Add a "he doesnt speak the language he chose" report option

Posted: 01 Feb 2018 10:37 AM PST

As a southamerican, people here are mentally unstable as fuck, they will still choose english (but only speak spanish) just to find games quicker. If you want the language matchmaking to be effective, add a report related to that. I dont know how the language matchmaking works exactly but if it works like this: "if you choose english, you will only play with others that choose english too" then the report option is a MUST. But if it works like this: "you will play with others who choose english too, but if there is none left, then others will join" then i don't know. There must be an option for that.

The EU Inhouse League is back with Season 4! Now with prize pool and divisions! 1700+ Members

Posted: 01 Feb 2018 09:03 AM PST

EU Inhouse League Season 4

tl;dr

Biggest inhouse league on FaceIt with 1700+ members starting season 4 now!

  • 2 Divisions, Normal and Pro, cutoff at Legend[4].
  • Prize pool in FaceIt points for both divisions, buy Dota merchandise and gaming gear with it!
  • Friendly and active community on Discord, run by a team with multiple years of experience in amateur Dota.
  • Regular casts of your inhouse games by our caster team, streamed to Twitch.

Normal Division: Click Pro Division: Click Discord: Click

Why?

We believe there's more to Dota than just pubs. Everyone who's played in an organised team before knows how different and more enjoyable each match becomes. Inhouse leagues are a middle ground between the two, pubs and team games. You get the benefit of playing with people you can communicate with, people who, like you, enjoy playing more organised Dota. At the same time you are able to play whenever you want to by just queuing up. On top of all that, you can compare your skill on the leaderboards and, if you climb to the top, win cool prizes!

How Do I Join?

  1. Create an account on FaceIt
  2. Join the division suited for your skill level
  3. Join us on Discord
  4. Queue up! Simply click the Play button on the top right of the inhouse page.

If you're unable to join the Pro League, but should be qualified, go here to learn about syncing your Dota account to FaceIt.

Who Are You?

We're the team behind the EU DotA Cup, from all over Europe. Passionate about Dota and esports, we want to help growing the amateur scene and provide players with a reliable community to organise enjoyable tournaments and leagues. If you want to know more about us or the weekly (Battle-)cup we're running additionally to the inhouse league check out our website: https://dotacup.eu/

Should you have any questions or need help feel free to message any admin on Discord or leave a comment here.

We're looking forward to playing some games with you!

BeNe Dota inhouse league season 5 starts today with more prizes, for all belgian and dutch players!

Posted: 01 Feb 2018 09:40 AM PST

FAO all players in Belgium and The Netherlands: I would like to promote our FaceIt Inhouse League!

Since a few months, we've been running the BeNeDota Inhouse League. It is an inhouse ladder system with monthly seasons.

The system is fairly simple: you can join the inhouse if you live in our region or have the Belgian or Dutch nationality.

Once you are a member, you can queue for an inhouse game at any time of the day. You are always able to see how many people are online in the Inhouse League and how many are queueing. When 10 people have joined the queue, they will play a Captain's Mode Lobby game. Captains are appointed based on their ranking in the current season. The captains pick their players and FaceIt will invite you into the lobby.

After the game, FaceIt will know which team won and update the leaderboard. This leaderboard resets every month. Points gained and lost are based on the ranking of you, your teammates and your opponents.

There are 2 divisions available at this time.

  • Division 1 (for players with rank 5-10)

  • Division 2 (for players with rank 1-5)

The monthly winner is rewarded with a special victor colour on our discord server ( https://discord.gg/MnBrSQb ) and bragging rights :) The top 5 players also gain faceit points. link

There are a few unwritten rules:

  • When you play our inhouse league you must have a working mic and be in our discord server.

  • language is mainly Dutch (90-95% Dutch speaking players), but of course you can ask if people want to speak English as well. There are 3 languages in Belgium and a lot of expats living in our region so English should not be a problem.

If you are interested to join, click this link:

If you don't know BeNeDota ( https://benedota.com/ ) :

BeNeDota was created by a group of Dota2 players who are building a community in Belgium & the Netherlands. Our activities include:

  • organising tournaments & leagues for our community members: Kayzr Player Draft, FaceIt Inhouse League, ...

  • organising offline events: seminars, pubstomps, group travel to Dota2 LAN events, ...

  • gathering and distributing information on events like Open Qualifiers, LAN parties and other events in our website calendar and discord server

  • We also provide stats on the Dutch Dota Championships (a Dutch competition that is broadcast live on TV and Twitch, with teams playing eachother offline)

Hope to see you soon!
