A VALID AND UP TO DATE DOTABUFF/STEAM-PROFILE LINK IS MANDATORY FOR PLAYING IN IHL2. If your dotabuff profile does not show, make sure you go into your dota in game options and check "Expose Public Match Data." Your dotabuff should then update after playing a game. Also, your steam profile must be PUBLIC (aka viewable). These two are required to prevent smurfing/abuse.

If you would like to cast IHL games, feel free to post in this thread and let me know. I'll put your username and stream in the tentative list. When the official season begins, make sure you put a 2 minute delay on your stream. Players participating in ihl can cast the games of other teams (NOT THEIR OWN TEAM) provided that both teams agree.
Anbokr and TUSR are the head admins; feel free to add us on steam and shoot any questions our way. tSWIFTx`, Sanjay (EU), legendary+procarbine (Procarbine on gaf), Ellen Pudge (‘artanisix’ on gaf), and Demoli (EU) can answer some questions and have ticketing powers for official games. Feel free to add us on steam (or PM us on GAF) if you have any questions, have any issues, or want to validate match times/submit scoreboards.
