Relax, nothing's ending yet. A lot of players getting burned out from the same picks over and over, some getting salty from losing mass games, others from self-perceived "swindles," and some finding the new-ness wearing off. Also it's a weekday, people are a lot more active on weekends. I wish Captain's Draft (as opposed to CM) was in the game already, but other than that just take it easy. Might do what Anbokr posted and schedule some games here and there.

![]() Hey people. Don't fear, IHL is marching on. I had a few very busy days and was just too lazy to update the sheet, looks like the rest of the admins similar circumstances. Never fear though, everything is nice and updated now, and we're back on course. See you all on the battlefield. Also, there have been reports that the right side of the sheet isn't sorting properly for people. It's fine on my screen, but if it's wrong on yours, let me know so we can try to fix this. babychewbacca69 on steam, what's your gaf name? I recognize your av but I'm too lay to look for it. Also also, http://www.twitch.tv/procarbine is live with IHL test stream. Lirlond and freakinchair doing a casual cast.

All we need to do is utilize the announcement feature in the IHL Steam group. Not everyone is monitoring the thread or has the game running, but many leave Steam running while doing everything else. Simple.

NEVER QUOTE SCOREBOARDS PLEASE.
Please edit those posts ASAP, it's a huge headache for us keeping track. Just take the / out of the second img tag. Edit: BigAT, it's not as if we just have our friends sit down on one team and new people on the other. Thor and I drafted from the same pool of players, and this is what came out. As trasher said, it's hard to balance well when you don't know how good people are, and even then you leave it to the captains to balance the game via their picks. Once we get a good sense for skill levels, good players won't get slept on and new guys won't be put in awkward positions. The system isn't perfect and not everyone gets to play as much as they want to, but we make a strong effort to work in the new guys. The rule in player drafting is that those that haven't played must be chosen first for the next game, which will eventually get everybody in. And also, it's dota, stomps happen to everyone sometimes.

I really hate it when people condense games down to simply players. Yes, player skill definitely has an impact. But this is dota. There are one sided competitive games, tmm games, newb games, whatever games. There are hundreds of factors that go into every game: item choice, hero draft, lanes, matchups, misplays, wards, hell even LUCK.
EDIT: also if you really want to play in ihl but never know when it's going on, just add procarbine, anbokr, milkman, or any of the frequenters in this thread to steam friends and we'll let you know. We usually announce to friends, to the gaf channel, and to mumble.

And thanks for those edits, cheers. EDIT: Just ran my last game, and the ELO average was actually in favor of the dire there.
