[DotA] Bitcoin Warcraft III DotA Players Ready for Tournaments Here?

[cashintor1]

Anyone willing to join and play DotA for Bitcoins?

DOTA has never failed to be famous for how many years it has running in the gaming industry. It always amazed me how dota champions earn millions for being a Champion. IF ever bitcoin will be used in DOTA such as purchasing weapons for upgrades then that will be wonderful. That will signal another surge in bitcoins price. Hope it will come true the marriage of bitcoin and dota.

I like to play DOTA. But i stopped playing this game a couple of years ago. I remember i was playing warcraft lll. It was the old one. Im not that good at playing this game. Maybe you can find DOTA players heres because DOTA is very popular game these days. Now we have DOTA2. I haven't played it yet. But if bitcoin and DOTA merged together. That will be nice.

You could do it already since steam already accepted bitcoin on last year as far as i remember you could purchase steam credits which you could use on any steam games and even purchase games on their store but it seems it doesnt affect too much the price of bitcoin but its still good that bitcoin is already being adopted by steam.

I would like to play StarCraft {another Blizzard game} for Bitcoins for sure.  .... It would be great to find non-professional

tournaments, where people could play for bitcoins. < 1 vs 1 > ... I know when I joined a league, we used to play for money in 1 vs 1

challenges, but this was not part of the game, and we hosted it on another platform.

Lol, this really crazy what would bitcoin do with dota? I'm not sure what, are we betting against each other when we play or something in the line of gambling? I'd be interested in playing with you guys if this would really push through. I miss playing DOTA 1, and I'd love to play again. This is like marrying two of the best things I love in this world. Looking forward to this!

[cashintor1]

Yesss! It is just like you say - 'This is like marrying two of the best things I love in this world.' for some people!

It will be real DotA 1 tournament like every Saturday every player gets in with $10/BTC and the teams play against each other and the winner team shares the whole stake from all other players (Think hundreds of USD in BTC).

If there are enough interested folks around here I can push the thing to start this Saturday evening GMT time so the folks from USA can join, not just in EU (Let's not forget the masters Asians).

So please reply with '+1 ........' to count on you to join and measure if it is worth it to organize all this...

Any ideas?

Oh so it's really a tournament like poker where you pool the money into the tournament and that would be the prize money for the whole tournament! I'm excited already! Please make some thread for it somewhere that would officially announce it! Let's see if we can make some teams over here. Probably what's nice is a random group so everybody who doesn't have buddies to play with can form a group.

I really interested with dota bjtcoin, unfortunately it's dota2 steam

[bamboylee]

This is a good idea. Do you think many will still play DOTA 1 or is it better to host a game in DOTA 2. I do not want to play dota 1 and hear people saying MAPHACK. I'll follow this thread and see if this can push thru. Maybe I'll just watch the games if this push through.

[cashintor1]

Yes exactly a tournament!

Where is the best place to announce it?

I guess the teams will be full with 5 strangers or friends from this forum

It will be DotA 1 AllStars Classic for starters and I should prepare the servers soon if there are players around here hehe

Just my concern:

How's will the players connect? I mean thru Battlenet, Garena client or something like that? Do you have a unique server? :O Most of the Dota1 hosting is not compatible with other internet service provider that's why other platform such as Garena have unique room for it. How about Rank Gaming Client? It still working up to today?

I think this thread is not appropriate here, maybe at Gambling Discussion or Gambling section. Im a Dota1 enthusiast and one of my favorite hobbies back in my "happy" days. Bring it on! Count me in.

Used to love dota. I started a thread a while ago about selling some items for Bitcoins, but nobody was interested in. Also, this could possibly be moved to the Other section? I don't know, just seems like videogames

are a pretty popular topic in there. Maybe you will get more responses in there.

[avatar_kiyoshi]

Wow finally someone aware about such ideas! I will be join, I like dota, will invite my friends to join on the tournament too.

Firstly, it's should be in service announcement, I'm not really sure if it's count as gambling, because basically it's mandatory required skill to play not such bet on the house and luck to decided.
Second, how people can connect each other? You have a server? It's stable?
Third, the money hold in pot, so it's need 3rd party as escrow and mandatory person who have a good name in this forum.
Fourth, how the tournament works?

Yeah, I used to use garena for my DOTA1 games back then. Though I think this is only for South Easy Asian countries that means we'll be limiting the number of people that can join the tournament. I'm not very sure what's the best alternative. Probably hamachi? We'll let's have the organizers think about it. But truly, we are all excited!

Only problem I see with this is the absence of any kind of trustworthy ranking system. We used to have LAN sessions back in the day, and we had 2 semi-professionals playing against us. They wiped the floor with the competition and they always took the money pot.

The other people stopped playing, because they had no chance of winning any of the games. How will you match up players based on their skill levels to make this fair?  ^hmmmmmm^

[dotajhay]

I would like to join but it is dota 1 if there is a dota 2 online tournament that pays bitcoin? I very very love playing dota 2 im playing it already 7 years and now im very addicted to it many people says you can't earn money from dota but look other pro players earning million million dollars by just playing and enjoy in tournaments.

[cashintor1]

Well the teams could be random so pros could be in one team with newbies hence it will be provably fair as much. Although life is not fair anyways hehe. It will be more for fun than a work or million dollar prizes at least at the beginning. After that if all is fine it could be developed with a ranking system but this might be useless in terms of randomness...

What do you guys think or prefer?

I guess i just have to launch it and see as we are like two teams here already hehe

[AppleBTC]

So how does the team form up? is it team randomly or the players need to find a team by themselves?

[Sadlife]

Oh i thought this is dota 2. It seems that many players are still playing dota 1 will not a surprise though this is the 1st game that the world was addicted
