Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Life is unfair with invites, I really wish they sent out like a ton of invites, hopefully soon I'll get one.

So my roommate got a key and i didnt, I guess the only logic course of action is to strangle him and steal the key.

I hope/expect them to do something like an open beta eventually, but they probably plan on starting out slowing and giving more and more out.

I went to the link that in the blog to 'get on the list they'll be inviting from', which I'm pretty sure I've done before. After signing in and all through steam I get the following underneath all the prize pictures:

Dota 2 is coming to steam
Interested in the upcoming beta?
Thank you. We will contact you with info about your status as we get closer to the BETA.

So I'm assuming it's showing that because I (think) did it before, but other people would get a link to signing up for the beta?

On the other hand Div2 Teams don't get invites >.<

It makes me a little bit mad

Does this mean they've started giving out beta keys to random people? Or is your roommate someone who plays competitive?

No--according to Icefrog's blog, it's still the same invite policy as before until they fix the most major issues

Dota 2 to be released earlier than expected: Valve Software has plans to launch Dota 2 in some form much sooner than originally intended. "We're going to take the current version of Dota 2, which has The International set of heroes, and get it out there as fast as we can," project lead Abdul "Icefrog" Ismail said in a Dota 2 blog post.

The team had originally planned on "adding new features and slowly growing the number of heroes until we reached a level of parity with Dota 1" before launching the pseudo-sequel, but is moving the launch up in order to satisfy player demand. Regular post-launch updates are still planned.

Icefrog additionally notes that the game will remain "invite only" for the time being, though he's hoping to minimize that period. It's still unclear whether Dota 2 will launch as a free-to-play title like competitor League of Legends, but it seems we'll find out much sooner than later.

I think people are misinterpreting the wording in icefrogs post. When he says he wants to "Get the game out there" he is talking about moving to open beta faster, as well as lifting the NDA much faster than they had planned. Both of these things qualify as getting the game out there, there's no reason to jump to the conclusion he's talking about releasing the game earlier. I'm sure they will not be releasing the game until all features they'd originally planned on are fully implemented

Yeah I think that's the point actually. A lot of games were bashed and actually failed because od being buggy/ unfinished on release. Valve is not a developer that makes such games AFAIK.

Still it's good to hear things are speeding up, faster beta might ultimately lead to faster realese if we give good enough feedback :D

Exactly, you get the message if you are already signed for it.
