La septième édition de la ligue DotA2.fr ouvre ses portes ! Depuis deux ans, le site francophone organise ainsi une compétition ouverte à toutes les équipes amatrices, trois fois par an. La ligue est découpée en différentes divisions, ce qui permet à tout le monde de tenter sa chance !

Cette année, les inscriptions auront lieu jusqu’au 18 janvier, et seront éventuellement prolongées jusqu’au 25. Les équipes d’une même division devront organiser des rencontres régulières, à raison d’un match par semaine. Chaque rencontre se fait en BO2, et les équipes remportent des points selon leurs victoires. À la fin de la saison, le gagnant d’une division est celui qui a le plus de points !

Pour le moment, déjà 27 équipes sont inscrites, et seront réparties dans 5 divisions. Si vous êtes 5 ou plus, n’hésitez pas à vous inscrire ! Pour l’heure, on ne sait pas encore si quelqu’un commentera les meilleurs matchs. Cependant, lorsque le calendrier des rencontres sera fixé, il sera sûrement possible de les regarder dans le jeu lui-même, via la fonctionnalité « spectateur ».

Kwa reprend sur les chapeaux de roues puisque, le 8 janvier, ils tombaient Ko’Ragh en Mythique, puis, le 9 janvier le Boucher en Mythique. Jolie performance avec des jolis screens à la clé !

Et un super POV de Eldé, le DK Sang :

Courage les gars pour l’ Imperator en Mythique !
