DotA 2 is currently available via purchase (in the form of early access) either by invitation, invitation that almost everyone has in their inventories of Steam. Since the invitation's been distributed so massive and a lot people have access to the game, perhaps the launch game total does not have all the impact that should have, but it is likely that the launch again raise a great interest in the game.
The game will open its doors just before "The International" in August, the biggest tournament on the calendar of Dota. Dota 2 has become the most played game on Steam without hardly any kind of marketing, and with a multi-millionaire tournament and release back advertising, the popularity of Dota as well as people who play it can reach the top.
It is also possible that the release of the game coincides with the launch of 2 new heroes, Abaddon , and Legion Commander, probably in that order.
Valve has been swelling the awards of The International via the compendium, an interactive book that serves as reference document and minigame of theorycrafting for the tournament. New prizes are unlocked against Compediums are sold, and as a prize end, the community may decide what will be the new hero of Dota 2.
