CONGRATULATION TO 3 POKEMON 2 SADBOYS

May 19, 2015 - SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 concludes after four long weeks. At first, we had 18 + 6 teams participating in our tournament. Plenty dropped but we didn't stop because we want to see success of our epic series.

On May 17, 3 Pokemon 2 Sadboys showed their worthiness as they rise from the lower bracket up to the Grand Final against Trojan Horse Was a Unicorn. In Game 1, we have invited Xyclopz to cast and he humbly accepted our invitation. Even though it was just one game, we still appreciate on his time and cast before he went off to cast for The International 5's Open Qualifiers.

Trojan Horse Was a Unicorn took the first game convincingly but 3 Pokemon 2 Sadboys strikes back with 3 solid games after their defeat in game 1. Final score shows 3 to 1 with 3 Pokemon 2 Sadboys crowned as our very first SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 champion!

Fret not, the other 2 teams that got beaten by 3P2S. You all will be awarded as promised. All the prizes will be distributed as shown below.

On behalf of the SIL committee, we thank every teams for their participation in this much flawed tournament (but we tried our best). We promise to give back more and organise better tournaments in the following seasons. As Season 1 ends here, we will start preparing for the next. If you have any feedbacks regarding Season 1 or suggestion for Season 2, do not hesitate to comment below or e-mail to us. We will have more updates on our subreddit /r/sealdota2 so stay tuned!

Honorable mentions to all the members who helped us, and they are Chilyn, NaTaN, IndianoJonez, Kate, RandomNoob, and Otomo. Finally, give a round of applause to all the SIL committee members - croutons5, BangBang, Xyz, Aaaaaaa.L, Thawne/Deimos, Tofu, and Aeolus. Without these guy, show will not go on.

Oh! Not to forget about our sponsors. Thank you TryHardGaming and Logical Increment sponsorship in this season.

BASH ONTO YOUR FACES

May 10, 2015 - We have received a generous contribution moment ago. This player has actually contributed us FIVE(5) The Voidhammer, Faceless Void's cosmetic weapon. He requested to remain as anonymous but let's call him Mr. X. On behalf of SEA Dota2 Inhouse League, a big thank you to this amazing Mr. X.

As good news comes, the winning team of SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 will receive the additional The Voidhammers on top of the two sets. We hope this could motivate the remaining teams in the tournament, and do all your best.

Good news don't stop there. Our sponsor TryHardGaming is hosting a giveaway for the Nightstalker Immortal Black Nihility from the Immortal Treasure I of The International 5's Compendium. One set will never be enough, so there are a total of three sets to be won! You can participate by clicking here and follow the instructions from there.

Other than items, we like to update every participants to take note on the brackets and schedule. As we approach near our tournament deadline, we are forced into a position where we have to schedule the game on a fixed time. This doesn't mean no reschedule is allowed as mentioned before, so you may e-mail us as soon as possible. Reschedule mail(s) after Sunday midnight will be reconsidered. Look at the schedule now https://goo.gl/44pLBj to avoid any upset or misunderstanding.

As you might notice, we have moved ever so slightly on the Lower Bracket. We actually messed up the seeding on the lower bracket so we fixed it before anything goes wild. This arrangement ensures a fairer group seeding.

Before we end this, we wish every team and players all the best. Don't give up but try to give all you can in a game, no matter it's 15 minutes or 2 hours long.

SECOND PHASE, ANOTHER DROPS

May 3, 2015 - SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 has a minor or some would say major to you. Lower Bracket updated as APEX ALPHA PREDATORS or AAP has dropped out from the second phase of SIL Captain's Draft Season 1. Due to this, we have contacted Supreme Leader on the replacement but they are unable to make to the brackets. As they can't make it, we have decided to get the team just below Supreme Leader in the standings. Croutons+4 will be replacing AAP from now on.

Our method on distributing the matchups

This change also made us realise we should reconsider the standings and brackets. As above shown, there are minor changes on the team matchups but games will still go on. We have posted on our subreddit regarding scheduling too. Teams do check it out.

The upper bracket remains unchanged. In fact, we will have a match tonight. Midas or Feed vs. YX FANBOYS from the upper bracket at 9PM (Sunday) in a best of 3 format. You may watch the matches over on DotaTV under Amateur and find "SIL Captain's Draft Season 1".

SIL SEASON 1 ROUND ROBINS ARE DONE

May 1, 2015 - 14 days of SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 round robins have come to an end. Results are out. 12 teams will be advancing to the next phase – Midas or Feed, Trojan Horse Was A Unicorn, T-rex Hates Push-ups, 3 Pokemon 2 Sadboys, YX FANBOYS, APEX ALPHA PREDATOR, Katipunan Elite Force, YOLO, Indomie Goreng, Clueless Int, No Idea, and lastly Team 143 means ily. Unfortunately, we will not have any tiebreaker for the two 12th places. Therefore, Team 143 means ily advances. Reason being Team 143 means ily has won against Supreme Leader in their previous matchup.

