GLaDOS Becomes a Dota 2 Announcer on Monday
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2013 3:12 pm
On Monday, September 23, Dota 2 will be introducing a major update which, among other things, will allow players to begin using the voice of Portal antagonist GLaDOS as an announcer.
With the release of The First Blood Update, the Portal Pack will be made available for purchase. The pack includes Aperture Science Wardcores and a Portal HUD skin, neither of which will be sold separately. The GLaDOS announcer pack, first announced last month, will also begin being sold through the in-game store, where you can already find other game-themed announcer packs, such as the Bastion, Dr. Kleiner (from Half-Life 2), and Defense Grid packs.
The First Blood Update contains more than just Portal-themed items for you to buy. Support for local play, so that you can set up a local lobby and play with nine friends over a local network, is being added, and the Backpack is being replaced by the Armory, which Valve says will be easier to navigate. It also introduces Captain's Draft, described as such: "Gather a team, choose a captain, and face off against your opponents in a test of wits to assemble a squad from a randomized pool of twenty-four heroes. Each team takes turns banning two of the available heroes from the match while picking and counter-picking to compose their lineup before charging into battle."
