GAMEPLAY

- Lich: Fixed Chain Frost being dodge-able.
UI
- The buyback button is no longer shown when the hero is reincarnating.

- Fixed misaligned tooltips in the combine tree.
- Pennants now work for any game that's part of a tournament.
- New broadcaster select dialog.
- Added animated Firstblood, killstreaks and multikills notifications.
- Reduced opposing-team pause resume time down to 5 seconds (from 30 seconds). It remains 30 seconds if a player is disconnected.
- The top bar healthbars now show up any time a player is spectating.
- Fixed issues with the featured hero in the profile not showing the right hero, or not animating after toggling the dashboard.
- Stackable items now have their sellback time expired when they are stacked by a movement inside the inventory.
- The suggested items tab is now reloaded after a player swaps heroes with someone else.
- Added hero filter to live games list.
VISUALS
- Added a effect that plays the whole time Keeper's Mana Leak is active on a target, not just when the target moves.
- Player's chosen team pennant will display in the fountain area.
DOTA 2 BOTS
- Added Lich bot.
- Added Death Prophet bot.
- Added Viper bot.
- Bots will now select heroes their teammates have suggested in the hero picker.
- Increased the radius and strength of fountain avoidance.
- Tuned the strength of bots desire to place a ward, they should be somewhat more cautious about it now.
- Bots now wait 15 seconds after hero-picking to spring into action. This gives players the opportunity to buy their own couriers, if they want.
- Bots will no longer try to TP out of a fight if they're currently visible to the enemy team.
- Bots now try to path through FoWed areas when retreating.
- Bots now pay attention to multiple pings, and will use them to strengthen their desire to attack a hero, defend a lane, or push a lane.
- Bots that are disabled due to missing players on the opposing team are now also invulnerable so they cannot be farmed.
- Supports will now defer last-hitting to non-supports in their lane.
- Bots on easier difficulty levels will now be worse at retreating out of a gank.
- Fixed bug with the avoidance of Dark Seer's wall (only half the wall was being avoided).
- Slightly increased sticktoitiveness of bots overall, but moreso for medium and easy bots.
- Made Tiny bot less likely to Avalanche when retreating (so it's harder to harass him into using all his mana).

Day 3 Begins
Here is the breakdown of the day.
We start with a best of three match between iG and DK. Both of these teams were sent down to the Loser Bracket by Na’Vi and now one of them is going to get their chance at redemption. The winner of this match heads to the Loser Bracket finals.
The second match of the day is a best of three match between the undefeated machine of LGD and the always unpredictable Na’Vi. This is the first meeting between these two teams at the International. LGD has won every match of this event 2-0 and while Na’Vi struggled during the Preliminaries, they have come back at the main event to win all their matches 2-1. The winner of this match heads on to the Championship, the loser goes to the Loser Bracket finals.
The Loser Bracket final is our third match of the day. It is another best of three with one team coming off the momentum of a win and the other a rough loss. The winner of this match goes on to the Championship match.
The Championship is our only best of five match and will decide who wins the one million dollar prize.
The TLDR version – Four teams are still in it – iG, LGD,DK, and Na’Vi – anyone of them can still win it all. Watch it here, participate here.
