Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" The first Stretch Goal in The International Interactive Compendium has been reached, with a cool $100,000 being added to the International Prize Pool. Everyone who picks up a Compendium before The International ends will now receive the most powerful Battle Bonus we’ve ever created. Don’t forget that Battle Bonuses improve the Battle Point earning rate of every player in the game with you, so if you’ve got one, make sure you drag some friends in to share in that s…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Each year we spend some of the planning time for The International trying to figure out ways to improve the connection between fans and the players in the tournament. We know that the majority of our viewers will be watching the tournament unfold over the internet, so we’d like to make it easier for an online fan to dig deeper into the event, the teams, and the players. In addition to wanting more detail, we know fans also love to compete with each other at predic…

They will be sold directly through the Dota 2 Store. This year we’ll be putting all tickets up for sale at once, so set your alarm clocks.

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" The International returns once again this summer to Seattle with a five day Main Event, starting on August 7th. The first team invited to The International are the returning champions, Invictus Gaming. Twelve more teams will be announced over the coming days. Just like in last year’s event, the winners of the East and West Qualifiers will each receive an invite. As you’ve probably noticed, that only adds to 15 teams. Right before The International begins, the Wild…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Introducing Skywrath Mage! Today we’ve shipped some changes to the report system as part of our ongoing initiatives in the community space. We’d like to do what we can to discourage some of the negativity that can go on during games as well as encourage folks to exhibit more cooperative behavior with other members of the community. To that end, we’ve implemented the following changes: – We’re restricting the number of report fields per report to a single field in …

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Better watch your back, because Bristleback is back! (kill me). Something we’re very excited about this week is Anuxi’s Treasure of the Shaper Divine Chest. Look at all that stuff! This marks the first Chest entirely composed of items created by a single Workshop Contributor. We cannot wait to see what else comes out of the Dota 2 Workshop community. In Tournament news, The Defense 3 Grand Finals are this weekend and if you happen to be one of the Immortal Highlan…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" After a two month break, the G-League Grand Finals is set to take stage at the Mercedez-Benz Arena in Shanghai. The Best of 5 match will have International Champions iG face off against LGD.Int, a team composed of US, Canadian, Russian and European players that recently moved to China.

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" This week’s update includes the first piece of a large set of features aimed at introducing new players to Dota 2. Dota’s a deep game, and there’s a lot of things to learn, but we felt it was important that the learning was entertaining in itself, so we’ve tried to avoid building a dry tutorial. Did we succeed? That’s where you come in. If you’re a new player, you’ll be automatically guided towards the first tutorial adventure, where you play Davion, The Dragon Kn…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" What does a hero truly need? Now you can find out with Hero Builds. Dota 2 has a vast number of heroes to choose from, and we’re adding more all the time. Player-written guides are a great way to learn more about these heroes, but that’s a lot of information to keep in your head in the heat of battle. That’s why we’re introducing Hero Builds: integrated guides that allow you to see which items to buy and which abilities to level (and when), all within Dota 2. You …

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Tusk is going to knock you out, Tusk’s mama said to knock you out. In this update you will also find Mirana’s first item set: The Garments of the Nightsilver Sentinel. I have never heard of an Owlion before but after reading Beastmaster’s Great Big Book of Big Beasts That Happen To Be Big, I learned they are one of those creatures usually bred for their skills in magic. Speaking of weird creatures, the new season of the Star Series begins tomorrow and v1lat manage…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Today’s update includes the initial release of the long awaited Team Matchmaking feature. Dota 2 is a game that inspires its players to improve. Our data shows that one of the best ways to improve is to regularly play with a set of friends who have the same goal. Our data also shows that the quality of matches between groups of friends is simply higher. In addition, we can give you more accurate feedback on your game-to-game performance when you play with a fixed …

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Don’t feed this guy. In happier news, our new Calendar system is now available. Leagues can add events to the calendar making pro games easier to follow than ever before. And what better way of using this new feature than by following the new SEA League? That GoDz guy is so dreamy. We’ve also added All Random mode and tweaked Least Played to now hide a player’s top 40 heroes. And unlike last week, I will properly link to the changelog this time.

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" In Today’s update you will find a new game mode called Least Played. In this mode, players can only pick from their least played heroes. Having an even playing field for everyone in the match will hopefully encourage players to break out of their comfort zone and try new heroes. Give it a shot! We’ve also changed the Shared Content panel. Some items in Dota 2 can be shared and used by other players in a match. The new panel should make it easier to browse the avai…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Yep, we are back! One little known fact about the world of Dota 2: Winter last less than a month. Astronomers have yet to figure out why but they think that it might have something to do with Doombringer’s hatred for wearing sweaters. This also means the Frosty Treasures of Frostivus items will be melting away soon, so make sure you get a key and open them up! Glorious rewards await inside (we promise no tube socks will be found). Have you been following the G-Lea…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Ah yes, it is that time of the year. A time to buy the courier, a time to let that other guy have the last hit, a time to be grateful if you happen to be a frost Lich or Crystal Maiden. Introducing Frostivus. Frostivus is our Holidays event, enjoy it responsibly with a nice cup of Greevil Eggnog. And the winner of the Polycount Contest is… *drum roll* Most of you have already guessed but it’s time to make it official: Danidem and Hunter’s Rider of the Storm set fo…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Day three of the Polycount Contest winners announcements begins. We won’t spend a lot of time on introductions as we know you want to get back to maniacally murdering trees with the newly introduced hero Timbersaw. That guy is clearly compensating for something. Now on to our distinguished winners! Coming in as winner number seven we have… A collection of seven items created by Bisho Bola. Dota 2 Polycount Contest Finalist. He that burns and is not consumed now wa…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Today’s winners may all come with a certain degree of controversy. Here are three standout sets that have beaten very close competition to clench victory. Our fourth winner… A collection of three items created by Anuxi. Dota 2 Polycount Contest Finalist. It is little known of Crystal Maiden, that in her long study of the Frozen Arts, she once greatly displeased her Ice Wizard master and to restore herself to his graces and prove worthy of his instruction, she pass…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" The Dota 2 Polycount Contest began on October 8th and officially ended this past Monday December 3rd. Over that two month period the Polycount modeling community submitted more than 1,000 entries to the Dota 2 Workshop. We aren’t exaggerating when we say that the sheer magnitude of high quality submissions has blown us away and that judging entries has been difficult because so many sets could have been winners. We have no doubt that a very large number (if not a …

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" The Defense 3 tournament has started and a ticket is now available on the Dota 2 Store. What separates this item from previous ones is the inclusion of an exclusive in-game Courier with every purchase. We are excited to see Tournaments looking for ways to add extra value to their events. In this case, JoinDota teamed up with Vlad the Implyer (a prolific Workshop contributor) to bring you Ramnaught of Underwool. A few months ago, when we introduced in-game tourname…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" This week’s update comes a little earlier than usual. This week is Thanksgiving here in the US so we are taking a few days off. But even if you don’t live in the US, I’m sure you will be thankful for all the great games that will come out of this weekend’s DreamHack Dota 2 Corsair Vengeance Cup. You will be able to watch every single game for free inside the client so get your bathrobe and bucket of turkey ready because this is going to be great. Also available is…
