"Steady forward!", ordered Marko Ramius, the captain of the submarine in Tom Clancy's best selling book "The Hunt for Red October". He intended to reach his desired destination without focusing on speed alone; stability was the most important aspect.
Over time GosuGamers has gradually adopted his "Steady forward" policy and implemented it. We may lack a hi tech nuclear submarine but the phrase is as valid for how we manage our large community vessel.
When GosuGamers first launched, under the original name StarCraft Gamers, we covered the original StarCraft version. The Expansion pack, Brood War, had been released for sometime. Eventually we adopted the expansion pack, but it took time. We wanted to stick to the roots. The WarCraft 3 section was added several years after the game had been released.
Today both these sections have expanded and evolved and are here to stay. We have also, slowly but surely, started aiming in the direction of a dedicated DotA section. We feel it is now time, long after IceFrog and the others first started out playing with map triggers, to open a brand new DotA section.
For those of you who have not been members of our community for long might not know that it took some time and effort to get here. We have a long history of organizing events, everything from minor LANs and online leagues to major events such as DreamHack, World Cyber Games and BlizzCon. We've been doing coverage from events in San Francisco, Singapore, Italy, Stockholm, Cologne and many other places. Even though our DotA section has only recently been born; our years of experience in event organising will immediately enter the DotA community.
After years of focus on Starcraft and Warcraft, we are established and stable within both communities; it is now time for us to enter the game of DotA. We aim to provide the best eSports coverage for this great game. We plan to help establish the community of this ever popular strategy game. We hope for all this while maintain our famous focus on the key areas of sportsmanship, fair-play and respect will be welcomed by the DotA community.
Practically that will mean hosting DotA tournaments at DreamHack, providing coverage of the best DotA leagues, interviews with the top players, DotA t-shirts, posting great replays, opening our GosuBet section for the DotA majority and many other things.
You are the community. By posting high quality posts in the forums, acting mannered to new comers, uploading the best replays, giving news tips, updating the wiki with lots of information and playing in the events we organize you will help the GosuGamer DotA community grow. This new section of GosuGamers will never work unless you join it, tell your friends to do the same and help us create the main source for DotA on the Internet.
A warm welcome!
