DotA 2 Release Gets Fast-Tracked

DotA 2 developer IceFrog and Valve have revised their release schedule and are now looking to release the game 'as fast as they can'.

The news comes in a post by IceFrog on the official DotA 2 blog which says that

the initial idea of spending over a year prepping the game "was dumb".

"Our original plan was to spend the next year or so in beta, adding new features and slowly growing the number of heroes until we reached a level of parity with Dota 1, at which point we'd release Dota 2 to the world," says the post.
