Dota 2: V-day Gift or Signs of Open Beta?

Oh noes, another noob wave incoming.

I hate it when a multiplayer game that I play gets more players. That sucks so bad!!!

and isn't that it is more preferred that MP games have lots of player, because if not, the mp game will die out.

Gotta love dota community, so friendly it makes you wanna hug them and give them cookies

Hey! At this rate I might get to try out the game shortly :P

i still don't have a copy so. :(

The reason this happened is because the bot was handing out keys the minute that playdota started having server problems.

They also allowed more people to the draw it seems. Used to be December a while ago if I remember right.
"All accounts created before 02/12/2012 are now eligible for the draw."

From www.dota2.com : Our server deployment team has spent the last few months flying around the world setting up new server clusters to increase that capacity.
They are giving out more keys for the simple reason that they can.If valvE had the servers to sustain 100.000 people be sure that they would release 100k keys.Anyway,if you do get a key don't expect a perfect gameplay.They are still working on implementing all the heroes from Dota 1,and resolving major bugs.The matchmaking system is next to none,they just group together 10 players,regardless of skill.The one thing that is taken into account is the region.
L.E:Valve is saving up money using this method.Insead of hiring ~25.000(current people playing)beta testers and keep them on the payroll,they can make the whole Dota community the beta-testing team.

I cant seem to remember my info from years ago and now im screwed :(
I've got the worst luck like that.
