First Blood Gaming In-House DotA 1 League

Hello all,

With the recent news of ENT shutting down, I think it's important we as a community continue to find ways to play and enjoy our games. We've seen that Blizzard does not support 3rd party hosting services like they used to which creates a large challenge when running a successful league. Other DotA platforms exists but they run on old patches that could be removed by Blizzard and cannot take advantage of system improvements/new features when Reforged drops.

Fortunately, our admin team has been working hard to keep DotA 1 alive on battle.net through the First Blood Gaming DotA 1 League. Using battle.net allows us to stay on the legal side of things with Blizzard as well enjoy the Reforged benefits. We believe our systems that track stats, queue for games and moderate will not be broken as they run primarily through discord with active devs. Our goal is to bring higher quality games to the masses and continue the competitive side of DotA on Reforged. Experienced players and enforced rules generally lead to a better DotA experience.

Those that already have CD keys or are willing to purchase them can join us on Discord if they are interested in joining the FBG League. We have played over 400 games with more than 100 unique members over the past ~2 months. Several hundred USD will be rewarded to the top players and additionally for tournaments in the near future.

Just wanted to add, that while yes we are primarily known for and invested in our competitive league, we do also have a very large group of players who just like to play fun and skilled pub games. If you think you would like the challenge and to improve as a dota player we welcome you into our ranks. And we will be happy to help train or work with newer or less experienced players to try and get them up to speed for the more competitive league games.

Either way, we are a fun, growing league and do not be afraid to join our discord and get to know us better. Thanks again.

Just a note,

We are continuing to build out new features for our bots and willing to share them with other communities if they so desire. Contact me on Discord.

The goal is to bring the player base to Reforged so the game remains alive and sustainable.

Currently, the DotA system is all set up.

LTD support will be added within the week and be ready for the community to transfer over - at least if everything goes according to plan.
