Hey man, check your pm.
Just give it out randomly. Less rage, less bullshit.
There's no way I can see a gaf tourney being successful without stepping on a lot of toes. Knowing GAF, some two teams of random people who rarely post who are DOTA gods will rape everyone and no one will be happy.
happened with L4D (hell I hang out with the crew who used to be L4D GAF), it'll happen here

Guess I'll finally add myself to the list. Was unsure about it at first since I figured only professionals and hardcore fans where in. Only a few hours of HON in(Visual mess was just too hard), and about 1000 hours of LOL. Yeah, I play Janna :O
Might as well get my ass kicked now by the best heh.

Some sort of visible contest seems necessary, at least.

Yeah, after the last two pages it seems that things might turn ugly. :/

Icefrog doesn't want that, I think he is trying to promote the game to not only the hardcore but the new people as well, the skill base contests are like free promotion for dota 2, especially on a huge gaming forum like gaf.Meeru said:You know I think this is kind of why it was a good idea that the previous gaffer gave out keys secretly.

LoLGAF can't deny creeps.
Looks like DotAGAF wins again.
Pfffft. I'd grab the best of LoL GAF and throw them at HoN GAF.
Too bad I'm not in that number, even if I do play serviceable tanks and ranged DPS.

Yea thanks for the list, I have it all updated for the contest thread.Spookie said:
Meeru add me on steam, names ghost.
Still undecided about the skill based contests, trying to set up dota games and having a tournament will take a long time, especially when 600+ are interested in the game.
Hopefully in the future I can get more keys for gaf.

How about the player that has improved the most dramatically in a MOBA game (One for HoN, one for LoL) in the past year?
psssssst, I'm the most improved for LoL
GhostRiddah, great job and thanks for fixing the keys!
Was about to write a reply this morning but had to run to the bus...
It seems that giving out the key randomly is one of the few ways to make it work, obviously there's the risk of people who aren't really that interested getting the key (and I wasn't about too worried about that this morning, but once the thread exploded there's a shit load of people that I've never seen in any DotA 2 topic).
I think we gotta take the risk, and hopefully we get some cool contests as you said too.
edit: of course I mean if that's how it went down, and that's the impression I got when GhostRiddah said that Icefrog had mailed him that someone already got keys for GAF.

I really don't agree with that sentiment at all, I'd go as far as saying that it's outright pathetic, saying that the keys are for gaf to Icefrog and then not even disclose who get them here. Then again I'm not Berlusconi or a DC lobbyist, so it might be BAU.Meeru said:You know I think this is kind of why it was a good idea that the previous gaffer gave out keys secretly.
