Open Beta DEADLOCK

Deadlock Open Beta

Deadlock's open beta may be announced as early as this year's The International—the game was presented as a separate tab in the merch app. Furthermore, on July 25th, the Deadlock section was suddenly updated: new entries about heroes and items were added, and match details were displayed more clearly.
