I originally said I would like to be a captain, but some unfortunate life event with a close family member is going to make me unreliable to captain. I still want to participate but I will not be able to put in the time and effort to be a captain this time.

So, it looks like we will have 16+ teams (Looks like it will be 18-20, unless we have a bunch of no shows), are we making any changes to the format? Maybe from 1 BO2 to 2 Bo1s? Groups? The format in the OP doesn't really have enough time for that many teams.

It was suggested before but maybe its possible to split it to EU and NA divisions if there is enough for both sides. it will solve any ping concerns.

We're not going to have 18-20 teams. We only have as many teams as we have captains, which right now... is about ~13-14, provided nobody no shows. My goal was for 16 captains, two divisions of 8 where every team plays every other team in their division one time. Top 6 in each division advance, and top 2 get first round byes. 12 is about the bare minimum number of captains that I'd like, but again, that's out of my control.

So we need more captains! Sign up as captain or amend your initial "N" by posting here, otherwise, a lot of people are going to go undrafted and there's really nothing we can do about it. Step up! Your IHL needs you lol!

Think people are confused since there appear to be some 16 captains in the spreadsheet, and yet you're asking for multiple additional captains.

Some have dropped out, that's been updated on our private captain doc but I think it has yet to be updated on the spreadsheet.

edit: just updated the spreadsheet, so it should show the correct number of captains now. We're down to 13 now, 3 short of our goal. Please consider captaining, anyone! You get to control your team and the hero drafts (or choose to delegate the latter) :), I know some of you always spam that captain in the inhouses...

Well, that was a terrible showing last night. I got incredibly frustrated and let it show a little too much. Finally trying to switch item keys from Z through N up to the number keys and swap unit control down to where items were. I have never played offlane tide and with the moving around of my keys I had asked to play the #5. Still shouldnt have let myself get that frustrated.

You're all good. That game was frustrating in a lot of ways.

Just dropping by to say I really appreciate the effort you guys are putting into this. I still reminisce about HoN-GAF every now and then, GAF really has the potential for a great DOTA scene and events like this go a long way towards fulfilling said potential. I'm happy to see the inhouses and appropriate flaming kicking off!

I'm not gonna join in myself, since I've been pretty much inactive ever since ranked matchmaking came in, only dropping by to lose a rust game or two and take my rating down once every couple months.

This league though, will be interesting to follow! Maybe if I find some spark in dorto again, I can co-cast a game or two at some point? Maybe not.

Best of luck to everyone attending~!

Updated the captain rules with this tidbit, maybe this will interest a few of you:

If you would like to captain and know that you cannot make the draft date, you can notify us ahead of time and provide us with a draft board (5 potential picks per round, 8 rounds). An admin will then draft for you based on your draft board. If every player on your draft board is gone in a particular round, said appointed admin will make a judgement call, and draft you who they think is best and available (or who they think fits your team best).
Click to expand...

So if you wanted to captain and previously dropped out because of the draft date/time or just never signed up because you weren't sure you could make the actual draft, there's hope. Let me know if this works for you and you want to captain.

We are up to date at this point. PM if you see any issues, if I forgot you, or you want to become a captain.

Signups close tomorrow, but you can still change your mind or get MMR by completing your calibration matches.

Ill be on Dota/Steam much later tonight, and do another batch of Guild/Group invites.

Remember you can only be in 4 Guilds, please look how many Guilds you are in under the Community tab in the Dota 2 client.

I dont mind being a captain, I have enough free time for the extra work it takes, but I havent been drafting since 6.81. I'm not at all comfortable drafting right now.

Just a reminder to everyone:
A VALID AND UP TO DATE DOTABUFF/STEAM-PROFILE LINK IS MANDATORY FOR PLAYING IN IHL2. If your dotabuff profile does not show, make sure you go into your dota in game options and check "Expose Public Match Data." Your dotabuff should then update after playing a game. Also, your steam profile must be PUBLIC (aka viewable). These two are required to prevent smurfing/abuse.
Click to expand...

After signups close, we'll be going through and checking everyone's steam/dotabuff profile, making sure they are both public and that they both match (i.e. if I input your steam profile link into dotabuff, the profile you reported is the one that shows up). Anyone that doesn't meet the above criteria will have their signup marked in red and will be contacted; if they are unresponsive or don't update their profile, they will be removed a few days prior to the draft.

Run your drafts like me, just have your entire team have input/argue during the draft. And let the infighting start early. What could go wrong.

I've put you down as a captain :). Anyone that has expressed interest recently has been marked in green (aka tentative captain) and added to friends. if I've missed you for whatever reason, let me know.
