Diretide



Diretide is an annual Dota 2 event starting October 30th.

Game Mode
There are 3 stages to Diretide, each lasting 10 minutes.

Candy Chaos

 * Compete against the enemy team in collecting the most candy.
 * Collect candy from Roshlings and deposit it in your candy bucket.
 * Go on a raid and steal the enemy's candy from their bucket.
 * When the timer expires the team with the most candy wins!

The Trickster Awakens

 * All this ruckus has awoken Roshan from his slumber.
 * He will target a random hero, alternating between teams, and bully them for candy.
 * Keeping a piece of candy in your inventory is recommended as failure to feed Roshan will result in death.

Sugar Rush

 * After 20 minutes Roshan will be stuffed and you will be left candyless.
 * You must team up with the enemy and go after Roshan to reclaim your candy.
 * Defeating Roshan will reward you with items and delicious candy.
 * The fastest Roshan slayers will be immortalized in the Diretide Hall of Fame!

Greevil Egg
''It is said (by some elder sage or other) that the hatchlings are highly susceptible, and that each essence exerts a unique influence on the incubating creature. Is there method to this madness? Trial and error, and some comparison of results, will surely reveal the rules of Greevil husbandry.''
