Ever since I hired TekniqZ to be our DotA 2 manager, I have heard nothing but great insight and knowledge as well as seen a player who really has what it takes to strive to be the best. We are extremely excited to bring to you Gamer University North America which will play under the tag GU | Player Name.USA.
