IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

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

It's really weird to see complaints about TCG's being pay to win. That's basically their nature. Hearthstone is more accesible than any regular TCG if you don't pay anything as well and it would really not work if everything was unlocked at the start.

Apparently Valve is updating the standard map, Cyborgmatt tweeted some pictures. Hope this wasn't already mentioned, I might have lost it in the talk about hots.

lol@ the special "please cut me down I'm a jukespot" trees

Overall it looks quite good, I think its just a matter of time before volvo starts selling mapskins.

I wonder if they can do mapskins without reworking a lot of stuff. Would have been much easier than forcing people to decide which map to queue for in events.

Can anyone make original screenshots in the same place as I cannot spot any differences and don't have access to Dota? Thanks ahead.

I thought the map already looked a bit crisper than before since a few updates back, some brighter lighting.

I don't see anything different on cyborgmatt's screens, not without a comparison screen at least.

-e- I'm comparing with my ingame and every detail is the same, just the lighting is warmer in cyborgmatt's screen.

That should be really good, looking forward to it. ESL has been awkwardly quiet recently, now that I see it. How exactly does intel extreme masters work? Is it just bigger stage, higher prizepool, more teams, or?

Also, to get back to hots a bit, this just popped up on my twitter feed: + Show Spoiler +

What's the deal with the "no steam logon" disconnects? Is there a fix?
