Trivia[]

  • The version numbers 6.89 up to 6.99 do not exist. 6.88f was the last patch of the 6.xx series, and was followed up by 7.00, indicating the start of a new era in Dota.
    • This is similar to what happened in 2005, when 6.00 was released. 5.84b was the last version of the 5.xx series, starting off with 6.00 after 5.84b.
