Sikle deciphered the mysterious inscriptions in Dota 2: they are connected to The International 2025

Mark "Sikle" Lerman, an analyst at Team Spirit, was able to translate the glyph language that appeared in Dota 2 after the release of patch 7.39d. It turned out that the words contain references to The International 2025.

He published the transcript on his Telegram channel.

"The runes turned out to be too simple - it's a repeating English alphabet. The first 26 letters are uppercase, the following ones are lowercase. On this year's pullover, "International" is written in runes (without an article for some reason), and on the sweater..."

Sikle noted that the transcript turned out to be quite simple, because the symbols are comparable to the letters of the English alphabet. Thanks to this, he was able to translate the inscription on Valve merch, where "International" is written in glyph language.

He added that it is unlikely that the developers began to add an encrypted language to the game just like that, and believes that it will play a more important role in the next update of the game.

Let us recall that it was previously announced that Frog-Bard will likely become a new Dota 2 hero - Team Spirit analyst found hints about this.
