[[File:Dota.jpg]]<h1> DotA In-House League </h1><h2> What is DIHL </h2>ENT's DotA In-House League (DIHL) is a vouch-based DotA league for skilled players who want to play competitive games with a fair set of rules. <h2> Joining the League </h2>To maintain a competitive, friendly gaming environment, DIHL requires that all players be vouched in order to participate in the league. This means that the league recognizes you (namely, your account) as a skilled, mannered player who deserves to play in the league. To get vouched, please use the following [https://entgaming.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f__FORCETOC__=183&t=112879 format] and post on the forums [http://entgaming.net/forum/posting.php?modeEnterprise Gaming Rules =post&f=183 here]. Seasoned players will respond to your post with whether or not they think you should be vouched. Players with at least 10 DIHL games will be allowed to support your vouch request. Players with at least 100 games (considered ‘DIHL Veterans’) can support your vouch request with more weight (see below).

A new league player, on top of providing the required information on the forum, should hold up to these requirements in order to be officially vouched: <div class="col-md-9">* If you have 1200+ ELO and positive KDR in the public ENT11/ENT38 DotA bots, then you will need support by 1 DIHL Veteran or support from 3 DIHL Players. <div class="panel panel-danger-white-border">* Otherwise, must be supported by at <div class="panel-least 2 DIHL Veterans, or by 5 DIHL Players.heading">* Must have a Discord Account and willing to actively use it for potential DIHL games.: <div class="panel-title">'''Note:Attention''' </div> </div> <div class="panel-body">The vouch may be done informally first in order general rules apply to allow any game hosted by ENT except abrogated by game specific rules.

Once some of the DIHL players logon to bnet and it looks like we may have a chance at filling a game, someone will host a game and then wait for it to fill (feel free to ask other DIHL players if they want to inhouse to get games going if they are not already)entgaming. The person hosting the game is considered the Game Owner, but please be aware that this person might not be a DIHL Mod. The Game Owner '''may not kick, ban, or mute a player'''. If you feel like a Game Owner is abusing his powers, please report that to a DIHL Mod and that particular player may lose rights to host games and could be subject to removal from the league.  <h2> Joining the Game <net/h2>The game name will be posted in Discord (channel #dihl-games)index.After joining the game, if you do not have auto-spoof (using gproxy), then you will need to type the command “/w ent26 sc” to ensure your account name matches your current displayed name (called a spoof check).

Alternatively, if enough players are on, a second DIHL game may be hosted after the current hosted game starts. Players will be given 5 minutes in order to claim their reserved spot, and otherwise will give up their spot to the next player in line. If there are slots remaining still, then players from the losing team are allowed to play. If there are not enough slots for all players from the losing team to play, then they must use the “!roll” command to see who must sit out (lower rolls sit out). If you want to be added to the queue for the next game, please message one of the league veterans. It is highly recommended to check and see how long the current DIHL game has been running to help you decide if you have time to play an apem/arem game or to do something else while you wait/wiki. You can review the list on the ENT games site by checking the ‘Include games in progress’ boxentgaming. If you join a different game or go afk for extended periods of time then you may lose your DIHL queue spot. Since the game mode is Captain’s Draft (CD), we will ask for two volunteers to be captains. If you do not think someone is capable of being captain, then please voice your concern at this time and we will see if there is an alternative captain available or if we can live with the current choices. Note that the winning captain from the prior game has priority on being captain again (as ‘King of the Hill’), but can elect not to captain if so desired. If no one is willing to captain, the Game Owner or a DIHL Mod (if present) will need to assign captains. If this happens, the choices should be done so as to ensure a fair competitive game.  <h3> Player Draft <net/h3>To make teams fair, DIHL employs a player draftindex. * As captain, you will type “!roll” to see who will get to pick a player first (higher roll picks first). * The number of players picked by each captain is in this sequencephp?title=EntGaming: 1DIHLGuide#Rules DotA In-2-2-2-1 (winner of roll picks 1 player, then loser of roll picks 2 players, etc.). House Rules]* If you dodge the game (leave the lobby) because you do not agree with the order of player picks, you are subject to a one-day temporary ban.  <h3> Game Format Overview <[http:/h3>Game format will always be CD mode unless otherwise agreed upon by all players/wiki. In CD mode, each team will have a captain that will pick heroes for the players on their teamentgaming. As such, if you are not a captain, please inform your captain of which heroes you would like to play (name 3 heroes so your captain has options). Note that the captain has the right to give you the hero of his choosing, but will try to accommodate the player requests when it makes sense to do so. For example, if the other team picks counters to the hero you want, then your captain might elect not to give you your hero choice. This is a part of what makes the games competitive, so please respect your captain and do your best to win the game, even if you do not get the hero you want. Since these are competitive games, at the start of every game, 1 player will buy a set of wards and 1 player will buy a chicken. The player who buys the chicken '''must''' share control of the chicken with all teammates. Failure to comply with these orders can drastically affect your team’s early game potential, so please listen to the captain for these assignments or be subject to at minimum a temporary ban and at maximum removal from the league (for not meeting league standards).  <h3> Captaining <net/h3>* As Captain of your team, your responsibility is to ask your team for advice on what heroes should be banned/picked, and what heroes they would like to playindex. Ultimately though, it is the captain’s decision and all players need to respect the choices made by the captain. Only exception is if the Captain is intentionally ruining the game (picking the worst 5 heroes, picking 5 melee carries, etc.).* Arc Warden, Meepo, and Techies are currently auto-banned and do not need to be manually banned during the php?title=EntGaming:HLWRules Hero Pick Phase.Line Wars]* The Captain should assign heroes to players, assign 1 player to buy wards, assign 1 player to buy chicken, and give lane assignments[http://wiki.

For the forum, the general [[php?title=EntGaming:ForumRulesIDRules Island Defense]] 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.* Note that these rules are subject to at minimum a temporary unvouch and at maximum a permanent unvouch depending on the number and extent of the offense. Note that your record of wrongdoings will be cleared at the beginning of each season, except for permanent unvouch(s).  # All players must be able to speak English in order to communicate and coordinate with the team.# You are not allowed to use the !ignore command to someone on your team unless they are excessively breaking these rules.
