ImageDid you hear? Valve have announced a release of one of the most expected patches during last month. Three heroes at once will join the battlefields of Dota 2.

Lots of Dota 2 fans woke up happy and upset at the same time in the morning of the 7th of June : Chaos Knight, Phantom Assassin and Gyrocopter were added to the regular Dota 2 patch with a little note left by IceFrog :

"This update won't be pushed to the main Dota 2 client until the Wild Cards qualifiers are done. We expect this to be on Monday. To distract you from this fact, here are three heroes!"


By the way, new update contains a lot of interesting features. For example, clicking on a little shield, which is put inside the fountains of both teams, displays a hall of fame called “Aegis of Champions”, showing current International champion, UA Natus Vincere
