And what better way of using this new feature than by following the new <a title="LD too" href="http://www.dota2.com/store/itemdetails/120653104" target="_blank">SEA League</a>? That GoDz guy is so dreamy.

 

We've also added All Random mode and tweaked Least Played to now hide a player's top 40 heroes.

And unlike last week, I will properly link to the <a title="I hope this woks" href="http://www.dota2.com/news/updates/">changelog </a>this time.
