Good. Leaves the rest of us a chance.
Hahahaha
However, it is still awesome that there even IS a comp. xD
This sounds dangerously close to a challenge.

surely not everyone has dota though? I know a new wave of people where let into the beta, but there's still a bunch waiting for keys.
shit got serious! =]
There's a free spectator client where you can go to the Workshop submission menus and go through the flow. I haven't tested it myself though, since I don't even know if I can get the spectator client already having the legit one. It's possible people without beta access can submit.
My personal take on this is that, it's fine. I love to see two of my favorite things come together, Polycount and Valve. It's great that the developers and community can team up like this.
However, I can't say I am super excited considering I've already been making dota 2 stuff for a few months and gotten a couple things in the game. Hopefully there's some kind of additional jazz. Otherwise, it just means more skillful artists populating the workshop to compete against.
In that way, it's a bit disappointing, I like the current open-season where there isn't a ton of prolific contributors making items. It could easily become futile like the TF2 workshop where less than 2% of all submissions get added to the game. Though, there's a lot of heroes to populate with stuff, and they've been adding items a lot more rapidly than TF2. I guess we'll see soon.
I'm awesome, XD they will pick the top 3.
In all seriousness this is a great idea either way, maybe they are just teasing us to see the reaction.
Time to work on a weapon for practice then, game on.
Somehow i hope it would be a prop or environment contest,
but i dont think this gonna happen
Woohoo what a great environment contest that would be :thumbup:
The contest will be that you redesign the entire theme of the map and the reward is a lifetime job at Valve.
They'll continue to add heroes into Dota2 after it's "release". Icefrog just added 2 new heroes into Dota a few days ago and those are going to be added into Dota2 so as he keeps doing that they'll keep being put into Dota2 as well.
Did you read the patch notes yesterday? The 6.75 Dota patch that was also added into Dota2 tweaked a lot of stuff on pretty much every hero. Lycan and Morph had nerfs, Sven and Sniper had buffs, etc. Here's a link to the patch notes.

I guess it's slightly off topic but meh, not much else going on in this thread yet.
but that is one thing that i like on dota, on steam games in general
on league of legend for example when you try to start the game you get the message that you need to update it
sometimes you want to play that time and dont want to wait
btw, if you want you can change that in the configuration on the steam =]
lol yep, how long ago was the last contest? so i know how we have to wait for the next.

you got a good point there
that is something that really needs
if you put in an application now you'll probably get an invite before the competition starts... took me like 5 days to get mine. (got it a week ago, and have been enjoying it ever since)
oh well, maybe the next comp.
I'll probably try and enter the comp though making swords is fun.
there's a spectator client. id imagine that'll work.
although like adam I have no idea
