DotA In-House League

What is DIHL?

ENT's DotA In-House League (DIHL) is a vouch-based DotA league for skilled players who want to play competitive in-house games with a fair set of rules. Meeting point is the Warcraft 3 channel "Clan DIHL" or "Clan HIGH" on Azeroth/USEast, so you must have an USEast account to be able to play in DIHL. For more information, read here.

Vouch Process

To get vouched, please use the following format and post it here.

Rules

The general EntGaming:Rules apply to the DIHL, unless abrogated by the specific rules below. For the forum, the general EntGaming:ForumRules are to be followed. Violating any rule can result in disciplinary actions including verbal warnings and temporary or permanent bans from DIHL games and/or ENT games.

As a league, our standards and expectations are higher than pub games. We expect players to be strong in both gaming and mind. Therefore, all players should respect their mates and the games they share.

• Bot command abuse: !kick !ban !swap !open !close !mute
• Excessive afk: Afk multiple times or over 5 minutes without warning/approval. If you need to afk for few minutes, pause and let others know before you pardon yourself.
• Pause abuse: do not pause to hinder gameplay
• Excessive and intensive flamming
• Ghosting
• Item destruction: destroy own item(s) or mass needless items
• Throwing/Feeding: no matter the expected outcome, do not give up.
• Fountain Farming: If the other team has given up, end the game without stalling intentionally to farm stats.
• Malicious use of skill on teammate
• Glitch exploit
• Leaving: Do not leave before game has been forfeited, won, or drawn.
• Disconnections: All players in the league must be using gproxy. If a player disconnects within 10 minutes of the game, game should be drawn. Else, a game can be drawn if both captains agree to draw the game.
• Do not use !forcestart
• Observer slots are enabled by default.
• Losers from last game played will have to give-up their sit for the upcoming game if necessary.
• Stats will reset at the end of every season/cycle.
