Yeah, the update is really good. Pity I run the game abysmally.

I bought a new rig with dota 2 specs in mind like 3 months ago and I still haven't score a key. When will the game become public D:

Supposedly Valve credit the game not being public to the fact that their servers can't handle the immense bulk of players that want to play the game...

What would 1.6 million do in development? I mean, really. You need publicity for a game too.

With PAX being the largest convention in Seattle at the rough time of the International (set for the labour day weekend, Aug 31 - Sep 2) alot of us are putting that at the top of our guess list. Is there a short list of places you are looking at?

That is a good guess, but nothing is finalized just yet.

The last international we saw a prize pool of 1.6 million dollars, are you looking to create the same prize pool?

At least.

As the rumours fly about the opening of the BETA, and the release of DOTA2, speaking as a man that runs on 'Valve Time' would you have a time frame for both these events? And do you plan them to be linked into things such as the International?

The gating factor on getting everyone playing Dota 2 right now is mostly about us having enough server capacity to support the Dota audience. Our release date is not tied to The International, but we do have a goal of everyone being able to view the matches live inside the game.
