Dota 2 - Eschatos - 08-01-2011
Valve just announced the first tournament, happening on August 17-21 with a prize of $1 million. That's also the first time the public gets to see the game. It's nice to see that Valve is actually trying to promote the game.

Re: Dota 2 - Spore - 08-01-2011
That is how you publicly reveal a competitive multiplayer game to the masses. You get the best players ever for it and make them fight for 1 million dollars.

There is also a Steampowered store page now. I still think this is going to be free to play. And it's going to be absolutely massive. You see 3 million, maybe 3.5 million players on Steam concurrently now? I bet right when this hits it will pop up to 5 million at least.

  Game modes in Dota 2:
    Classic Mode: Just like original Dota
    Normal Mode: Orb system changes
    Easy Mode: No experience loss from denies. no money loss on death
    All Random All Mid: speaks for itself
    Fortress Mode: one team is attacking while the other defends. the defending team can buy traps, attacking team can buy minions
    Arena Mode: Free for all or team deathmatch
    Wild Mode: Random characters with random skillset
    Free Mode: No cooldowns and no mana cost on abilities
    Commander Mode: On death you are changed into another character with the same items and same level. The first team to run out of heroes or to lose their base loses the game.
  Lasthitting aids (deactivateable) creeps that are killable with one ordinary attack start to glow a bit
  Items are 1:1 copies from the original DotA but the Orb system has been reworked
  Shop was completely redesigned with some cool new features such as Auto-Buy Item X when you have Y gold
  Still STR/AGI/INT but most Int heroes have at least 1 spell that scales off their Int at least a little
  Classic mode game duration is very similar to original dota
  Easy mode games last about 20-30 minutes, similar to League of Legends games
  Animation cancelling will work the same way as in dota
  All dota heroes are ported over to dota 2
  Visual Artists of Team Fortress 2 and Portal work on the graphics
  All heroes have new models and art but are easily identifiable
  Right now there are 8 maps including a dedicated All Random All Mid map, a map which is only jungle with no lanes, a 3vs3vs3 map and a lot more
  Itâs rumored that Dota 2 will not be free 2 play
  Jon St. John, the original voice of Duke from Duke Nukem 3D was hired for voice acting. Hopefully he acts for the ingame announcer voice
  There will be a playable demo @ gamescom 2011 and itâs said that a public beta will start soon after
  If you can run âAlien Swarmâ you will be able to play Dota 2 since it has the same hardware requirements
  Testers say that the graphics look really awesome! Amazing particle effects and units and stuff are still clearly visible on the map
  There will be a tutorial for the game and for each hero. Also a training game mode for beginners will be included.
  Some features of the Dota 2 Launcher:
    Full native support for clans and tournaments
    Players and clans can create own tournaments with special rules
    Brackets for those tournaments will automatically be seeded regarding the team level
    Fully featured spectator mode for all public games
    Testers say itâs the most worked out and most professional launcher software theyâve ever seen
most are rumors... its killing me
