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 The Defense 2 Chest 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 box, however very few of the boxes yielded this courier.

The courier varnishes The Defense 2 logo on the banner and on its sides and is currently the only courier that has the Triumph of Champions effect where the couriers eyes glow red. The courier also has a different mask.

The patch of April 24th, 2013 changed all existing instances of this courier to Vintage quality. Previous Vintage versions of this courier were created by Valve employees for testing purposes.
