Unlocking Dota's Secrets: Getting F-Keys To Work

If you're having trouble getting your F keys to work in Dota, you're not alone. This is a common issue that many players face, and there are several solutions that have worked for others in the same situation. First, check your keyboard settings in the Logitech Gaming Software and assign Dota2 - Profile to your F-keys. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling G HUB and transferring your settings. If you're playing on a laptop, you may need to change your BIOS settings or disable the function keys. Alternatively, you can try using different keybinds or a different keyboard altogether.

Sign up for a Dota TV league ticket

Signing up for a Dota TV league ticket is a straightforward process. Here is a step-by-step guide:

• Visit the league sign-up page on the official Dota website and complete the registration form. This is where you will provide essential details about your league.
• Once you have filled out the form, you will be redirected to your league admin page. Here, you will need to upload league images, which are crucial for promoting your league and creating your ticket.
• After uploading the images, carefully review all the information you have provided. When you are satisfied that everything is correct and ready, it's time to "Publish" your league. This step is crucial, as it verifies and locks in all the information about your league.
• It is important to note that you must "Publish" your league at least seven days before the start date of your event. Failure to meet this deadline will result in your league being rejected.
• Before submitting your league, you also need to set up a League Workshop Item and finalise revenue sharing. Even if your league is free to spectate, this step is still necessary. To create your League Workshop Item, follow these steps:

• In Steam, right-click on "Dota 2" and select "View Downloadable Content".
• Select "Dota 2 Workshop Tools DLC" and wait for the tools to update.
• Right-click on "Dota 2" again and select "Launch Dota 2 –Tools".
• In the Workshop Manager, select "Create new item".
• Select "Contract-Only Submission".
• This process will allow you to create the necessary workshop submissions, and you will receive a URL that you will use when submitting your league in the "League Workshop URL" field.

• If you plan to bundle an item or item set with your league ticket, be sure to submit them during the sign-up process. You can submit up to five different items or item sets, and multiple submissions are allowed in case your primary item is rejected.
• You will need to create two sets of images for your league: one set advertising only the league and another set promoting the league with the bundled items.
• Remember that registering your league on the sign-up page must be done a minimum of 45 days prior to the start date of your league.

By following these steps, you will be well on your way to successfully signing up for a Dota TV league ticket and creating an exciting league for the Dota community to enjoy!

Create a League Workshop Item/Listing

To create a League Workshop Item/Listing, you must first set up a League Workshop Item and finalise revenue sharing. This is required even if you are not bundling an item with your league or if your league is free to spectate.

To create your workshop listing, follow these steps:

• In Steam, right-click "Dota 2" and select "View Downloadable Content".
• Select "Dota 2 Workshop Tools DLC" and wait for the tools to update.
• Right-click Dota 2 again and select "Launch Dota 2 –Tools".
• In the Workshop Manager, select "Create a new item".
• Select "Contract-Only Submission".
• This will allow you to create the necessary workshop submissions. Copy this URL and use it when submitting your league for the "League Workshop URL" field.

If you are bundling an item with your league ticket, submit the item(s) when you sign up for your league. You can submit up to 5 different items or item sets and you should submit them in order of preference. Additionally, you will need to create two sets of images for your league: one set that advertises only the league and another set that advertises the league with the item(s).

Your items must be submitted to the workshop and marked as public 45 days prior to the start date of your event. All items submitted must be made public for community exposure and voting. After three weeks of community voting, your item(s) will be reviewed by Valve and you will receive a notification of acceptance, rejection, or feedback on any changes that need to be made.

Bundle an item with a league ticket

To bundle an item with a league ticket, you must submit the item(s) when you sign up for your league. You can submit up to five different items or item sets that you want to bundle with your league. To do this, click on the link next to "League Item" and submit your item(s). Submit your items in order of preference, as the top item will be your first choice to bundle, the second item your second choice, and so on.

Additionally, you will need to create two sets of images for your league. One set of images should advertise only the league, and the other set should advertise the league with the bundled item(s).

It is important to note that your items must be submitted to the workshop and marked as public 45 days prior to the start date of your event. All submitted items must be made public for community exposure and voting. After three weeks of community voting (21 days after submission), your item(s) will be reviewed by Valve. By the 28th day, you will receive a notification of acceptance, rejection, or feedback on any changes that need to be made.

If changes are requested, you will have one week to comply with these requests. By the 35th day, your items will be accepted or rejected if changes were requested. It is important to note that all rejections are final, and no other items will be accepted in place of rejected items.

Set up revenue sharing when bundling items with a ticket

To set up revenue sharing when bundling items with a ticket, you must first submit each individual item for your bundle to the workshop. You can keep the ticket submission hidden, but any other items must be made public so that the Steam Community can vote on them.

For each item submission, including the ticket and other items, you will need to provide a workshop split %. It is recommended that the league organizers and item contributors agree on how the bundle will be split and then apply that same split % to every item in the bundle.

For example, if you have a bundle with a ticket and a courier, the total revenue share would be divided in half between the courier and the ticket. If the league organizers and courier contributor agree to a 50/50 split, then the resulting revenue share for $100 in revenue would be:

• League Organizer A = $100 (1 item / 2 items) 50% split 25% revenue share = $12.50
• League Organizer B = $100 (1 item / 2 items) 50% split 25% revenue share = $12.50
• Courier Contributor C = $100 (1 item / 2 items) 50% split 25% revenue share = $12.50

You can use the tournament revenue calculator to calculate the revenue splits for your bundle.
