Excello!

Arrival of DeejaysHarky!

2009-06-04T15:56:00.004+08:00

The last three months have been a long and rough time for the team. The departure of WeNz to National Service and DabeliuteeF went to Aussie for studies. The remaining team members n|cXh, Zuki and Bboy have been rather unsuccessful in finding suitable players for the team after an unsuccessful try with canonzaii (one of the candidates). But a few days ago, we met someone who suits the team's playstyle: Raymond "DeejaysHarky" Wong Kie Yong.
DeejaysHarky is one of the Malaysians that frequently play at IDEC during his free time. We wish a warm welcome to Raymond and hope you have fun in the team!
In a matter of few days, WeNz will be joining us again for training and competing at the upcoming tournament

Excello.DotA line up :-
Lim "Bboy" Ewe Wei
Nickhlos "-n|cXh-" Ng
Kok "Zuki" Tong Kong
Ooi "WeNz" Woo Boon
Raymond "DeejaysHarky" Wong
Loh "DabeliuteeF" Jun Liong (status : unknown)

Stay tuned for more updates!

2009-06-04T12:11:00.002+08:00

Mouz.Dota and Papadray is back!

2009-02-28T08:39:00.007+08:00

After the breakup of our DotA team in November 2008, it was unclear if DotA has a future in mousesports. Now its clear: mousesports has a new DotA team. Papa Drayich is back and he comes with a new team.
After three month there is a big change in the scene of DotA. Most of the old lineup of mousesports is playing for Kingsurf.International. So Drayich had to build a new team. Today we start again to support a DotA team - thanks Kim "Drayich " Larsson. He, who made a go of the old DotA team, was always a part of mousesports also when he had a time out. So a new team is only possible with him. His goal was to have a team which speaks swedish. He found eight scandinavien player and all speak swedish.

Already next week our team will fight in the tournament FARM 4 FAME which is hosted by the DotA league.

The new lineup of mousesports.DotA is:

Kim "Drayich" Larsson (Captain)
Saman "Penguin" Alilo
Lucas "eXain" Olsson
Daniel "S4nn" Troung
Jens "Jesse" Sjöbäck
Henrik "Pellehenrik" Lauste-Jurvin
Troels "syndereN" Nielsen
Jørgen "XeqtR" Johannessen

What Papadray say about this team!

" Well basicly I had to leave DotA for 3-4 months due to a new job. The job was taking a lot of spirit and time and I needed the rest. For coming back, it is all natural. I enjoy DotA, and this time I wanted to see if we could setup a swedish speaking team. That I already achieved. Results? Im expecting us to have it rough in the beginning, but I do believe that the strength of this team will be the spirit as in any team I ran. And spirit is like xray, it goes through walls. So, in the end we will attempt to do that aswell. The new team consists of some well known players, some half known and some unknown. Players like Jesse and Penguin have been here since the beginning. I remember winning a tournament in Dotapickup sponsored by Seasons_of_mist with Jesse like 4 years ago as an example. eXain and syndereN are players who have a lot of skill developed, but never really been part of good teams. XeqtR was with me before, but he could not play back then due to his life's situation. Pellehendrik is not unknown for swedish players. He is a well balanced player who perhaps just lacks experience from the roughest games. S4nn is the wildcard of this team, he has never played competitive before, but I find him having potencial of reaching far. "

Wish Drayich and Mouz.dota for their upcoming tournaments!

Last week Thursday 4th of December 2008, DNA-SK was up against Fnatic for the champion title. Both team fought well for the champion but DNA-SK came out better and became the champion SKOTH III DotA category. Too bad the replay is not available for the peeps as it was a reloaded game. An endgame screen shot for the proof :D
