Dota 2 Battle Pass end date extended as Valve improves Game Coordinator

Since 17th June, Dota 2 players across the globe have been experiencing issues with the Game Coordinator, due to a sudden, extreme load surge hitting Valve's servers. While Valve is still investigating the source of what happened, the developer has decided to extend the Dota 2 Battle Pass end date.

 

Dota 2 Battle Pass end date

Valve has revealed the Dota 2 Battle Pass will now end one week later than originally planned.

 

 

The extension means the Dota 2 Battle Pass end date is now 19th September 2020.

This extension of the Dota 2 Battle Pass end date is likely due to the Game Coordinator issues. Players couldn't log in to complete challenges, earn rewards, and even play against others. 

 

Dota 2 Game Coordinator issues

For three days now, Dota 2 Game Coordinator issues have been plaguing Valve, and fans of the ever-popular MOBA. 

While Valve's statement regarding the Game Coordinator issues, which revealed an "extreme load surge" as the cause does point towards a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, the developer has not confirmed an attack.

Some players are still experiencing Dota 2 Game Coordinator issues, despite Valve's efforts to improve performance.

It remains to be seen if a group will take responsibility for the issues, or if it even is a DDoS attack. 

If you still can't play Dota 2, then spend some time watching the latest episode of our Lockdown video series.
