The Fantasy Challenge returns for The Boston Major. Head into the Compendium section of your Battle Pass to unwrap your 12 Player Card Packs and start assembling your daily Fantasy Rosters. Slot your favorite pros into Core, Offlane, or Support roles, and earn fantasy points based on their performances in the Group Stage and Main Event.

Complete an entire set of Player Cards for any pro team, and you can select to use that team's in-game TP effects and team logo emoticon. Collecting a full set of either Silver or Gold cards for a team will unlock upgrades to the TP effects and emoticon. Show off the favorites in your collection by adding Player Cards to your Dota 2 profile.

Fantasy play kicks off on December 3 with the start of the Group Stage in Boston, and daily rosters will lock at 10:00 a.m. EST on each day of the tournament. Score in the top 50% of all players to earn 2 Battle Levels, reach the top 25% to get 4 Battle Levels, or captain yourself to the top 10% to collect 8 Battle Levels. With the best pro players in the world at your disposal, you might even crack the Global Top 100 Leaderboard, or at least place first amongst friends.

Today's update also includes the addition of The International 2016 Battle Pass Summary to your player profile. Now you can survey the records of your Battle Level, Quest progress, Wagering and Battle Cup performance, Player Card collection, and more.

- Reports and Commends can now only be sent in the post-game screen.
- Fixed a problem with the attack-move command which sometimes caused more distant units to be targeted.

* You can no longer random in the last 10 seconds in Unranked or in the final pick per team in Ranked
* Repicking in Unranked now behaves the same as Ranked, giving you a new random hero rather than letting you pick a hero directly
* You will no longer have a chance of receiving the same hero after re-randoming
* Increased report sensitivity (making it more likely that a reported user will go into low priority)

The Boston Major is just one month away. Congratulations to the eight teams that battled through the Qualifiers to earn their places alongside the direct invites. While the attending teams and players make their final adjustments and preparations before traveling to Boston, we'd like to turn briefly to the remaining events in this year's Dota 2 Major Championships schedule.

THE SPRING MAJOR AND THE INTERNATIONAL 2017
The Spring Major Main Event will take place April 20 - 23, 2017, preceded by Open Qualifiers on March 6 - 9, and Regional Qualifiers on March 10 - 13. Wrapping up the competitive season, The International 2017 Main Event will once again be held in the first half of August, with Open Qualifiers running June 22 - 25, and Regional Qualifiers following on June 26 - 29.

For the Spring Major Qualifiers, we will be breaking the Americas Qualifiers into two distinct regions—North America and South America—and similarly changing the Europe Qualifiers into separate Europe Qualifiers and CIS Qualifiers.

THE BOSTON MAJOR

With an influx of up-and-coming rosters set to square off against the established teams in a single-elimination playoff bracket, all with their sights set on claiming the Eaglesong trophy, there's no telling how the action will unfold. Tune in for Group Stage play on December 3 - 4 followed by the Main Event on December 7 - 10 to find out.
