It can be a little irritating trying to host your own 6v6 DotA game on Battle.net. Mainly because people need to download the map or they aren't joining fast enough. I've solved that problem by starting up a game hosting bot, and you might have already played few games with it.
If you're on Azeroth, Lordaeron, or Northrend, then you can join these games too. In all three of these realms, you can join channel 6v6-DotA in Battle.net to find out when the bot will be hosting the next game.
As of now, the bot doesn't keep track of stats very well and they are deleted every so often as I do testing. I'm working on a feature that can keep track of stats for every game (K/D/A etc) which could lead to some other pretty cool features down the road.

I've actually had trouble joining your games and I'm not sure why so I like to host my own games sometimes but thanks for the info!
"It can be a little irritating" when the $#@! bot in the 6v6-DotA channel ONLY hosts -EM games.
Are you trying to tarnish the image of 6v6 being for noobs only? If it was up to me, 6v6 would have -em DISABLED.
Change your bot plz.
Haha, fair enough. I'll mix it up a bit now on.
Crazy thought, if you don't like playing 6v6 with -em on, host your own 6v6 mode and make it whatever you want. Don't complain about a service Tony's doing for everyone out of his pocket, say thanks or say nothing at all.
good job mate
Garena:
Russian DotA Room 22
JOIN ME dota 6v6 every day :)
i see nothing in the channel :(
ok, had to wait some time but it worked
Russian DotA Room 22
when I was in the room I write in a chat that was created Dota 6v6
The games from this host on Lordaeron have grown increasingly lagged to the point of sheer unplayablity. I've played 48 games in the last week or two and my pings doubled to tripled (once it was around ~515ms! not 100ms I'm used to) and droppouts went from occasional lag (every 5 inutes) & loses 2-4 players to lag every 10 seconds and games dropping 4 or 5 players in as many minutes. When the people owning lag drop out, 3 or 4 at a time its not just leavers to consider.
Please look into your game host.
ok, it worked once. can u please tell me the exact name of the channel, is it "6v6-dota"? is the name of the channel to games aboth "russian dota room 22"? and is there a command, to see open games (like "!games") or something? are there other channels or some ways to find games?
"can u please tell me the exact name of the channel, is it 6v6-dota?"
Yes, the channel name is 6v6-DotA (not case sensitive). The poster above is talking about playing Warcraft III using something other than Battle.net. Once you are in the channel, the bot will announce when the next game is being created. If the bot isn't in the channel, then it is most likely in a Game Lobby at that time (the part before the game launches).
"Please look into your game host."
I will look into this, thanks for letting me know.
Hi, i downloaded 6v6map tonight, it's very good to see this, so i mean when someone leaves my game that i hosting, it"s not so hard to balance or something.I mean 5v5 leave 3..it's over..but in 6v6 when leave 3 it can be played to the end..because, with the "-switch" it can be a 3v3 game to play...so i like thanks all the members on 6v6dota to created this!!!!!! I'm very very pleased about that. HF with it.
statement 13 is right^^
i found a way to easier find the games: added the bot to friendlist, so i see gamename. and i recognized a lot of bad lags too (@ statement 10).
