      <title>Generation Gaming Cafe Opens In Seattle: Dota 2 Event Imminent?</title>
      <description>For Seattle-area members:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A fairly new gaming cafe has opened up on University of Washington's &amp;quot;The Ave&amp;quot;! It's called Generation Gaming Cafe and houses thirty computers! A little bit of warning though: there is a price to use their computers of course. For more information, feel free to check their Facebook page!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgenerationgamingcafe&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;Generation Gaming Cafe Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bb_link_host&quot;&gt;[www.facebook.com]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the moment, the cafe is heavily revolved around League of Legends: they run tourneys, invite people to watch games at the cafe, and just have a lot of League players that play. After talking with the owners, however, it seems that they are also interested in having Dota 2 become a larger presence within the cafe! An event of some sorts is in the works, but we need to find out how many people are interested and would actually attend. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But for now, this is just a heads up for Dota 2 players around the UW area that there &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; a local place to meet up and just game! If we work out an event, be sure to check the Defense of the NW Facebook Group page for an announcement! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;bb_link&quot; href=&quot;https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2F191188794395561%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot; noopener&quot; &gt;Defense of the Northwest Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bb_link_host&quot;&gt;[www.facebook.com]&lt;/span&gt;</description>

      <title>Welcome to Defense of the Northwest!</title>
      <description>Hello there, all and welcome to the premiere community for Dota 2 players that hail from the Pacific Northwest!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We hope that we can build a strong, self-sustaining Dota 2 community where people can feel comfortable and welcome. Of course, bringing a large group of people together is a tad bit difficult, so why not use area as a commonality to gather everyone! The other reason we decided to make a group based on region is because we eventually hope to make local Dota 2 events that players can physically attend and participate in. Everyone loves tournaments, but not everyone can make it to Dreamhack or MLG. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Invite your friends! Looking forward to seeing the community grow and flourish!</description>
