Second 'Last' Chance

Thank God it's Friday. I never thought of saying this phrase seriously in my mind. Since I don't believe in astrology; I retract my heed on any irrational paradigms; I don't ask my fate on simple lucky days... However, this Friday gave my life a new path to lead unto. Even though the new path seemed cocky, it still doesn't make me weary. But worry lurks my weak subconsciousness, for I have doubt myself plenty of times. Still this is my best path to go up to. So I had to take the chance twice [sic] again.

But I'm not bound to fail (or get lost) again on the same path twice. So a change must be observed.

DotA Allstars v6.33

After 6.32b was considered the Latest Stable Map for some time due to intensive tweaking with various bugs developed since the 6.28 version, now the long wait is over. For they have already released a new version with lotsa new features and improvement. Considering a new map preview art again from one of their aquaintances, this Map marks a new level for the DotA community. I'm sure all of you are eagerly waiting for this one, so I'm posting here the link to get it as well. :)
