I'm looking to get into Dota 2. I would like to have a consistent group of people to play with. If you know anything about Dota and want to help me get into it, that'd be great. If you know nothing about Dota 2 and are looking for a group to play with like me, that'd also be great. Please post in this thread instead of sending me a personal message if you're interested so that everyone who is interested knows who else is willing to give up their personal lives, strap on their wrist braces, and start feeding. Thank you.

@slag: thanks, brah

I'd be willing to help you out if you really wanted, I have over 700 games and I'd like to think I know something but I probably don't, regardless, I hope you have fun, it's a rough ride.

1. Get a microphone if you don't have one. Being able to ask questions and get immediate feedback will help get you up to speed quickly.

2. Watch these videos, it's the best introductory series I've been able to find: DotA Academy

Feel free to add me to Steam, I can help coach if you need: http://steamcommunity.com/id/chiablo
