"The rumors and speculation can cease. Valve is making Dota 2, we've played it, and it's already amazing even though it's not coming out until next year. And we haven't yet laid eyes on Dota 2's biggest innovation: a radical approach to integrating the game's community back into the gameplay itself."
IceFrog has been maintaining and updating dota-allstars. He is now working on dota 2 with valve. I hope the game turns out better than HON or LOL. I still play dota on a daily basis and love the game. One of the best games I've ever played actually, and I'm really looking forward to this.
Has anyone else heard anything about this project? It sounds like dota 2 will remain true to the original with a couple enhancements, such as AI playing the leavers, better graphics, voice chat, coaching system, among many other features.
