now and after a couple of months in China, several LAN tournaments and experiences together, we really see each other as friends and not only Dotaplayers. This makes it easy to talk things through and solve the intern problems we and every team has once in a while, so just to clear everything out guys - Ducky's Dream Team is still growing stronger than ever!!

The game against TeG

After a while of lazyness, I decided to write on my blog again and the subject for today will rely on the match against TeG we played yesterday.

As you might know this was the first match we lost with this team and it's ofcourse always sad to lose and I was really pissed right after, but I believe the team needed it to find the right spirit and motivation back after plenty of easy matches.

The game started out in the picking phase obviously, and already at that point people were focusing on everything else than the actual game we were about to play. We kinda didn't get the picks we wanted 100%, but in the end it didn't matter.

The way we played ingame was the main reason for this loss. Top lane which was our strongest lane that we thought was gonna win us the early game phase, made too many mistakes on the lane that caused the whole game to colapse. I did what I could middle with Morph, but it's incredibly hard vs pugna, and even though I got decent farm, it wasn't enough since potm,rk and enigma didn't have the items nor lvl to gang the map properly after the laning phase.

Ofcourse TeG played really well and punished us for every single mistake we made, but TeG should never be a problem for us in the future, and It's not a team I fear in any way. Basically any team could have beaten us when we played like we did this match.

I'm ofcourse a bit sad after this loss but I know it's good for the team to lose a game now and then and since it's pick-league it doesn't matter - we're gonna win the tournament in the end anyway.

Now we're gonna have focus on the Prodota.ru final, Farm4Fame finals and ofcourse CMStorm finals that are coming closer slowly.

That's all from me for now, take care

fighting!~ LOL

MiSeRy's first blog!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

I decided to start this blog mainly due to a decent amount of fans asking me for it and after some consideration and after i finally pulled myself together i'm ready to write my first topic. So, here I am and it is indeed a very nice place to share your thoughts to the fans or whoever that might be reading, so lets get started!

Today we played against unique-esports which consists of some of the best german players and it (maybe) is the best German team. After the bans we decided to go for the roshan strategy we had been working on in practice matches, and since it worked out perfectly in the scrims - we were really confident in using this tactic.

The strategy is as i mentioned a roshan-lvl1-strategy, where you due to shadowfiends aura and bristlebacks nasal goo, gets roshan's armor very low. this obviously makes him easier to kill and with the help from witch doctors aura-heal and kotl giving mana to bristle, Roshan goes down before the creeps hits each other.

The good thing about this strategy is that it's really hard if not impossible to detect that we're actually killing roshan with these heroes. Furthermore the lineup also has great lanes, good lategame and decent teamfight heroes.

The plan worked out very succesfully and cause of the gold and experience gained from killing roshan we had a huge advantage in the lanephase. Even though top lane was a bit problematic at times, Loda still managed to get his farm as he always does, and when we had our spells and items ready we could just run them over in the mid lane.

I'm really satisfied with the teams performance today and generally at the moment, it's working out really great with the new additions and the team spirit and morale is very high.

It actually feels like we can't get any challenge in europe anymore.

Thats all from me for now!

Take care
