Today Valve has announced DotA 2 reborn and wow all I can say is thank you Gaben and Icefrog. So this is not a new game but a new beta client that will be used for the implementation of Source 2.

This client does not only uses Source 2 but improves some major things like the Dashboard, custom game support and redesigned hero browser. In the next 3 weeks we will see what is new in this new client. This week it’s the Dashboard ,next week it’s custom game modes and the 3rd week is still unknown to us(༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Gif Pitlord).

Valve has this to say:

Everything in the dashboard has been completely redesigned utilizing a new UI framework, and the engine that powers the game has been fully replaced. On today’s update page we will be giving you a preview of the new interface. Early next week we’ll be talking about Custom Games, and later that week we’ll conclude with various details about the new engine and launch the open beta.

But be warned we are going back to Beta with this. So, lots of updates and some thing will not work yet until Valve decides to implement them.

The new dashboard:

This is just the tip of the pile so go check it out for yourself there is a lot of cool stuff you just can’t miss.
