DoTA2 Client leaked, along with Episode 3 hints!

In any case, the leak is already being datamined, and people have found some wondrous things – from the placeholders Valve uses for their spell icons, to the one phrase every single hero has in common (Perhaps a secret message? “Shitty Wizards” does resemble “Fart Cops”, does it not? Is Valve trying to tell us the name of their next game?), all the speech files of all of the heroes, every single backstory of every single backstory, a massive pastebin containing just about every caption string in the whole game, a test model for a lovely hat, various in-game models, all the way to… some very interesting code. Let’s take a look at that one right now.

Most notable are some strings found in the game's files that point to a microtransaction driven, free-to-play model similar to what Valve's own Team Fortress 2 currently employs. This text seems to imply that you'll be able to spend real-world money to buy bundles, gear, tools, and effects, though any mention of paying to unlock individual heroes is suprisingly absent. Other sections point to custom, cosmetically distinct couriers

now why would they have server files in a single player game? something doesn't fit.
