Disappointed that you didn't take part of the ASUS Spring 2008 at Moscow? Here comes what could have happened to you if you would have spend more time to DotA and had a bit of luck to get asked to join SK.DotA. - Day 2

What would you as a real northmen have to do when they get up? Right, you would have had a huge breakfast to prepare for the battles of the day. At this point you would have noticed that Joakim 'Akke' Akterhall is a wimp, because he abandoned you and your teammates and declined a breakfast as he usually does.

Anyways, you would have started this first day of the tournament with pancakes and filled croissants.

Right after this refreshment you would have went outside to wait for Sergey 'ARS-ART' Revin and Nikolay 'tekkenlord' Krasovsky to pick you up and take you to the Clicknet LAN center. Arriving 15 minutes too late you would have directly be forced to play your first game.

No problem for you? It would have been, definitely! The administration of ASUS Spring 2008 prohibited to use a customkeys.txt for the whole tournament. Treated like a third party program which is something like a cheat your epic skills and long trained combinations of skill using disappeared in this second of surprise.

Biting in the sour apple you would have remembered your origins of playing public without even knowing that you can change the bindings of skills to keys, and you would have had a lot of problems in the beginning of the first group stage.

The best situation of the day would have be the moment when Jonathan 'Loda' Berg tried to fool 'dendi' of WolkeR-Gaming: You would have gone with 'Akke' and 'Loda' to watch him play, and then suddenly 'Loda' would have screamed on dendi to be careful; only to get ganked seconds after you all laughed.

Finally gone unbeaten through the group stages you would have re-learned how to play under these circumstances, but it was pretty harder than you thought it would have been!

You would have been back at your hotel around midnight, eating another tasty meal and feasting a little about your first successful matches on your first event abroad.
