NON-GAFFERS/LURKERS: Just a note to the lurkers or non-gaffers signing up--if you have not been a part of the GAF community for awhile now (i.e. you've played inhouses with dotagaf for over a year and are part of the community) OR did not play in ihl season 2, you will be relegated to the free agent pool and not be eligible to be drafted. Banned peeps like rerixo don't fret, you've been playing with us for awhile, and I know everyone slips up . Also, if you played in season 2, you're fine.

You should specify the "availability" question across different qualities.

edit: And maybe add datdota/dotbuff esports profiles so captains can see your competitive stats

Advice to any new captains: If you can, pick players who you know will work with you, even if they're not the best players. You'll enjoy the league way more than if you had players who you have to pepper with steam messages to get a response about anything.

Single Elimination?

Don't want to anchor 4 other people to a single game, guess I'll just watch again

 

[leehom]

I signed up, lets roll.

 

[Anbokr]

I do apologize to the euros that want to play; however, last season we just had far too many euros that signed up but couldn't make any game times even though games were scheduled early (for euros), and it just ended up leading to lots of euros who didn't show and then also NA players who couldn't show up to the early times. Hence the whole warning!!! this is more of an NA-centric league thing. We're shooting for a smaller number of teams this time around (8-12) that are ideally much more active/flexible when it comes to game time. Managing 16 teams and 120+ players was tough.

BUT if you are Euro or SEA and can generally make 11am - 3pm PST on Saturdays and Sundays, go ahead and sign up!

Single Elimination?

There are a wide variety of skill levels m8, you won't be anchoring anyone—especially since every team will most likely have 1-2 very low MMR players (and that's fine). I feel like during the whole feedback stream (and based on the survey), the people who didn't like single elim were upset that they had spent 10-12 weeks playing with a team only to be knocked out immediately in the playoffs. I think the much shorter season (6-7 weeks) will make it so single elim is a little more bearable this time around. Besides, it's more fun when the stakes are high imo, make every playoff game count!
