maybe because it hasn't progressed to the point where they're ready to have a press release?

Which means they haven't been working on it enough.

To be fair, they announced Half Life Ep 3 a hell long ago.

bump.
dota2 unveiling kicked off with tourney

some good stuff.
i like the new art style, though i don't think everyone will.. it's a little lacklustre for the amount of time they worked on it. personally i prefer the simple-ish UI, creeps, heroes, etc, but some people might've been expecting more.

you woke up early to watch it?

anyways, I do like the graphics since all "RTS" styled games (yes I know it's not an RTS, but it branched off the genre) have this cartoon looking graphic basis that seems to have been the norm.

The UI is really bad, I hope it's just a placeholder UI since it is the alpha version after all. The minimap is pretty confusing, I like the icons from LoL much better since it's clearer
Map could also be a bit brighter, but maybe that's just the stream

yeah ui seems a little underdeveloped, hopefully it'll change a bit.
if it doesn't, well... i could live with it.
