We aren't planning to have one big beta invite tomorrow. Right now the beta primarily consists of the tournament teams, Dota1 beta testers, and other players that might compete in upcoming events. We will gradually give access to more and more players over the coming weeks and months. The Dota2 development process, like with Dota1, is focused on getting incremental player feedback to help us prioritize features and functionality in the game. There won't be an immediate million person invite all at once, but rather a gradual buildup as we develop new features and test various aspects of the game in order to to make it an enjoyable experience for an expanding player base.

babishh Profile Joined September 2010 Canada 427 Posts #8 it has always been claimed that the first beta tester will need a high end pc, so yes you need a good pc to have the chance of getting into beta. i don't remember, when they opened the subscription during the international, did they scan the pc components through steam? twitch.tv/babishh

MavercK Profile Joined March 2010 Australia 16 Posts #10 dota2 isn't ready for low end systems

they dont have any of the low detail settings implemented yet.

so while they aren't exactly selecting by hardware.

low end systems will probably make you illegible Brood War Remake - SC2BW - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145316

There is no low quality settings in the beta apparently, they said they will have low quality done by the end of the year There is no low quality settings in the beta apparently, they said they will have low quality done by the end of the year

Btw, there was an interview with SGC.Tonicek(was on gamescom), who said that those leaked system requirements are more or less correct. super gg

Orly? I play Steam on 2 different computers... One computer is awesome I play high end games on and the other one is well crap that I play low end games on....



Either way Icefrog is going the right way about doing the dota invites. Giving it to those that can help him the most first, and slowly giving it to the general public after. Orly?
