V.I.P Memberships! by Admin

Although it seems that it was just yesterday that we have opened this site, some time has already passed, and we are proud to announce yet another big news.

Today, we will be launching a bunch of special features to improve your life here at DotA Manager if you attain a special VIP membership account. However, note that nothing will change if you do not wish to take up these features.

We are currently offering two types of memberships, depending on how much you would like to achieve with the game. While the Silver Membership gives you a handful of features, the Gold Membership offers all existing features in DotA Manager. In fact, you can also choose how long you want this membership, so its entirely up to you!
Some of these features are a new friendlist, create more than one player, a higher turns limit, or the chance to remove advertisements from the website. To check all the existing and upcoming features click here.
You should also be reminded that the game is still in its development process which includes adding more features as well as improving the existing ones. We are currently working on the game simulator, with new strategy options to be added. The game will also be more realistic in time to come, with new functions like the equipment shop or game reports.

Nonetheless, we are a step closer to the final version of DotA Manager everyday, much credited to all the support and feedback given by you.
Stay tuned!

MYM welcomes XLBET as new main sponsor by Admin

Meet Your Makers (MYM) has just signed on a new sponsor and partner, which is no one else than the world’s first eSports betting company, XLBet, who offers fixed odds on eSports matches. XLBET, which besides eSports betting, also acts as a normal bookmaker on regular sports, events and feature a casino, will also soon be opening a poker room. XLBet will with today’s announcement be the official main sponsor of Meet Your Makers (MYM) and its teams.

As DotA Manager is a sistersite to MYM and a part of the Regroup Esports-network, we will also see some changes here. Firstly there will be a Betting-forum where you can ask about anything from specific odds to game analysis and more. Secondly we are offering our users a signup bonus on XLBet.com, and thirdly you will see some XLBet-banners around on the site.


Mark Peter Fries, COO in MYM says:

The partner and sponsorship deal with XLBET has been on the drawing board for quite some time now and has from the beginning been a very interesting project for both parties. eSports betting in various shapes and especially poker are something a lot of gamers already spend a great amount of time on and therefore a very interesting area for us as a professional gaming team to enter. XLBET will support MYM financially and the deal also contains a lot of very interesting projects and events between the two parties. As of today you will for instance be able an editorial piece “Pick of the day” every day on mymym.com, some made by our chief editor and some by our star players like Neo and Grubby. Get inspired via articles how to place your bet(s), see XLBET odds in our match ticker, debate in the myMYM XLBET forum and or participate in some of the upcoming XLBET tournaments and cups. All-in-all a win/win situation for both companies, with great times ahead and I am pleased to welcome them as both a sponsor and partner.


Jacob Nielsen, co-Founder and COO of XLBET says:

We are really excited about the partnership with MYM and we are sure this will turn into a beneficial relationship for the entire E-Sport community. The world will finally realize that E-sport is the future and to be taken serious. The fact that we are accepted by the owners of one of the biggest communities and most respected brands in the business is a huge cadeau for us. Hopefully we can live up to the expectations and satisfy all E-Sports punters demands of various matches and events, but we are aware, that we have to take it step by step, and we hope everybody will respect that in the premature face. What I can guarantee though is that the client’s data and general security regarding money transactions will be top class.

DotA Manager wants you! by Admin

Hello dear DotAmanagers. We know that not much info has been posted from our side, but We are currently working really hard to get the game ready.
During this week a couple of new things will come online and some of the existing ones will be improved.

We have noticed that some players are not receiving as many offers as others and some are getting offers everyday. It will be fixed so everybody will have the same chances. Also those who are already earning their salary will have a way to spend it, as a new shop will be added where all of you can buy equipment for your player, like a new mouse, keyboard and much more. These things will help you in your matches and will make you improve faster with your trainings, which are going to be ready and working next week (probably this week some tests will be made).

Leagues are already made, but we are waiting to have the game engine to simulate the games totally finished before we will let you see the leagues. The leagues will be played from Monday until Friday every week, so you have to prepare for an exciting game almost every day. New tournaments will be added on weekends later. For the leagues and tournaments you will have to choose which heroes you want to ban before each game and also the order that you have in your own heroes will determine which hero you will use.

Finally, we need some help in the DotAmanager forums, to keep an eye on things and help people have their questions answered in the HELP and SUPPORT forums.

Would you like to be a part of DotAmanager? Are you above 16 years and write decent English? Do you have a few hours a day you can spare?
Then apply here in this thread for a volunteer position as a "DM Support Admin".

State the following:

1. Why we should choose you
2. Name
3. Nick name
4. Age
5. Nationality
6. How long did you play DotA?

We will recruit 2-3 admins and the chosen ones will be notified via the forums message system.

Once you have been invited into a team, you and your team mates will compete in exciting matches and tournaments against other teams. But if you want to be successful, it is crucial that you manage your player effectively by carrying out trainings sessions and contracts from your team, and by devising tactics and selecting heroes that you can employ to defeat your opponents.

Are you good enough to reach the top? Can you beat the best of the rest in playing Defense of the Ancients? Sign up for DotA Manager and on our forums now and prove it when the game launches imminantly!

Please note that DotAManager will be launched in a beta version. That means the first season will last only five days and will be used for bug hunting and finalization of the game. Everyone that signs up and is active within that week will automatically get a free VIP membership for the first week and can enjoy all functions and features during that week. A lot of changes will occur as this is a beta version and features might be added or removed along with the general layout of the website and improvements in the game.

You will also have the chance to write to us and suggest which features should be implemented in the game, what we should change, improve, add or remove. Take this unique chance and help to develop a game with us - find us over at the boards at DotAmanager.com and take part in DotA history!
