Game 2, Na'vi beat IG equally fast!

Jesus this is how DotA is made to be played!

DotA 2 adds a new game mode:  http://dota2.com/diretide/

Hilarious video, I laughed so hard when I first watched it:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrF8NNvO6Zw&feature=youtu.be

Yes, Roshan goes on a rampage and chases heroes around the map.

No, I'm not trolling.

Free in-game items just for playing, even if you don't win.

I love you Valve.

I assume Saxton Hale will be on the case shortly.  He couldn't pass up a fight like that.

Does anyone need a DotA 2 beta key?  I have "friends" with extras.

My wife and I would play with bots vs. bots occasionally if we had beta keys, but it wouldn't be often so I don't know if that's Valve's intention for them ;)

I would like a key if you have extras. Will probably start practicing on bots and get into actual matches later.

Of course if anyone else wants one more that's fine. How many extras do you have to give out?
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

If you guys PM me your Steam IDs (including your wife's Keith), I'll see if I can get you some keys.

Alright, the 3 key requests have gone out.  Hopefully you'll get the keys within the next 24 hours; if not, let me know.

I haven't checked my wife's account, but my steam account appears to be professing ignorance of this "key" I'm asking it about.  Is there a particular place I should be looking?  Thanks :)

Mine appeared in my gift inventory and had the associated email and popup notifications.

Ah yea, none of those happened here :)

Probably some nefarious AI plot.
