Alors que la Dreamhack vient de se finir et que la sortie de Dota 2 a été annoncé pour cet été, Valve continue de mettre à jour son futur jeu. Au programme du patch de cette semaine, on notera l'introduction d'un système de guildes permettant de regrouper les joueurs et la préparation en vue de la mise en place de VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat), un système anti-triche de Valve.
