Diretide:Happy Halloween

Diretide

Hello everyone and Happy Halloween! :D Our dear Valve, besides abruptly throwing us all out of our games for the game update, brings us the new Halloween Map!!! As if that was not enough, we also get a whole new "game", called, well you guessed it, Diretide!



Well, what do you think? Did you check the map yet? What about Diretide? Kinda lol mode, but did you like the idea? This opens doors for more "games" inside DOTA2, which if I may add is very very very interesting! :)

Whatever you do, take care and enjoy the good times!
