Today’s update had a contract on its head, and Gondar was happy to claim it.
As always, you can find today’s change log here. Our favorite addition is the broadcasting of spectator numbers to players in a game – a great way to make Dota stress your heart even more is to let you know there’s a crowd watching your every move!
Also, cookies and milk are a thing of the past. This holiday you should leave fresh chops, sweetbread and gravy near the chimney.
My hibernation ends

After a long slumber, Ulfsaar the Warrior joins the carnage once more.
One cool new feature found in today’s update is the Suggested Item Editor. With it you can now customize your item builds while you play, and they will be available wherever you go, thanks to Steam Cloud.
You can access the editor from the item shop at any time.
As always, you can find the latest change log here.

Powerful necromancy was required to bring our latest hero, Krobelus the Death Prophet, back from the grave.
Among the usual fixes and changes found in today’s update, you will also find Radiant’s new Ancient destruction and a new loading process – if a player fails to load into the game all other players return to matchmaking with higher priority.
In community news, some great matches have been coming out of the Dota2 Star Championship tournament. You can find all the coverage you will ever need at joinDota and Gosugamer.net.
Finally, you can find today’s change log here.

N’aix, the Lifestealer joins us in today’s update. He’s the one hero capable of hiding inside your own allied heroes and jumping out for a big surprise! In this update you will find various bug fixes, including the infinite wild axes that some of you couldn’t resist using while we were gone. We have also made a change that should resolve a lot of the visual bugs and crashes that happen when running fullscreen (and especially when alt-tabbing).
For our international testers, we have added IME support for better text input handling. Please let us know how this is working. We are also ramping up our leaver detection sensitivity, which results in leavers being temporarily placed in a separate matchmaking pool.
If you haven’t signed up for Dota 2 yet, its not too late! We are continuing to send invitations out each day at an increasing pace. You need to have a Steam account first and then fill out this survey.
You can find Today’s changelog here.
Feast!

Thanksgiving is upon us, so we’re keeping this week’s update small. With so many Dota 2 tournaments cropping up lately we’ve been spending some time expanding our tournament features. Our latest update brings the first of these, adding save/load functionality to private games. Every minute a new save file is automatically created. This happens in the background so you won’t notice it. The lobby leader will be able to load any of the saved games from the Game Setup option when creating a new lobby.
Tomorrow marks the start of Dreamhack, one of the biggest LAN events in the world. Their Dota 2 tournament includes both local and international teams, and should make for some exciting games to watch. You can find more information and coverage over at Dreamhack’s website or Gosugamers.net.
