No luck, just skill.

That's why you power your way towards scepter and let the good times roll.

If you even just get a x2 multicast, it's enough to put a severe dint in their health for your teammates to finish off / ignite to finish them off.

Buying items to customise your character is now in. Confirmation that all heroes will be free to play on release.

Kinda hope they release a beta item, to show those who have been in the beta after the game is released.

Me and some mates are hoping to get featured on either the fail of the week or play of the mate videos.

We did a Pudge, Kunkka, Chen semi trilane (Chen in the jungle) and when we hit lvl 3 we started trying to fountain hook with chen's E spell on pudge, and then we put x-mark the spot from Kunkka on Pudge, so that he got pulled back in the lane again afterwards. It resulted in a lot of fails, and some epic fountain hooks, where pudge was back in the lane again before the enemy hero hit our fountain

So, the shop it technically in the game, but you can't buy anything yet. Battle points have been turned on, so now you can work on that with games.

Rumour has it that Tobi has done an announcers pack. I'm thinking it'll be both bad and good.

Edit: Mini patch after the main patch enabled it.

Just had a look through the shop then. Some of it is pretty neat, but I don't think I could really justify spending money on the game just yet.
Curious as to what exactly this 'early access' thing gives you. It's quite vague and only really tells you about the other items you get. Any ideas?

I'd assume its similar to pre-order, but for a free game, so your normal bonuses
-Early/beta access, some DLC-content (Skins/other stuff).

Iirc you could pay to get into tribes beta, and you got a heap of bonuses too (Extra XP, in-game "gold" etc)

EDIT : From in-game
"This bundle contains a tradable [b] Dota 2 Early Access Pass [b] a Mighty boar courier , and a full set of items for sven and axe!"

All up - Mighty Boar, Stoic mask of the high plains, wolf cape of the high plains, aspect wraps of the high plains, long-fang the grey blade, tayrnhelp of the swordmaster, girth of the swordmaster (giggity), fluted guard of the swordmaster + grip of the swordmaster. + DOTA 2 key

Seems a bit silly that they would charge you $40 for something like that. It would be cheaper to buy the items individually and just find a key for the game on TF2Outpost or some crap, right?
Anyway, I like the new cosmetics system.

not everyone knows about tf2outpost, and trusting randoms with real-cash trades is always a bit iffy, better to buy strwaight off steam if you really want it i think.

We didn't make it in the top 10 plays of the week this week, gotta try again next week

This time we have to do 2 fountain hooks with x-mark the spot in a row!

Didn't make a video off it, just have the replay

I can ask one of the other guys to make a video of it, since I don't have any editing programs on this pc, and my other one is back home in Norway.

The East qualifiers are going on now for the International 2.

Tobi is streaming them @ http://www.joindota.com/en/live/tobiwan ~MiTH vs Mski first, he's switching to the western qualifiers whent hey start in 5 hours.

More importantly though, you can watch it In-game (6 minute delay), with the Casters audio & view available. (as in, you can listen to the casters in the game)
In the "Watch" menu just filter by tournament, games will be there ^_^

6/6/12

Note: This update won't be pushed to the main Dota 2 client until the Wild Cards qualifiers are done. We expect this to be on Monday. To distract you from this fact, here are three heroes!

GAMEPLAY
- Added Chaos Knight, Phantom Assassin, and Gyrocopter!
- Drow: Fixed Frost Arrows not working on mechanical units.
- Morphling: Added effects for strength and agility morph as well as an overhead timer for replicate.
- Nature's Prophet: Fixed Sprout destroying other trees around it.
- Shadow Demon: Fixed Soul Catcher being dispellable.
- Shadow Demon: Fixed Shadow Poison impact damage not hurting Disrupted units (and thus not disabling Blink).
- Fixed targeted spells not temporarily revealing the attacker.
- Fixed Orb of venom working on denies.
- Fixed the following spells being castable on magic immune allies: Nightmare, Frost Armor, Nature's Guise, Holy Persuasion, Decrepify, Astral Imprisonment, Shadow Word and X Marks The Spot

UI
- Selecting "Equip" on an item in the backpack now flips to the loadout and automatically does the equipping for you.
- Added support for watching replays via URL. For example, "dota2://matchid=15478&matchtime=300" will go directly to five minutes into match 15478.
- Added button in replay panel to copy an URL into the clipboard that can be used to get back to that point in that replay.
- Added Hall of Fame trophies to the bases. Clicking on them will display the winning teams of The International.

DOTA 2 BOTS
- Made bots not leave a gank if they currently have the ability to reincarnate and allies are still attacking.
- Fixed bug where bots would pick their heroes before humans locked in their picks.