**Mistake on standings! YX FANBOYS and 3P2S have the same score of 10-4. YX FANBOYS will be in the Upper Bracket instead, because YX FANBOYS has won against 3P2S in the previous matchup. Brackets & standings updated. Sorry about that!

The bracket will look like this. (We are sorry for being too stylish on the brackets)

All matches in BO3 except for Grand Final

Second phase matches will be starting as early as on Saturday. To accommodate every teams' desired schedule, we like to propose the idea of scheduling the matches yourself with the time slots we provide. Time slots provided can be found with the following link http://goo.gl/CektzS.

Teams must contact each other to come into an agreement on a date and time we provide for Best of 3 games (except for Grand Final BO5). For instance, WB1 match's Midas or Feed must contact 3 Pokemon 2 Sadboys and both agrees to choose Saturday 5PM timeslot to play, or vice versa. After that, we will need both captains to e-mail us sildota.contacts@gmail.com the time. Please schedule your matches as soon as possible and you will have more slots in the future without delaying.

Example on e-scheduling

Secondly, we encourage the teams have their 5 main players with an extra stand-in forming a team of 6. In the future matches, we will not allow any stand-ins that are not registered unless emergency (we will judge on the matter). Rosters can be found with the following link https://goo.gl/eul7m5. Please gather and submit your full team asap if you haven't

We have received several complaints regarding the unfairness of excessive stand-in and one-for-all stand-ins issue. After a few discussion, we will not allow Goguma and lyx standing in for ANY teams in SIL Season 1. We urge teams without complete 5 members to inform us and declare their 5 + 1 official stand-in before the double elimination starts. Any inquiries, you may list down in the e-mail too.

Other than that, our admin, croutons5 has requested the TOP 12 teams to submit their team logos and banners. The purpose of this is to make amazing visuals for the teams in this tournament. E-mail us now (with a proper subject title like "YOLO team logo")!

3 MORE DAYS BEFORE WE PROCEED TO PLAYOFFS

April 28, 2015 - You have seen the 11 days of bloodbaths, mega creeps, base pushes and thrones destroyed. Most teams have already played about 10 to 11 games, few more matches to determine their final positions in playoffs. Three more days to determine the TOP 12 - upper 4 teams and lower 8 teams. All games will be best of 3 while a best of 5 will determine the grand winner in the grand final of SIL Captain's Draft Season 1.

On day 9, YX FANBOYS stripped away the undefeated title from Midas or Feed but yet they held strong, maintaining their position as the leader of this standings. Followed by both T-Rex Hates Push-ups and Trojan Horse was a Unicorn with a 9 - 2 score.

At the bottom part of the standings, we have Team Katka that have yet to show themselves and leading them with a total 11 loss (most forfeits and default wins to opponent teams). Croutons+4 and Team 143 means ily in a dangerous position but chances are there for them to grab hold onto TOP 12 to advance to playoffs.

In case you miss anything, our dedicated croutons5 has set up discussion threads on /u/sealdota2/ each day for 14 days. Starting from day 1 to day 11 (the latest), and another 3 more coming up. Do, re, mi... and click on the the number of day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

Again, we would like to thank our sponsor TryHardGaming and Logical Increments for making SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 possible. We like to wish ourselves a happy 2-month-old too. The duration might not seem long but we 'ran' as quickly as we could to bring more good news to our fellow players in Dota 2 Southeast Asia region.

SIL CAPTAIN'S DRAFT SEASON 1 -

THREE EXCITING DAYS HAVE PASSED

April 20, 2015 - "Whoa!", three days with a lot of exciting games. Stomps, close games and some are really intense games, all can be found here. Looking at the leaderboard, we have Midas or Feed and YOLO are leading with 4 wins to 0 loss. It's safe to say both teams are the strongest competitions in this tournament. Teams that are going to go against them in the next few days, do look out for them.

The most exciting game will probably be the match Indomie Goreng against YOLO. Well, at least it's proven on our viewer statistic which has 841 unique spectators. You may download and view the replay by visiting our tournament – SIL Captain's Draft Season 1 under the Amateur league. This tournament is completely free to watch on Dota TV.

On side note, we announced Secret Formula's withdrawal before the tournament and having Champinos of Legolas Legends leaving us 2 days ago. We wish the two teams good luck and hope to see them in our next season.

Where's the bracket?, most of you probably asking that. We have come down to a discussion where only 12 teams will be advancing to our double elimination. Top 4 going to upper bracket; bottom 8 fighting to the top in the lower bracket. Clearer updates will be posted soon!

Before we leave you with this, I like to inform we do have dedicated discussion post on our /r/sealdota2/ everyday for the matches by our awesome croutons5. Give him a round of applause and keep all the lively discussion there. You can find discussion here - DAY 1, DAY 2 and DAY 3.
