There are just eight spaces left for other rosters trying to earn their tickets to Seattle in October with TI12 just around the corner and 12 teams having committed to competing.
Those last six TI qualifiers, which will match the last teams from every region's Dota Pro Circuit league against one another, will determine which teams get those remaining invitations based on regional performance. While Western Europe and China will send an extra two participants to Dota's largest stage, four regions are giving away one ticket each.
As some teams reorganize their lineups in front of the TI qualifiers, which begin in certain areas on August 17, you can already feel the effects of preparation on those teams, but at least they are aware that Valve won't be releasing a brand-new patch during the tournament this time.
Late yesterday, Valve released update 7.33e, effectively wiping out many of the heroes that had been dominating the Bali Major and pubs for the previous several weeks. Additionally, the devs declared that version 7.34 will be available before TI qualifications in less than a month.
Since Valve previously spent a full 239 days between versions 7.32 and 7.33—the longest patch hiatus in Dota 2 history—players should also be pleased to see a complete numbered upgrade arriving barely four months after the last one.
No information was provided on what would be in update 7.34, although Valve has said that after shifting away from the battle pass system, its releases will be more substantial and diverse. Even the 10th Anniversary stuff the creators have been hinting about may be seen.
One of the most popular loyalty features on the platform is the KeyDrop Daily Case, which gives users the opportunity to obtain skins, gold, or account balance every day without making a direct purchase. But the system is controlled by particular XP levels, cooldown timers, and verification procedures; it's not just a "click and win" button.
This guide covers how the Daily Case system operates, why your case could be locked, and how to get the most out of your prizes as you advance through the KeyDrop levels.
KeyDrop has established itself as a titan in the CS2 case-opening space, but with millions of dollars in skins changing hands daily, skepticism is natural. Users often find themselves asking: Is KeyDrop legit, and is KeyDrop safe to use for their Steam inventory?
Operating since 2018, KeyDrop has amassed over 12 million users and maintains a massive community presence. While it is a legitimate platform with a valid license and verifiable fairness tools, it is not "risk-free" in the sense of guaranteed profit. In this guide, we provide an evidence-based analysis of KeyDrop’s reputation, security protocols, and common misconceptions.
