I'd like to play Dota 2. Not sure where to start though... I have no idea what all this invite and key stuff is (aside from the fact that the key is a beta key) that people are talking about. I had heard/read that Dota 2 is free to play/download, but that doesn't seem to be the case from what I see here. Can anyone please shed some light on what the process is to play this darn game? Ty sirs. | ||

Ty sirs. Currently, Dota 2 is still technically in a "closed beta." That means to get invites, you would normally need to sign up (http://blog.dota2.com/) for a beta invite. If you do get the invite, then obviously it's free to play, but it'll probably take a while. If you want in fast, there are also dota 2 beta keys floating around (whether it be as a gift from valve for keys gotten at events, etc), and often times people are willing to trade these beta keys for treasure chest keys that open chests in-game. These chest keys can be bought for $2 or something and most people will ask for 2-3 chest keys in return for trading over the invite. That's what this thread is for. Straight up buying into the game costs $40. | ||

I believe the point synapse is making is that if you invest like 5 more minutes you can save yourself ~35$. By purchasing Treasure Keys ($2.50 each) from the dota2 store and trading them to other people. I bolded the part you seemed to be missing. | ||
