New Version, New Hero (Request Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

At exactly twelve o'clock, DOTA's new version finished updating.

Many players logged into the game one after another to check out the contents of this update.

This version update actually came as a bit of a surprise to many players.

Although it happened to be during the New Year period, DOTA itself had only been out for a short time.
