Interview with the founder of DotA-AllStars.com and inspiration behind League of Legends, Pendragon

Tags:

We all know that you founded and run DotA-Allstars.com, but who really is Pendragon?
I think I'll answer this question in two parts; first - who I am as a person and second, who am I in the DotA world.

Who I am as a person is pretty easy for me. I'm 22 years old. I'm a pretty hardcore gamer - I got my gaming start in MMOs playing Everquest, moved on to Diablo 2, then DotA, then WoW, then DotA again. Professionally - I've spent the majority of my career working in Customer Service Management, and Community Management with companies like DirecTV, and Zappos.com. I currently work with an independent game developer and publisher called Riot Games.

My DotA Allstars life began in early 2004 when I first played DotA Allstars v5.40, which at the time was being developed by the original creator of DotA Allstars, Guinsoo. I had played all of Eul's original versions, and a bit of DotA: Darkness Falls, but at the time I was spending the majority of my War3 time playing Tower Wars. However, after one game of Allstars, I was hooked on DotA again and started playing 20+ games per week. Shortly after that, I discovered TDA and began working with the DotA Allstars team.

So you made DotA-Allstars.com? Can you tell us a little bit of history behind the website?
