IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING omg it looks amazing

Holy shit this is actually really nice!
Many things I like, but especially the "Playstyle" stats. It's really convenient if you want to improve your gameplay (assuming they work out a system that works)!

this timeline feed thing is such a good idea, no more waiting around awkwardly waiting for a game invite

Who is gonna guess how many people will opt in for the open beta next week?
with 10 million unique players, i'm guessing at least 65% will have be using the new client next week once it starts.
I'm guessing the open beta will run till after TI5 and then will become the standard.

Based Yames "2GD" Harding saving DOTA2.
Seriously, this look amazing, holy shit. Intrigued about the DOTATV changes, but more important, custom games.

Wow, I can't help but think how awesome and alive starcraft 2 would be if Blizzard listened to the community like Valve did.
I know LOTV is coming, but theres not much reason to be optimistic.
