Team Spirit discovered a cryptic message in Valve's announcement

Mark "sikle" Lerman, an analyst for Team Spirit, discovered a cryptic message in Valve's announcement regarding The International 2024.

He shared this in his Telegram channel.

"In the official announcement, the last paragraph hints that there is another message encrypted in the text if you 'phonetically' analyze something. Likely, some words sound similar to others, but I couldn't find out exactly which words and where they come from upon a quick glance"

He pointed to the last paragraph of the message on the official Dota 2 website, where there is a hint of hidden meaning. However, the analyst admitted that he suspects how the message could be revealed but has not yet managed to decipher it.

In the comments, thanks to phonetic analysis, a hidden message was found, but its meaning is still unknown.

"don't worry about it

You got this, toxin

That's a fort now

They're my demon more on the way"

Some have speculated that this might be a hidden announcement of a new hero. It could be Bird Samurai, who allegedly appeared in Crownfall as part of the storyline.
