October 2026
Knowledge Gym
- —New Knowledge Gym — learn Dota the way you’d learn a language: items, heroes, abilities, talents, timings, matchups, builds and esports, with every fact checked against two independent sources.
- —Training uses spaced repetition, a science-backed memory method: cards come back right before you’d forget them, and you rate each answer Hard, Good or Easy. Prefer to just play? The endless Quiz covers any category — a hero, your hero pool, a matchup, items or the latest patch changes.
- —Test yourself: a Daily Challenge that’s the same for everyone, and Survival with three lives and a shrinking clock.
- —Live multiplayer — duels and parties of up to five, the same questions at the same time, with matchmaking, rated seasons and medals.
- —A knowledge leaderboard, badges, and a Gym section on your profile with your streak, activity and recent games. A “How it works” page explains every rule and score.
- —New loading screens with Dota art and a fact to read while you wait; match analysis shows its progress step by step, and the “notify me” alert now arrives when your results are actually on screen.
- —A refreshed homepage, and your account is now one click away from every page.

Accounts & profiles

- —New profile page — set your display name, manage your password, and link your Steam account.
- —Link Steam once and your recent matches show up on your profile and the homepage whenever you’re signed in.
- —When a match data source is temporarily down, we now tell you so and ask you to retry, instead of failing with a generic error.
