We knew Dota 2 was going to launch prior to the The International 2013 but we weren't exactly sure when. That "when" is apparently right now.
So, how do you play? It's a bit different than a usual Steam release, so be sure to pay attention here.
You need to head on over to the Dota 2 page on Steam. Once there, you need to click on "Get Dota 2" and sign up. You will then be sent an email a short time later letting you know "it's time to play."

During a two year beta, Dota 2 grew to be the largest active community in Steam's history, with a monthly user base of more than 3 million users, and peak concurrent users of over 300,000.
The feedback from these users has put Dota 2 in position to welcome everyone to come and play, as we move from beta to launch. Given the size of the Dota audience, the initial launch of the game will be done in waves. This will ensure that existing Dota 2 users will keep playing without disruption, and new users will be able to join the community seamlessly.
