I'm pretty excited that they're turning on the Dota servers again in two days. I realize the game is dead, but it's cool they still let the obsessed people play for 10 days a year.

Sorry for double post but it also looks valve has already announced some changes for next year

1.) 12 Direct Invites for TI9
2.) One regional qualifier per region
3.) DPC not awarded to just top 4, could be top 6 or 8 (still undecided)
4.) Advised all teams to stop accepting sponsorship from any gambling website
5.) Valve wants pro teams to train with OpenAI

Ask Envy what he thinks about Cells at Work

Also general questions I like is to see is when people ask players who their favorite player at their own role other than them is (support, captain, drafter, mid, offlane, etc)
