Ah, round 3 is now completely done. And only 2 teams didn't submit any results at all! What an improvement.

Now that thing I was hinting about:

In round 4 two division 1 clans are facing off, RedSky Gaming and diamondZ e.V . We though this would be a good opportunity to start the first GGTV Broadcast + Shoutcast report by our very own Domi. The match will be held sometime sunday. I'll update you saturday or sunday morning.

Good luck in round 4 and don't forget to play your games before monday 23/6. So Sunday 22/6 at the latest. So you can't play Monday! Got it?!

• 
  Info about the match:
  
  We will start around 19.00 LT (League Time), the shoutcast link will be posted on the main page.
  The match will be streamed live on GGTV.

The end of round 3 is coming closer, lots of teams have allready posted their results but there are still a lot of open spots on the grid. This is mostly because some results have been denied. Please check the grid to make sure your result has been accepted. If this is not the case look why and post in the Clarification thread ASAP!

The result thread will be closed tomorrow morning so post your results tonight please.

We might have a little surprise for you soon, I'll let you know when/if I have more information.

Good luck to those still playing tonight!

Hey guys,

Round 2 is allmost over, we're still waiting for a few results, please deliver them asap.
A few results have been denied, please correct them asap so the grid will be clear.

I would also like to remind you to give us the results in the proper format, many teams still forgot to write their full clannames and/or add endgame screenshots. Without this information our job becomes a lot more tedious so the next round we will deny all the incomplete results.

The next default date is Wednesday 18/6. Note that in the first 2 rounds we have been a little lenient and allowed results to come in late, this will not be tolerated from now on. Any results we get on Thursday 19/6 will be discarded. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Good luck!

Hey everyone,

As you may allready know this weekend is the start of the famous DreamHack LAN. Of course there is also going to be a DotA tournament. Since there will be teams attending this tournament we feel it's necessary to change our round times so everyone who goes to DreamHack can still continue in Dota Masters 9. The new times are listed below, rounds 3,4 and 5 have changed.

The DM9 clarifications thread is now closed! This mean that the last scratches of round 1 is now over and we look forward to round 2, good luck all teams!

Round 1 is over! Congratulations to the winning teams.

The result thread is now closed, no more results can be submitted. Please check your team on the grid to see if you have been properly processed.
If you don't see your team in the next round yet check the result thread to see if your result has been denied. If this is the case write a reply in the clarification thread.

The default date for round 2 is Wednesday 11/6 at 2000 CET.

Remember to play your match before the end of Wednesday 11/6 !

If you have any questions contact a tournament admin in #dota-masters on IRC.

Hey there,

TasteMeAcc has offered to make his Neutral Hosting Project available for DM9.

You will find some neutral hosts from Denmark, Sweden and Germany in the DM9 IRC Channel #dota-masters that may also be good Garena/GGC hosts for outside Europe. You can recognize them by the + before their nickname (voice status).

If they cannot help you out, e.g. they already host another game, simply ask in the channel if somebody else can help you or ask an admin if its really necessary.

Hello guys,

after many questions we added two new rules and changed the DC rule a bit:

The grid for the DotA Masters 9 is finally available in the Grid section. In the grid you can always check against who you have to play as next. To find your team in it just use the search function of your Internet-Browser. (ctrl. + f)

Furthermore we would like to remind you all that the first game should be played until the 8th June so you should hurry up with the scheduling for it. The default match time is Sunday at 17:00 CET.

Best regards,
Your Dota-Masters Team

Hey participants,

here are the round dates for Dota Masters 9:

Exactly one year has passed since the Dota-League held a 5 vs 5 tournament and throughout that time our urge to give a tournament to our community was very high.

Working on the site, improving SIG and making future plans put a little break into our tournament schedules. But we will strike back and put all our strength together to have the largest Dota Masters yet.

And now that we have prepared everything properly, we can boost DL to tournament heaven in 2008!

The sign-up is officially open. Any team which is registered at DL can sign up below. If you do not have a team yet, feel free to register on our website and then go to this sign-up page.

Also Dota Masters 9 will be the official qualifier for a high-class tournament series which we will hold after DM9. One of 16 team-slots will be available to be won as well as the prizes by SteelSeries. 16 further teams will be invited.

Now all you have to do is click on the sign-up button below and prepare yourself and your team for the final start on June 6th, 2008.
