Dota Fantasy League - Play Dota without having to play Dota! - Games

No idea) on a budget of $10 million. Players are worth different amounts based on their rankings (Ex: Dendi is $2,000,000 and PGG is $400,000). Then you get points based on the players' performance, which are measured by K/D/A ratio and gold per minute. The teams are also limited in that you can only pick a max of 2 players from one team, and 2 players from each position. For those of you that don't know, positions refer to farming priority on a scale of 1 to 5. 1 would be the hard carry and 5 would be the hard support. Currently this is setup for The International 2 and it only has teams that are going. So no, you can't draft mouz players yet.

Well. This could be fun.

NEVER.

Here's my team [url]http://fantasy.dota-academy.com/TeamInfo/788[/url] Keeps changing but I think this is the final roster Not many big names but everyone has a pretty good cost/stat ratio

I read about this when it was on another site and I still don't understand.

[QUOTE=l l;37184768]I read about this when it was on another site and I still don't understand.[/QUOTE] What about it do you not get? The FAQ seems to explain it pretty well

This is actually really cool.

Not sure what this is

[QUOTE=l l;37184768]I read about this when it was on another site and I still don't understand.[/QUOTE] I don't think there really is much to understand, you just pick players and hope they do well

[QUOTE=titopei;37187147]I don't think there really is much to understand, you just pick players and hope they do well[/QUOTE] So, it's pretty much like betting?

it's basically fantasy football but dota what's hard to understand?

Some fake test matches are starting today [quote]Hey guys! First of all let me thank you very very much for all the support! We've been receiving LOTS of emails with feedback, ideas and corrections and we've spent the last few days adding many many cool features! (Check the news so that I don't flood reddit with the info!). The Fantasy League has already 4700 teams by the time I'm writing this and it's pretty certain we'll get over 5000 by the time of The International! This is awesome!! This is all thanks to you, sounds horribly cliched, but without you, it'd be me and my 5 friends playing against each other and it wouldn't be nowhere as fun. I can't express enough how happy we are about this, and now we're determined to give you the best possible experience! You made this possible! You're awesome! You could get Rampages with a Support Vengeful Spirit! =D Finally, the good stuff! Remember when I told you about the possibility of a test run before the actual International? Well, it's here, and it starts TODAY! This is the schedule: Aug. 14, 2012 - Natus Vincere vs. mTw Aug. 14, 2012 - CLG vs. coL Aug. 14, 2012 - Orange Esports vs. EHOME Aug. 14, 2012 - Zenith vs. DK Aug. 15, 2012 - TongFu vs. LGD Aug. 15, 2012 - CLG vs. M5.Benq Aug. 15, 2012 - absolute Legends vs. EG Aug. 15, 2012 - EHOME vs. DK Aug. 16, 2012 - DARER vs. EG Aug. 16, 2012 - iG vs. MUFC Aug. 16, 2012 - Natus Vincere vs. DARER Aug. 16, 2012 - mTw vs. coL Aug. 17, 2012 - TongFu vs. iG Aug. 17, 2012 - LGD vs. MUFC Aug. 17, 2012 - M5.Benq vs. absolute Legends Aug. 17, 2012 - Orange Esports vs. Zenith The matches will all be "Played" at 18EST (ie 00CEST). It will probably be really late for many, but it doesn't really matter, as the matches will be FAKE matches. It's not the teams playing but rather we'll grab old matches where those teams played, and load them as if they had just played them. Also that way, we give chance for everyone to fully finish their preparations and change their mind last minute! You'll get the points based on the players performances just as if this were the real thing, but don't get too excited. POINTS WILL BE RESET BACK TO 0 after the weekend, so that everyone gets a clean start for TI2. This also mean that exactly AFTER the first match, players will sell for 80% of their original price So make up your mind quickly! It's important to mention that as these are OLD matches (all of them less than 2 months old though), you shouldn't take this into account as the current form of the players, so if you see someone performing amazingly well or terrible, well, it means nothing at all! We're just testing this time. Whoever wins this mock league though, will go to our Trophy Page (currently being developed) as the First Fantasy League winner and will stay there FOREVER. So while there are no prizes this time, glory is yours to take!! Speaking of prizes, For The International 2? We WILL have prizes. We'll announce them later during the week though, so stay tuned! Once again, thanks for making this happen, you're wonderful, and I hope you stay tuned, there will DEFINITELY be new features before TI2! Best regards! Bruno[/quote]

Is the site working for anyone? It doesn't load for me.

I seriously still don't get the point. Can someone explain it to me ?

[QUOTE=Maruhai;37438452]I seriously still don't get the point. Can someone explain it to me ?[/QUOTE] There's no real true point to it, I just do it because it's pretty fun to pick players and follow stats. Even though it isn't comparable to real fantasy sports, I like managing things like this.

Is it safe ? :o
