Less than two weeks away from the start of The International 10, Valve has released a new gameplay update that rescales a lot of moves today in some last-minute balancing before the biggest Dota 2 event of the year.  The 7.30d patch changes in the eyes of most fans involve Clinkz getting even stronger, Silencer taking significant nerfs, and some general confusion at the wording of changes made to Zeus’s Static Field.  For the Zeus changes, Thundergod’s Wrath was buffed to scale damage from 300/400/500 to 300/425/550, but Static Field

Vitality have announced that they have parted ways with Nabil "⁠Nivera⁠" Benrlitom following his move to Liquid's VALORANT division, where the 20-year-old has joined forces with his brother, Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom.
