With the prize pool reaching $10 million, a new set of Immortals are to be coming out. It’ll be a while, Valve just put out the second set after intense ‘polishing’. There have been some inkling rumors on what the final set of items will be thanks to some more digging in surprise; the Dota 2 sub-reddit.
I’m very much looking forward to a Kunkka shark ‘Ghost Ship’ ultimate! That said these are just predictions based on basic files found in the Dota 2 update files. Let’s hope for a quick release soon!
