After our streak of 6 wins, we had to face our next opponent, iCCup! The name sounded familiar to us... too familiar. While researching the team we found out why we knew the name: iCCup belongs to the professional DotA2 teams and even has the opportunity to win the qualification of the International 3 and participate in the tournament. (worlds biggest DotA2 tournament with prices over a million $)
As expected they showed us our place in the match, but we still felt victorious, because we were allowed to face one of the top DotA2 teams.
Despite of the loss, our DotA2 team advanced to the ESL-Premier League and reached the highest ESL-league possible. I want to thank 3D-Gaming in the name of the DotA2 team for the support. Without you we wouldn't have been able to advance.
In addition to the gaming news, there are some changes in the team itself. We decided to improve our training and changed our appointments from Wednesday 19-21:30 and Sunday 15-21:30 to:
Monday: 19-21:30
Wednesday: 19-21:30
Thursday: 19-21:30
Sunday: 18-21:30
With this change we can expand our training duration by 2 hours and increase the regularity. Additionally to our training appointments, we'll participate in several leagues and cups.
Also we had to seperate us from our former teammember Freez, because of different reasons. I whish Freez much luck and success in his future carrier.
With that decision the slot of our stand-in is free again, but we already negotiated with a former teammember, who had to quit out of a lack of time.
What are our plans for the future?
We signed in for Starladder, which is the biggest DotA2-league, so we'll focus on this event most. The qualification begins on May 12 and we hope for much mental support through our stream!
For the ESL we decided to stay in the Premier-League and improve our ranking.
Starting in June I'll start to search for an amateur-DotA2-team. Everyone who is interested in joining this team or who knows someone who could be interested in joining can conact me in the forum our with a message on our homepage. I'll answer your request as soon as possible.
Following things are needed for the amateur-team:
- activity and periodic training
- monthly meeting of the captain with me and eventually the admins
- a fitting level of manners, some flaming is allowed (since everyone does it in DotA2), but there shouldn't appear complains about single teammembers!
- fun and the wish to improve in DotA2
- if a certain skilllevel is reached, the ability to help out the professional team (not needed but nice to have

)
What do I offer?
- a nice clan-atmosphere with many different games
- a raidcall group with own channels
- a cooperative professional-team when it comes to question and public-games
- every advantage you get through the clan 3D-Gaming (detail in a personal talk)
I wish everyone who read the text-wall to the end a lot of fun while playing! (of course the rest too

)
Greetings, Genwall
Edit: The Starladder qualification got postponed to the 15.05.
