- Do not copy/paste from other CFG, post them on discussions. Bermuda will respond to updates daily, any major changes in the CFG will lead to updating the blog post.
It has come to the state where I cannot respond to Dota 2 updates and cfg changes as quickly as I used to be able to. Due to this, I decided to make the CFG open source and allow anyone to contribute to the CFG. I will monitor the requests da 646F ily and respond as soon as possible. (I will still work on the cfg.) Thank you for your support. See you in game. :)
