Dota 2
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Jul 09, 2013
The official free-to-play sequel to the Warcraft III custom scenario that originally popularized the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena sub-genre.
The Hero Select Screen
Looks like they've got a good assortment of heroes already. Should make for an exciting tournament.
I seriously cannot believe that Valve was able to pull off a fantasy aesthetic so well. The heroes just look amazing to me even knowing they are just small thumbnail portraits.
However, I can totally see them prepping the Dota store with custom animations and hats (I don't know if hats could even be valued as much here, but I guess if anyone's gonna try it, it would be Valve).
As long as they keep the competitive spirit of the game alive (by not restricting players' hero selection like LoL or selling power) I'm fine with them peddling cosmetic goods.
I say the mods create 1 thread with DOTA2 footage. I'm sick of these "1 screenshot, 1 thread" things.
Other than that, pretty sweet stuff.
I think the tournament is in just a few days? And Valve had an extremely strict NDA that basically would fuck anyone who leaked an image over big time. I think Gamescom is where they'll be really showing it off and announcing the release date etcThis is weird. DOTA 2 is coming out later this year yet no official screens or trailers have been released for it with a big tournament being held within weeks, the game isn't out yet!

It wouldn't be unprecedented, since both League of legends and Heroes of Newerth both have in-game stores for buying alternate costumes and animations, etc.
