Sikle on the release of Dark Carnival in Dota 2: "Three-step Tease"

Team Spirit analyst Denis "sikle" Lerman shared insights about the timing of the "Dark Carnival" event in Dota 2. He expressed his expectations in his personal Telegram channel.
The discussion was prompted by the disappearance of Axe – the character has stopped appearing in lobbies and cannot be selected in matchmaking, which the community linked to preparations for the event. According to Lerman, Valve will not release large-scale content all at once but will organize a multi-day promotional campaign.
The event is not today, they really left it for later. I foresee the following: tomorrow they will release another micro-teaser where Axe returns to the hero pool and receives a second buff, and after a few hours, the event will appear. A three-step tease.

Previously, the developers hinted at Axe's direct involvement in the upcoming event. The exact launch date of the "Dark Carnival" has not yet been officially announced.
