"Are Hotkeys Illegal?"

Is using a hotkey ("Autohotkey for remapping keyboard keys") illegal in tournaments like this or in any other leagues?...

Can some pro answer my questions!!..

Ouch, no way. Moon and a lot of pro players use the hotkeys. I remembered Moon answered a question about this in the Ask MYM area, and he uses the hotkeys in tournaments without problems.

Of course use hot keys, on the other hand there are some hotkeys I don't believe in, like side button mouses, etc

"there are some hot heys i don't believe in"?
what does that mean.

i think you mean,
"there are some hotkeys, the use of which, i do not endorse"., yes?

either way side mouse buttons improve micro abilities tremendously.
my mouse buttons are assigned to num 7 and num 8.. (top two items slots in war3/dota).

the mapping of keyboard and mouse hotkeys should not be regulated, imho.

I thought you MUST use hotkeys to play dota O.o i mean its impossible
to blink to enemy
stun him
use another damage spell
use ult
and blink back
(all in 5 sec)

bet there will be another person will asking if it is legal to kill enemy heroes or gang =)

In DotA, I only remaped the numpad numbers, while I left the default hotkeys for spells as they are, because I'm quite comfortable with their situation. QWER or ASDF spell using usually makes me screw the things up completly.

well i notice that hotkeys are used in many tournaments like PriDe and etc .Also i changed my numpad numbers for letters but about hot keys to use spells faster? i'd would be better 'cause i'd have time for thinking about my game and not about how to use my fingers to blink , use dagon , guinso, necros , eul while playing hard Dota games.

Just wondering what the best hotkey mapping prog is for DotA. For me, all I would wish is to bind 3&4 to top 2 inv items.... Or perhaps mousewheel. Simple. Any good progs that don't take much memory for this?
