First blood- the term used when a team first makes a hero kill and it was also our team name for the tourney. Luckily every game we played in, we managed to get first blood. It was as consistant as me losing every single coin toss in which I called 'heads' three times and it perpetually landed on tails!!! So much for 50-50 lol.

Over fri and sat, I lead a team of players in a DotA competition . This was the first time any of them played competitive DotA. I guess, they did a fantastic job for first timers because we actually made *cough* 4th place.

Bahhhh. Sad. I played so well through out the tourney too. Team mate's girlfriend who was outside watching the match with the rest of the referees and spectators said that they had the screen focused on my hero and clapped when I made a kill. lol!

If only had one or two more experienced players, we would have made it to the finals. In any case, I was happy overall. I made many new friends, was honored as players watched on but more importantly I kept really calm even when my team mates did silly things. I know in the past I would get so frustrated and start scolding or God forbid...swearing but it definitely wasn't the case. Anyway, it was a fantastic experience for us and hopefully we'd be better prepared for future games. I also will have replays if anyone is interested. GJ guys. GG =)
