According to John Patrick Lowrie, a voice actor of DotA 2, Valve plans to release their upcoming MOBA game sometimes this Fall.

A total of 21 categories have been named, with the ceremony set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 19th, 2025.
Boris Bulj writes: At Hamburg’s Barclays Arena, eight of the top teams went head-to-head for the coveted trophy and a slice of the $2.6 million prize pool. The Grand Final at The International 2025, the crowd went wild as Team Falcons took the Aegis after a nail-biting showdown with Xtreme Gaming. Every fight had us on the edge of our seats—it’s a finale Dota 2 fans won’t forget anytime soon.

Even Gabe Newell isn't immune to being flamed in MOBAs
Sorry, couldn't hear you while you're bowing your head on your knees and delisting non-adult games that your master deemed they didn't like.
Yes, I'm sure the billionaire white male owner of the company who can close anyone's account really feels threatened.
Next tell me how brave Elon Musk is because he had to deal with someone telling him the Nazi's were actually the bad guys.
Valve time considered... Should still see 2011! :o
Yea, I expect that Gamescom will in fact be the start of the beta phase while this Autumn we will finally get our hands on the game.
Sounds good. If the rumors are true about it being free-to-play, I can see it becoming very successful. I never got into the DOTA type games but if this was ftp I would definitely get into it this time.
If this is true, 2011 is going to be a ridiculous year in gaming.
And by Fall, he means April 2012.
