Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" In honor of those heroes who have valiantly fought the forces of Frostivus Eve to keep their King enthroned, we are extending Wraith-Night through the weekend and doubling the drop-rate for both Shining and Phantom Fragments. If you happen to be just “this close” to collecting the fragments you need for completing a Wraith-Night Relic or Offering, you now have a chance to close the gap faster than ever. While Wraith-Night ends on January 6, you will still have the…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Merry not-Frostivus! Though the Wraith King may have risen, the clueless creep hordes still seek to destroy his royal Altar. That means Wraith-Night continues, and to help ensure the Altar sees the light of dawn, five more heroes have entered the battle: Elder Titan, Queen of Pain, Storm Spirit, Templar Assassin, and Witch Doctor! It seems a few of you have earned the Wraith King’s Favor and amassed a pile of Wraith-Night Ossuaries and Relic recipes, and now sit u…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" For the past several months, access to Dota 2 has been granted through a queue system that gated entry into the community. We’ve used this system to gradually increase the size of our playerbase, as we ramped up our infrastructure and improved the experience for new players. As we have recently completed a set of server management upgrades as well as released a huge number of enhancements to the new user experience, we’re going to remove all restrictions to playin…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Whenever we make a significant mistake, we spend a bunch of time looking at what happened, why it happened, and how we can fix it. Most of the time we do this privately, but in our recent mistake around Diretide, we felt sharing our analysis with you made sense. First, what happened – we didn’t ship a Diretide event this year, and you were rightly upset about it. That was clearly a mistake, and then we compounded the problem by not telling you what was going on. S…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Thanks to everyone who viewed, visited, or played The International this year. With all of your help, it was a huge success. Congratulations to this year’s Champions, Alliance, and the two runner-ups Na’Vi and Orange. It was a great field of 17 teams that made every game from the first to the last exciting to watch. Over one million people viewed streams of The International with hundreds of thousands more watching it on TV in China and Sweden. We also had over 40…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" In their first meeting on the main stage of Benaroya Hall, Alliance dominated Na’Vi. That series let Alliance rest on top the Upper Bracket while Na’Vi had to prove themselves in a battle for the Lower Bracket crown to continue their journey. The first game of the Finals started the same as the last, Na’Vi chose a bizarre draft that left them with a high risk move that simply failed. Alliance dominated them in under 30 minutes and it looked like Alliance would con…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" What an incredible series. Orange dominated the first game and it looked bleak for Na’Vi but they would not go down easily. They came back in the second game and took it convincingly as theirs. That made it all about the third game. One team would be eliminated and end their day in third place and the other would go on to face Alliance. Orange leapt out to an early lead, that looked insurmountable. At one point Orange was just hunting Na’Vi and dominating in gold,…
