Support Your Teams in ADC now with your National Avatars!


DotA Fans,

ADC Season 2 is getting even hotter now as we are almost at the finish-line for the regular season - teams are competing for a limited 4-slot in the Season Finale of ADC 08! Who will make it there? You can help decide!

Your time to show your support to your favorite teams of ADC08 is now on! Your support will greatly help your nation’s team stay on track and remain in their quest to be crowned as Asia’s best. This is your chance to stop being just an audience and become a real supporter to the team carrying your country’s flag and pride.

Special ADC Team Avatars are now available in Garena Avatar Shop for the 10 competing teams in the regular season. To cast your vote of support to a team, you may purchase and use the personalized team avatar sold in store. Each avatar purchased is counted as 1 point to the team. The team with the most votes at the end of the voting season will have a bonus “revive” point, allowing the team who won the voting to have another opportunity to challenge their opponent again if they lose during playoff or playdown (depending on their standings at the end of the season, see ADC Season II Rules for more details - link).

Voting Period starts now and will end one week prior to the last play day (See details released later by the tournament administrator for specific date of last play day).

Vote now by purchasing and using your team avatar! Show your team that the whole country is supporting them! Inspire, motivate, drive your team to victory!

Secrets to EXP Boosting [revealed]


I know many of you have been wondering how to level up real fast. Since you are all GOLD MEMBERS, your EXP gain is twice the normal EXP gain for GARENA. Anyways, without further ado, let me give to you the techniques to LEVEL UP real fast LEGALLY! I know 2 ways to do it.

1) Play CALL OF DUTY 4 Same rules with the ones that applied with CounterStrike before. CounterStrike EXP has been capped in Garena 3.0

2) Play a CUSTOM MAP named FUFU UNITED NINJA ALL-STARS Yup, that's right. All you need is to have Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne Next step is to download this map.
Here's the thread to find out the latest map: http://www.gg-game.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=182110

It's the most popular CUSTOM map in the Philippines right now since it has a really FAST EXP gain. If you can't find it there, the alternative is to search it on epicwar.com

So how do you get the FULL EXP gain? and what makes this map give lottsa EXP? To fully gain the MAX EXP, you have to do the following:
a) HOST the game <-hosts get higher EXP b) Have a FULL House <-max 12 players (more players, more EXP) c) Enjoy the game. The more times you play, the more EXP you get. d) Before I forget, FINISH the game. <-the game lasts between 5 to 10 minutes so it's relatively FAST compared to DOTA and TreeTag Simple but effective. And remember, never leave games. I hope I have helped all of you with this tutorial. Thanks to the creator of this article Link: http://www.garena.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=185848
