Valve goes on longest Dota 2 blog post hiatus since TI1 as community awaits battle pass

Valve’s Dota 2 blog has entered its longest silence since the game’s early days, sparking growing chatter among fans as they anticipate news about the The International 2025 battle pass.

According to a detailed community post on Reddit, it’s now been over 66 days since Valve last published a blog update, marking the longest gap since the very first post after The International (TI) 2011. That stretch, which ended with the iconic “Welcome to the Dota 2 blog” post, had a 273-day gap. Since then, the blog has maintained a relatively consistent rhythm, until now.
