The Defense Season 2 War Dog

The Defense Season 2 War Dog is a custom variation of the Enduring War Dog courier and was available for a limited time. The courier could only be unboxed from the special box given to those who purchased The Defense 2 ticket within the first few weeks of the tournament. The box was handed out as an apology for the still beta DotaTV system. Players were also given a special key that could only unlock this special box, however very few of the boxes yielded this courier.

The courier varnishes The Defense 2 banner on the flag and on the side pouches and is currently the only courier that has the Triumph of Champions effect where the couriers eyes glow red.

The patch of April 25th, 2013 changed all existing instances of this courier to Vintage quality. Previously Vintage versions of this courier were created by Valve employees for testing purposes.
