Below are some related screenshots. Look at the highlighted part. It says that DOTA 2 will be formally released later this summer, prior to the International tournament in August. In addition, a prediction is also made that the last two heroes to be added before release will be Abaddon and Legion Commander.

LGD.cn may lose chance of TI3 due to departure of LongDD

We reported before that LongDD had departed shortly after his joining in LGD.cn. Currently, LGD official hasn’t given any respond, yet insider reveals more explosive news.

 

Several commentators mentioned in Gamefy live yesterday that LGD may lose the chance of attending TI3 as an invited team. It’s said that LongDD’s departure has a lot to do with the disqualification of LGD.cn. VALVE have already sent invitation letters to related teams and they won’t bear the action of instant roster change. As a result, LGD will lose the precious chance, and they must compete fiercely in qualifiers if they still hope to head to Seattle and attend the event. This can be a tough challenge for LGD.cn. 

 

Regarding the current information, LongDD leaves the team due to his bad performance and he plans to stream and make videos instead. There’s no inside story. And LGD.cn will recruit sydm, the member of second team of VG to replace the role of LongDD based on the reveal of the commentator in Gamefy live.

LGD official haven’t given any respond to the news yet. Also, VALVE have not confirmed which team to replace LGD.cn and attend the event.
