And so many Dota 2 key give away on YouTube that requires you to subscribe their channel. This is a nice comment about Dota 2 give away on YouTube, he posted it in GosuGamers:

Posted by JoU.GoDz

Well I understand both sides; casters/sites want to promote their sites/streams etc using these keys, but the amount of effort gone into trying to get this betakey and the fact its basically a pyramid scheme where you try get subscribers and those subscribers get you even more subscribers take away from the actual caster/commentator providing content and earning those subscribers to some extent. With that said using the "hey i have betakeys to give away" to get people aware of your existence I think is a fine thing to do. People are more likely to find about you as a result of that. But the whole subscribe.. Oh and find me more subscribers not something I'm a fan of. But goodluck to Shitzke who is trying hard opening up his new streaming site and putting a lot of effort into the dota2 community.

If you have any information about Dota 2 key, you can share it in here by put your comment below. I really appreciate it. Beware of someone who have email matt_diamond@hotmail.ca or mtgo2k@hotmail.com because he is a Scammer! He sells Dota 2 key but he never send it to the buyer.

Dota 2 Information

Dota 2 will be very different with the previous version. Dota 2 is "stand alone" game, not a modification of Warcraft 3. No one knows when Dota 2 will be release. "We will distribute this game worldwide, and I think it can't be done until next year" Gabe Logan Newell, co-founder and managing director Valve Corporation said.

But, you can play Dota 2 Beta version if you're curious about this game. Newell also shared some change to Dota 2. One of the new changes is allow a player to tweak item or balancing skill of each hero. And the another change is likely to apply paid system to play this game.

"We haven't decide exact strategy for that, the problem is we must be carefully for applying that." Newell said.
