This indicates that DotA 2 beta development is already underway. Valve is slowly porting all the heroes, items, mehanics from Warcraft 3 – Dota. Seeing the frequency of updates above, we can really expect DOTA release date in November 2011. Soon after this information was released, Valve immediately removed the possible DotA 2 updates from Steampowered store, thanks to Dotallyrad who was keen to capture these updates at that moment!
