The International 2026
Every year, dedicated Dota players around the globe join together and train relentlessly with a single goal in mind: to battle through the highest levels of opposition and emerge victorious as the last squad standing. These resolute competitors must find a way to intertwine the strands of talent, dreams, and sacrifice into one immortal design, knowing every challenge, every choice, every risk pulls the pattern tighter, and every mistake they make threatens to tear it all apart. The final threads of this year's competitive season will cross in China, as the 15th Anniversary of The International welcomes the best Dota teams in the world to face off for the Aegis of Champions on August 20-23 at the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai . The sixteen teams contending for the Aegis will consist of rosters that earn direct invites and those that arise from the Open Qualifiers (June 9-12) and the Regional Qualifiers (June 15-28). Once the action moves to Shanghai, the teams must fight through a Swiss-style Group Stage (August 13-16) to secure one of eight slots at the main event. Make sure to check back for more information on ticketing as we approach the showdown in Shanghai. For now, there's already a ton of pro Dota heating up the calendar [liquipedia.net] , and it will only get more intense as we weave further into the year. Tune in as teams battle across all regions to prove they deserve a chance to stand amongst the world's finest on Dota's biggest stage.

Dota 2 Update - 1/30/2026
Over the past few days we've addressed the following issues: Fixed a bug where Clinkz's Skeleton Archers were doing more than the intended amount of damage to buildings. Fixed a bug where Slark's Depth Shroud was not applying the intended move speed and health regen to allies. Fixed a bug where Spectre's Shadow Step had an interaction with attack range extension items, which was leading to a longer than intended duration. Fixed a bug where Muerta's Gunslinger bonus damage talent did not scale when applied to illusions, leading to more damage than intended. Fixed a bug where Turbo games would sometimes deduct 2 gold on ban phase completion. Fixed Largo's Croak of Genius damage proccing other abilities (Batrider's Sticky Napalm, Searing Signet, etc.) Fixed a performance issue with network encoding which substantially reduces the number of 'server hitch' frames. Restructured how cosmetic items interact with Dota network traffic: Most cosmetic items now take zero network bandwidth after game start, improving both client and server performance. Fixed a bug where cosmetic items were being created every time a hero spawned, gradually reducing performance. Items equipped in only ability effects slots no longer appear as if equipped on the hero in post-game or MVP screens.

Introducing Largo and Patch 7.40
Dota is an ensemble cast, but keen observers looking through the collection of rogues, wizards, druids, and knights (not to mention two characters named "ranger") may have noticed the absence of that most maligned of hero classes: the bard. At least, up until now. Introducing Dota's newest hero: Largo, the bard. Unlike bards with your traditional bard powers (singing about current events and chord changes), Largo is the shamanic head of the bardmonk order. He tailors every song to his exact circumstances, raising his allies' spirits or, if necessary, their foot speed as they run toward battle (or away). As a frog, his prehensile tongue has, shall we say, all kinds of tricks. You can read a little about his past , or you can help explore his future in Dota right now. Today's update also includes gameplay patch 7.40 . (As is tradition, the patch notes are too long to fit in this blog, so we made a whole site to hold them and show some highlights.) Largo is taking over the main menu in Dota for a bit, but the Monster Hunter event is still ongoing and there's plenty of time left to craft whatever you're working towards. Since it's the holidays, we're putting the Dota 2 x Monster Hunter Expedition Pack on sale and granting everyone who owned it already a special early-purchase voucher material bundle. On top of that, we're giving everyone who logs in over the holidays a free bundle of crafting materials. Happy hunting! Speaking of holiday festivities, some of the usual shenanigans have made their reappearance, reminding us all of the true spirit of the holidays: pelting your enemies in the face with snowballs. We hope everybody in the Dota community has a safe and happy holiday, and we'll see you next year.

Pragmata Review - Capcom's Next Great Franchise
You don't see games like Pragmata very often. Big-budget single-player shooters aren't as common as they once were, and even more rarely do they launch new franchises. They often come with trade-offs--a game might nail the fundamentals, or have some surprising new hook, or have a resonant story, but rarely do you get all of them at once. Pragmata is the tota

Pokemon Champions Review - The Battle Frontier
Pokemon's turn-based combat can be best described as an inch wide and a mile deep. Its rock-paper-scissors style is easy to understand, but below the murky surface lies an entirely different game.

