The first Dota 2 gameplay refresh since TI9 has been released for Dota 2 with the release of the new 7.22G patch.
The International 9 was won by OG in Shanghai on August 25th and, while teams have been busy shuffling their rosters, fans have been eagerly awaiting updates to the game as well as news of the 2019-20 DPC season.
At least they now have something to chew on with the release of a new patch - 7.22G, announced on the Dota 2 official blog on Friday, September 6th.
