ImageFrom August 1st-3rd, the "who-is-who" of the competitive DotA scene will be playing massive amounts of games against all challengers in order to raise awareness and generate support for Child's Play Charity.



DotA.For.Kids is a charity event reached out to Child's Play Charity. The nonprofit organization donates gaming stations to children in hospitals who are sick or ill. This allows them to play for fun while in their condition.

The DotA.For.Kids gaming teams consist of two teams so far with the following rosters:

US/CA Team:

- 'JoY|Samurai'
- 'JoY|mO-'
- 'PGS|Fanat1c'
- 'hi2u|Fanta'
- 'JoY|MiRRoR.'
- 'EG|Whisper'
- 'EG|Remstar'

International Team:

- 'SK.Loda'
- 'SK.Akke'
- 'mouz.Fragalot'
- 'mouz.Miracle-'
- 'SGC_ZhaoYun'
- 'SK.Tompa'
- 'mouz.KuroKy'

The map version played will be v6.52e. Games modes will vary from AP to RD.

Its fairly easy to take part in the event. Here is the quote, directly taken from their website.

"1). On August 1-3, 2008 // Put on your Game Face and play with the pros in a all out battle for the throne!
2). Donate what you can, because remember every bit counts!
3). Help spread the word of this event!
4). Keep up to date with blogs and add us on myspace!
"


All donations received will go straight to Child's Play Charity via PayPal.

Heres another quote from one of the hosts -XsK_Samurai aka Miky =_+:

"This is a great way to help kids have fun the way they are supposed to. DotA.for.Kids charity event is only limited by what our imagination and determination deem it to be. We believe that if we can get the word out to the world about this event; this can help change the face of DotA and also help change the life of child in the hospital. This also helps DotA, in some little way, to be set into the mainstream. We as a Gaming Community are tightly nit and through this we can show the rest of the Gaming Community that we too can do our part and give back to others less fortunate than us."