We’ve all been eagerly waiting to return to Racoon City. So when Resident Evil Requiem was announced you could almost taste the collective mixture of excitement and dread. The iconic survival horror series is back for another bite, this time putting curious but wholly unprepared intelligence agent Grace Ashcroft in the middle of its blood-soaked investigation. You’ll also be slipping back into the shoes of returning RE icon Leon S. Kennedy. With the freedom to choose between first and third-person viewpoints as you play, Capcom is promising classic chills that will get right up in your face, and more than likely inside some zombie guts, too.

The International 2026
Every year, dedicated Dota players around the globe join together and train relentlessly with a single goal in mind: to battle through the highest levels of opposition and emerge victorious as the last squad standing. These resolute competitors must find a way to intertwine the strands of talent, dreams, and sacrifice into one immortal design, knowing every challenge, every choice, every risk pulls the pattern tighter, and every mistake they make threatens to tear it all apart. The final threads of this year's competitive season will cross in China, as the 15th Anniversary of The International welcomes the best Dota teams in the world to face off for the Aegis of Champions on August 20-23 at the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai . The sixteen teams contending for the Aegis will consist of rosters that earn direct invites and those that arise from the Open Qualifiers (June 9-12) and the Regional Qualifiers (June 15-28). Once the action moves to Shanghai, the teams must fight through a Swiss-style Group Stage (August 13-16) to secure one of eight slots at the main event. Make sure to check back for more information on ticketing as we approach the showdown in Shanghai. For now, there's already a ton of pro Dota heating up the calendar [liquipedia.net] , and it will only get more intense as we weave further into the year. Tune in as teams battle across all regions to prove they deserve a chance to stand amongst the world's finest on Dota's biggest stage.

Fixed a bug where Slark's Depth Shroud was not applying the intended move speed and health regen to allies.

Fixed Largo's Croak of Genius damage proccing other abilities (Batrider's Sticky Napalm, Searing Signet, etc.) Fixed a performance issue with network encoding which substantially reduces the number of 'server hitch' frames.

Introducing Largo and Patch 7.40
Dota is an ensemble cast, but keen observers looking through the collection of rogues, wizards, druids, and knights (not to mention two characters named "ranger") may have noticed the absence of that most maligned of hero classes: the bard. At least, up until now. Introducing Dota's newest hero: Largo, the bard. Unlike bards with your traditional bard powers (singing about current events and chord changes), Largo is the shamanic head of the bardmonk order. He tailors every song to his exact circumstances, raising his allies' spirits or, if necessary, their foot speed as they run toward battle (or away). As a frog, his prehensile tongue has, shall we say, all kinds of tricks. You can read a little about his past , or you can help explore his future in Dota right now. Today's update also includes gameplay patch 7.40 . (As is tradition, the patch notes are too long to fit in this blog, so we made a whole site to hold them and show some highlights.) Largo is taking over the main menu in Dota for a bit, but the Monster Hunter event is still ongoing and there's plenty of time left to craft whatever you're working towards. Since it's the holidays, we're putting the Dota 2 x Monster Hunter Expedition Pack on sale and granting everyone who owned it already a special early-purchase voucher material bundle. On top of that, we're giving everyone who logs in over the holidays a free bundle of crafting materials. Happy hunting! Speaking of holiday festivities, some of the usual shenanigans have made their reappearance, reminding us all of the true spirit of the holidays: pelting your enemies in the face with snowballs. We hope everybody in the Dota community has a safe and happy holiday, and we'll see you next year.

We’ve all been eagerly waiting to return to Racoon City. So when Resident Evil Requiem was announced you could almost taste the collective mixture of excitement and dread. The iconic survival horror series is back for another bite, this time putting curious but wholly unprepared intelligence agent Grace Ashcroft in the middle of its blood-soaked investigation. You’ll also be slipping back into the shoes of returning RE icon Leon S. Kennedy. With the freedom to choose between first and third-person viewpoints as you play, Capcom is promising classic chills that will get right up in your face, and more than likely inside some zombie guts, too.
