TeaGuvnor has launched his traditional stream in anticipation of Patch 7.41

Caster and analyst Robson TeaGuvnor Merritt is hosting another unusual Twitch stream ahead of the release of a new Dota 2 patch. This time, he’ll be sandpapering wooden planks (hinting at the need to nerf Treant Protector) until the update is released.

TeaGuvnor is rarely wrong about the launch date of the “waiting room” for a major gameplay update. Furthermore, over the past few weeks, the developers have been actively updating the Dota 2 Staging Server with numerous versions, which indicates that a significant update is in the works.

Earlier, Yaroslav NS Kuznetsov shared a rumor that Valve is working on a major event expected to launch in April. This theory was also confirmed by dataminers. The event could launch today, but it’s also likely that Valve will merely announce or hint at the upcoming event while releasing only a gameplay patch.

As CyberScore reported earlier, Dota 2 experienced a record drop in online players.
