I like the art style, dunno what all the hate is about. I think it looks good.
Only really disliking UI atm, but that's by far the most minor aspect as far as i'm concerned

I think the UI will be improved, as we're basically seeing the last alpha build, right? | ||

The fact that some heroes are using their real names and some are using their second names show that they've already checked with the rights. Also they're Valve, I'm sure it crossed their mind. | ||

Like the improvements to Source, the Steamworks upgrades will be available to third-party developers who choose to use Valve's tools when Dota 2 launches in 2011. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/10/13/dota-2-announced-details.aspx i think it's past being an alpha build this is a closed beta, near the open beta. | ||

Na'Vi pretty much outclassed their group though, Scythe was the unknown factor but they showed that they're still as bad as when they left the scene. EHOME being the tryhard team they are will probably try to absorb any knowledge they can... and maybe get some sleep. Also Mith Trust making it 2-1 out of that group? MUFC was early on but M5? | ||

EHOME vs TyLoo and OK.Nirvana.Int vs IG are gonna be huge matchups judging from how they played today. MYM vs Navi is tricky, because MYM looked shaky vs M5, and it seems like Navi had the easiest group. | ||
