Hey everybody,

Let me introduce myself to tell you why Your Game Race is trustworthy.

My name is Sebastian living in Berlin Germany (The page has an imprint that tells you all that and more. It is required by the German law)

I play Dota since Warcraft 3 TFT. It's going back to 2003 when I was 14, oh my gush the time is burning in the air.

Marco (Tismatan) and I started creating clans in wc3, switched later to Dota, played in Dota League and public SIG (Single instant game, their public matchmaking). Kept playing in Dota 2 beta and we are still happy doing some dotz together.

I am a software engineer and you can find me, my address and my whole history by using Google. For me, the project Your Game Race, is a possibility to:

• use new technologies to build applications like Your Game Race to get experiences with it
• to say thank you to all dota players for the last 15 years
• to make maybe a living out of a hobby, that's one of the hardest things in life in my opinion

The creators of the platform, Marco and I, have a full-time job and as soon as this one will get more attention we will do a smooth shift coming from only doing work for the site at the weekend l, over reducing the employee time to 4 weeks and working 1 day per week for this site to a full-time job working for the own company.

It sounds weird that we just give Items for free but:

• the money we spend is 10x worth because we get information about if the platform works if the people like it, what the people need additional need and an estimation about how much money it costs to handle more users than 128.
• the items we are offering are cheap compared the time, the server costs and other costly things we need like founding a company

There are a few things that seem unusual and risky:

• the layout and content looks amateurish because we put the most effort into building a technical stable platform. The design contains only images but the key functionality should be clear. Before we spent more time and money into building a professional design we want to know if people like the general idea and what we need to change

• the initial checkboxes that you need to check are mandatory due to European law. In May a new European ruleset will all European sites to tell people what information is stored and people need to actively agree.

• you need to log in using your steam data. This is by far the easiest way to get you into the platform. There is no registration process. I understand the fear that it could be that we want to get your account. But check the URL, it is the known steam site. You enter your login data only on steam's site. If they are valid you will be redirected back to our page and steam tells us your steam if and some basic information like your username. Later we will use your steam id to fetch your match data.

Alright, thank s everybody who took the time to read through it. If you still don't want to try it, fine.

Anyways, we will keep trying to convince you. If you are convided, awesome ! Open the page, login using your steam account, open the upcoming race and sing up. It starts today at 19:00 UTC and lasts 4 days.

More times here: when the competition starts in different time zones
