Creating a player is done through the 'Create player' page. A player is a virtual character whos main interest revolves around the DotA game. Your player will in the beginning hold some basic skills in the game of DotA, and it is then your task to make the player as good at his game as possible.
The skill of your player in the game is defined by a series of factors. Mainly the player stats and the heroes your player is able to play holds a key importance in how well your player will perform during a battle.
3.1 Player statistics

A players ability to gain money will affect how (s)he retreives new or better items during a match.
3.1.2 Kill
The kill ability describes how good your player is at killing other heroes. The higher kill ability the better your player will be at hunting the other players heroes and slaying them.
3.1.3 Survive
The survive ability describes how good your player is at surviving in the battlefield. This involves retreating at the correct times and knowing when not to engage in a battle with other heroes. Not dying will benefit the team in the long run, as a dead hero cant do much damage.
3.1.4 Deny
The deny ability describes your players ability to avoid opposing players from getting the last hit on creeps. This is done by targeting ones own creeps when their hitpoints are extremely low, thereby avoiding the opposing players a chance to kill the creeps and gain money.
3.1.5 Speed
The speed ability describes how fast your player is at reacting to the game. A fast player will be better at getting back to the base and defending, whereas a slow player may keep slaying creeps for a while, while the enemy bashes away on the base. Likewise a slow player will be less efficient at changing lanes when required.
3.1.6 Heroes
The heroes ability descirbes how many heroes your player can specialize in. A new player will normally be able to control 3 different heroes. By increasing your heroes ability your player will be allowed to play more different heroes. The possibility in specializing in a number of heroes is important, as your player will play better with heroes (s)he is specialized in.
3.1.7 Condition
Playing a DotA game at a professional level is hard work and far from relaxing. Some players will be able to play every day, whereas others will need a break with regular intervals. The players condition ability describes how well (s)he is able to keep on playing without reducing the stamina. When first the player starts getting tired (s)he will play worse and worse.
3.1.8 Temper
A players temper describes how good (s)he is at taking defeats. A player with a low temper stat will easyli be affected by prior lost games, and hence play more agressively and foolish during the upcomming matches. Having a high temper will help your player in managing the lows which can come during a DotA players career and make it easier to bounce back.

All messages must hold at least one receiver, and several can be added by sepparating the receivers with commas. This allows for sending messages to entire teams at a time if you wish to. In order to allow sending messages to your own team, your own username is allowed to be present in the receivers list. You cannot however send a message to yourself. Your username will simply be ignored from the list of receivers, but the others will receive the message.
After adding the receivers it is simply to add your message and send the message.
