I think the screenshot is from someone using the leaked files which contain the whole copy of the leaker's Steam folder, and showing ( somehow ) that the Steam account included in the torrent belongs to that Vietnamese guy, thus that guy is the leaker.
All of the common game modes from Dota Allstars are carried forward into Dota 2 without any changes, with the exception of -dm Death Match mode, which has been renamed to Death Mode. The other game modes don’t appear in the localisation strings.
All Pick: Everyone may pick from all available heroes
Single Draft: Three different heroes are offered to each player
All Random: Every player gets a random hero
Random Draft: Choose from 22 random heroes
Captains Draft: Captains alternate 1/1/1/1 ban picks. It then goes into a 1/2/2/2/2/1 hero draft
Captains Mode: Each captain removes up to 4 heroes. After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase
Death Mode: If you die, you will have to pick a new hero once you can respawn
Easy Mode: Towers are weaker, experience is gained faster, and you get more periodic gold
Player Ranking
Quote:
Players will be ranked based on the ELO system. The ELO system is most well-known from its use in chess, and is a system that gives you a scaling number of points depending on the difficulty of your opponents. There is also a reference to “Karma”, which I can only guess to be some form of community ranking system.
Item Shop
Quote:
The localisation strings and other text also show strong signs that there will be custom wearable items included in Dota 2. These will be similar to Team Fortress 2 items, with provision for item levels, item rarity and item titles that changes as you gain number of kills built into the game.
One of the items specifically mentioned in the localisation strings are effects that will customise the look of hexes. You’ll be able to change them from the default of sheep to chicken, frog or a cheese (!). The files also make mention of custom weapons for the Antimage, custom shoulderpads for Beastmaster and a Top Hat for Axe (!).
Here are the relevant data I was able to find poking around in the strings files and other places:
Store Item Categories
New!
Bundles
Gear
Tools
Effects
Wearable Items
Weapon
Daggers
Glaives
Axes
Hat
Shoulder Guard
Bracer
Armor
Hair
Belt
Necklace
Mask
Cape
Boots
Gloves
Makeshift Prosthetic (Pegleg for Kunkka)
Valve's old plan: Spend the rest of the year in beta until it's ready to release in 2012.
New plan: Get the game out ASAP (for a short period invite only until a few remaining issues are fixed - then completely open to everyone) - although not all the heroes are ready. But the NDA is officially lifted FROM THIS VERY MOMENT and anyone can record, write and show whatever he wants from the game. Through product updates they will be releasing, more heroes will be made available.
tl;dr it practically means the game will be released earlier than planned, even if it doesn't include all the heroes. Through regular updates, fixes will be made and more heroes will be added.
So there will be no beta, but an early official release!

as long it will support it(which obviously it will},it's gonna be great for Mod Support,I bet there gonna be modes like Tower defense and etc.. ,maybe even some "classic" will be forged out of this.

Yes, these games are played with the following map:
Spoiler:
Hell I think the Dota 2 logo IS a representation of the map:
However Newell has said:
Quote:
"We'll find ways to extend the [franchise]," Newell elaborated. "If you ask me, maps are probably one of the easier ways to create value. But, other people have thought otherwise. We've actually created multiple maps internally but, we'll see. I feel that one of the most valuable things are the heroes. Also, I think we should see what we can do with game modes. This hasn't been so successful in the past, as the community has a tendency to narrowly focus on certain things -- but the great thing is, once you start trying things, you can start seeing what's good and what's not."
And it'll ship with mod tools, so if the community wants to make new maps, they can.
it's some what reminds me what happen with CS,now most of the Official way to play in Servers are in Dust 2,and same game mode... which for me became boring,what's still keep me play CS,sometimes. it's the mods. good thing GO will basically trying to change this.

That's not an official thing, that's the community liking Dust 2 because it's such a simple map. In proper matches for most teams it's not a preferred maps exactly for that reason: everyone knows it inside out.
As for DotA being only one map: there's more balancing in this game than there is in a game like CoD, that's where the development time has to go. CoD has to do it through maps, here they don't have to, instead they get to add heroes and balance them just right.

it is Official map and gametype. these days you can still find other "official" maps and hostage gametype that actually used in Servers but not as much dust 2 is used...,despite the game having 18 maps. for most people it might be the preferred way to play "officially" .but people like me want new already,cuz it's bored to play the same all the time,so there is the "unofficially" mods/maps that became more popular then all the current maps outside Dust2. ,DOTA might be different case cuz it has bigger map,and a lot more of variety,but IMO it will still has to have some more maps in one way or another in the future.

It is not forced by Valve though and like I said, in matches barely anyone plays Dust 2. Sure, de_ maps are played exclusively, but that's because they're the most fun; the cs_ (and as_oilrig) maps all have terrible layouts. Would you really want a clan match on fy_iceworld or surf_mario?
And actually, you're completely wrong. Because in all the big tournaments, there have been some custom maps that are used a LOT. The CPL has done a few which even made their way into CS:S. So no, maybe the servers you find have a lot of Dust 2, but it's not the norm.
I never blamed Valve for Forcing this,I even Hinted my " gladness" that they are trying to change this in GO in my previews post.
custom made maps are not considered as "officially"(the maps the game came/updated with) one of CS "magic" IMO,it's the custom made stuff,I remember the glorious days I used to play Super Hero and Warcraft 3 mods...

So NDA is lifted for dota2 and there will be people streaming from now on. I want to know how big the beta is, all I see is silly "we'll give away 1 key!" contests so I am guessing quite small
Our original plan was to spend the next year or so in beta, adding new features and slowly growing the number of heroes until we reached a level of parity with Dota 1, at which point we’d release Dota 2 to the world. But the feedback we’re seeing everywhere is that people just want to play it, even though there’s still a ton of heroes yet to be implemented.
