Details Emerge on Valve’s Dota 2 Roster Stability Plans

by on July 20, 2015
 

Initial details regarding Valve’s plans for roster changes after The International have apparently been leaked to GosuGamers (and there was a whole Reddit thread about it.)

According to the leak teams must have a stable roster, with up to two standins, ready to go by September 1 this year if they wish to be invited to the first Dota 2 major that is set to take place in the Autumn. That is just three weeks after The International 5 concludes, meaning the traditional months long roster changes will hopefully be a thing of the past.

The rumour also suggests that Valve will be taking an active role in managing player transfers and December 4 was also mentioned as an important date, whether this will be the cut off point for the second major or related to a transfer window remains to be seen.

eSports! I joined God is a Geek all the way back in September 2013 and since then have spent most of my time on Dota 2, and occasionally posting the odd review, news article or totally wrong predictions for The International. When I am not playing Dota I can probably be seen watching some kind of strange eSport or begging for more Twitter followers (@MikeStubbsy if you are interested). Aside from GiaG I am a computing student, football coach and major Apple fanboy.
