The International 2019 Collector's Cache
July 13, 2019

The International 2019 Collector's Cache returns for another round, featuring multiple items from this year's Call to Arms as well as some hidden workshop gems for a span of favorite heroes—including a Rare set for Necrophos, a Very Rare set for Ember Spirit, and an Ultra Rare set for Juggernaut.
Available now for $2.49, unboxing thirteen of these treasures will automatically grant you thirty-two Battle Levels, and the odds of receiving a bonus rare item increase with each one you open. You can also recycle any unwanted sets for two Battle Levels.
Volume II of the Collector's Cache will only be available for the next thirty days and is the only way to receive these exclusive item sets, apart from the Ultra Rare Juggernaut set which will be marketable near the end of 2020 after next year's tournament concludes. As is tradition, 25% of each sale contributes directly to The International prize pool.
Once again, we'd like to thank all of the community artists who tendered submissions to the Dota 2 Workshop, as well as the entire Battle Pass community for your support.
The Summer Scrub
July 11, 2019

The sun is shining, the creeps are marching, and it's the perfect time to open up the proverbial windows and give the Dota world a healthy scrub. To that effect, we'll be working on an update focused on bug fixes that should help get the lanes in good shape as we head into the final stretch before The International.
To assist in our efforts, we'd love the Dota community to put on your bug-hunting hats and sound off on any bugs you've encountered during your games. While we will be primarily looking for bug reports, we are also interested in adding some quality-of-life improvements, so if you have any ideas please don't hesitate to share.
Up next for the Battle Pass, we are aiming to ship the Kid Invoker Hero Persona with next Friday's update on the 19th.

Special Battle Pass Event and Immortal Treasure II
July 06, 2019

Wrath of the Mo'rokai
Deep in the jungles of Fellstrath, the ruins of an ancient civilization lie hidden beneath tangled canopy and creeping vine. In today's update, all Battle Pass owners can choose to queue up to face the Wrath of the Mo'rokai, as two ancient guardians rise from slumber to wreak havoc on the age-old battle of the Ancients.
To join the battle at full strength, the Mo'rokai require tributes of essence that will help them reclaim dormant abilities and greatly aid those who fight by their sides. Players can gather essence from slain enemies and other caches around the Dota map to guide which arcane powers the Mo'rokai develop. When the Mo'rokai march into the lanes, choose your strategy wisely to make the most of your new ally. The Mo'rokai are powerful, but even they are emboldened with friendly heroes nearby.
Work together with your Mo'rokai to destroy the enemy Ancient and you'll earn 250 Battle Points for each victory, up to a weekly total of 2000 points. You'll also have the chance to unearth special Battle Point bonus bundles throughout the game to split with your team. Each week will offer one chance to win with a Battle Point bonus active that will net you 1000 points for the victory. Your weekly point total and number of bonus games will increase as you raise your Battle Level—reaching level 150 will bestow a 3000 point cap with two weekly bonus games and level 252 will increase the total to 4000 points with three weekly bonus games.
All of your Battle Pass features are active while playing Wrath of the Mo'rokai, so don't hesitate to take a Jungle Expedition or Daily Challenge hero into battle or sound off to friends and enemies with your favorite chat wheel lines.
Immortal Treasure II
To help welcome the Mo'rokai to the fight, Immortal Treasure II is also now available, featuring all-new items for Dazzle, Timbersaw, Grimstroke, Pugna, Warlock, and Luna.
In addition, each of these treasures that you open also offers increasing odds of receiving a rare demonic mane for Lion, a very rare Golden version of the Luna or Timbersaw items, or an ultra rare celestial mantle for Ember Spirit. There's also the cosmically rare chance to discover the Overgrown Emblem custom hero effect.
All Battle Pass owners can find an Immortal Treasure II ready to unbox in the Armory, and you can earn more treasures by increasing your Battle Level. Check out a preview of the new items and custom effects from today’s treasure over on the Battle Pass page.
To help players enjoy more time in the jungles of Fellstrath on the hunt to earn ever more treasure, we'll be extending this year's Battle Pass features for two additional weeks after the conclusion of The International Grand Finals.

Dota 2 Update - June 28th 2019
June 29, 2019
Earlier today we disabled a loophole that allowed players to purchase two of the Weekend Bundle rather than just one. Enough people exploited this loophole that we have decided that, for the next 24 hours only, we will give a chance for players who did not exploit it to also buy up to two bundles total within the client directly.
Dark Willow Announcer Pack
June 26, 2019

Today's update unleashes the new Dark Willow Announcer Pack, available to all Battle Pass owners who flutter to Battle Level 75 and above.
Featuring the voice of the inimitable Mireska Sunbreeze, this pack replaces the default announcer and mega-kill exclamations with the rogue fae's take on every game, helping ensure you'll never miss your mark in battle again.
Eligible players can claim the pack from the Battle Pass rewards line, and once unbundled, you can equip the announcer and mega-kills from the Global Items menu in the Heroes tab.
Today's update also includes several fixes that we've identified to improve performance in the game client.
In other Battle Pass news, we're nearly complete with work on Immortal Treasure II and the Wrath of the Mo'rokai special event, and expect to unveil both next week.
