Today's update rolls out the new Kunkka & Tidehunter Announcer Pack, available to all Battle Pass owners who raise their Battle Level to 75 or above. Featuring the voices of both the seadog Admiral and the lurking Leviathan, this pack replaces the default announcer and mega-kill exclamations with a pair of naval nemeses who always bring the right kind of salt into each game.
You can equip the announcers from the Global Items menu in the Heroes tab, and any players who already claimed the bundle from their rewards line can find the now-unlocked item waiting to be opened and equipped in the Armory.
In other news, the Regional Qualifiers have concluded, and we're just six weeks away from crowning a new champion at The International. Congratulations to all eighteen teams that will make the journey to Seattle. Check out the full list of this year's competitors on the tournament invites page.
Dota is a competitive game of action and strategy, played both professionally and casually by millions of passionate fans worldwide. Players pick from a pool of over a hundred heroes, forming two teams of five players. Radiant heroes then battle their Dire counterparts to control a gorgeous fantasy landscape, waging campaigns of cunning, stealth, and outright warfare.
Irresistibly colorful on the surface, Dota is a game of infinite depth and complexity. Every hero has an array of skills and abilities that combine with the skills of their allies in unexpected ways, to ensure that no game is ever remotely alike. This is one of the reasons that the Dota phenomenon has continued to grow. Originating as a fan-made Warcraft 3 modification, Dota was an instant underground hit. After coming to Valve, the original community developers have bridged the gap to a more inclusive audience, so that the rest of the world can experience the same core gameplay, but with the level of polish that only Valve can provide.
Get a taste of the game that has enthralled millions.
