The highly awaited, anticipated and speculated event is a game mode in Dota 2. The Diretide game mode is one of the many limited time special events that has been released for Dota 2 over the years and was in fact one of the first to be released way back in 2012. Since then the community on reddit blows up, every year around this time fans would constantly spam Valve, and car manufacturer Volvo thanks to the Volvo Giff Diretide meme, for its return.
Dota 2 has declined in player count this year, valve has taken notice of this fact and why not try to bring back players who have stopped playing the game, and what better way to do that than bringing back the best game mode in the history of Dota 2.
What is Diretide Game mode, How to play it?
The mode sees players having to collect Halloween candy from around the map, and stopping opponents from grabbing it, all while continuing to play a normal game of Dota. Oh and Roshan is liable to attack you unless you feed him candy. The team with the most taffy at the end of the round wins and the first team to win 3 rounds claims victory.
Of course in the seven years since we saw Diretide Dota 2 has become a very different game, so Valve has updated the game mode significantly for its return. While the in-game action seems to be pretty much the same as it was all those years ago, the rewards you can earn have been totally overhauled.
