The Dota Pro Circuit 2021 is in full swing and we're getting Dota 2 action every day. Arkosh Gaming might be in the Lower Division of the NA region but they're already a step ahead of everyone else. You can now submit your idea for an emote, a spray, or a voice line and get it into the game!
Two weeks ago, Valve released a Dota 2 blog post about the now ongoing Winter Circuit aka the first season of the Dota Pro Circuit 2021. With it came an update that reworked the "watch" tab in the in-game client by adding teams and their current stats. What was even more interesting was the hint that players will soon be able to support their favorite teams by purchasing specific content made by the teams themselves:
If you’ve been following professional Dota for a while you’ll know we’ve explored a few ways for you to cheer on your favorite teams. In the coming weeks you’ll be able to back your favorites by purchasing content packages featuring in-game effects, sprays, emotes, loading screens and (of course) chat-wheel lines from your favorite teams. This content is coming straight from the teams themselves and they are submitting some great stuff for you to equip across your account.

We're not sure those pics from the Twitter post will make it to Dota 2. It seems like Arkosh Gaming are already done with their content but they're scraping off a few ideas to let their fans add some spice. According to Jake "SirActionSlacks" Kanner who's basically the voice of the mysterious team, fans will be able to submit their creations directly on Reddit.
