This was posted by the Dota Team today...

Quoted:

We got nothing (today)



We are working on a new update process that will allow us to build new features while minimizing the risk of destabilizing the game for everyone. To achieve this we are creating a new version of the game specifically for testing purposes. Everyone that has access to Dota 2 will find the new test version in their Steam games library, under the name "Dota 2 Test". Instead of releasing the new content directly to Dota 2 each week, we will put it on this Test version first, where we'll be monitoring it for any glaring issues. The week afterwards, we will update Dota 2 with the previous week's Test version (while also releasing more new content in the Test).

As a result of this, both versions of the game will be getting updated each week. If you want to help test the new content, or just try it out ahead of time, you can play on "Dota 2 Test". If you are more interested in stability and don't mind being a week behind on new content and features, then you can keep playing Dota 2 as normal.

Unfortunately, the switch from previous update process to this one has been a little tricky, as we get the back end set up for Test, so there will be no update today. We still hope to have an update ready in the next few days.

If the day should ever come when we must go, if some day we are compelled to leave the scene of history, we will slam the door so hard that the universe will shake and mankind will stand back in stupefaction.

I am not okay with this. It's a beta it is supposed to be unstable! And now we dilute the player pool even more! Just release the damn game!#@!@#@@#

Morphism, that is probably their intention :) Get a beta -> release system rolling, make everyone comfortable with it and iron out any technical issues... And then you are a step away from going public :)

In my opinion they should keep it closed for more time. There should be a lot of heroes and levels working before they sell it for huge moneys.

EDIT:

Also the ranked games should work and tutorial... A lot of content still not done.

So far all signs point to Free. Valve has yet to release an official statement though I think.
