Do You Dare to Dream?
hey guys,
i'm sure you've been really anticipating for this event for quite some time already. i apologise for the postponement of the competition during the June holidays; it was just too rushed for all of us, both organisers and contestants alike.
but this time, i believe it is gonna happen, with great confidence. however every event will never come to a resounding success if the participant - you, is not part of it.
the aim of this competition is pretty much simple - a stepping stone to greater heights. all i want to do is to create opportunities for each and everyone of us, friend or stranger, young or old, male or female, to reach out for your dreams to be a renowned DotA team, one step at a time.
it all began when i was in Secondary 3, where i took a step out to create the 1st in-house challenge within my school. we had a great time together, exciting matches with friends and learning many new things back at that time.
as time passed by over the years, my friends have steadily risen to become pretty much adept DotA-ers. haha there's just too many for me to mention, from the various junior colleges to Singapore Polytechnic, and to watch them battle it out in the various competitions held in their own schools.
Not only have skills been honed greatly, friendships and teamwork have been forged too. of course it is not only created through victory; the defeats which seem innumerable taught so much and brought the team closer together.
yes, one man can make a difference. when 5 come together to make the differing cut, they reign with the Power of One.
