Market Bug & Trade Bug

Since around yesterday, the tags of tournament items don't show up on steam market, apart for the first (cheapest) item listed. Furthermore during trading you cannot access the tag either!

To be precise: Once you hover your mouse over an item (any tournament item), there is no pop up displaying the tag.

It's highly recommended not to purchase any heroic items untill this is fixed. Some traders might promise you that their item on the steam market/in trade has a certain good tag however that may not be true. You might come across people owning the same item with many tags and trying to fool you into purchasing the item with the tag you do not want. Careful! Do not get scammed!

What works?

Steam trade offers do not have this exact problem. Yes when you're offering a trade, you cannot see the tags, however when you RECEIVE the steam offer you can view the tag without a problem. Thus it is a slight inconvenience on the sellers side however you can safely purchase your heroic.

~BIG THANKS TO DEXTER FOR HIS INFORMATION!~

1. Despite there being a new drop patch (sets dropping - not single items anymore), tournament drops still drop in the same old way. You only get 1 item as your drop and not a set. There are no "heroic sets".
* Be aware of fake rumors of heroic sets especially heroic ursa alpine set. They are photoshopped! *

2. It is still unclear whether you can only obtain rare and higher quality items after this patch (whether common and uncommon drops have been removed). I would like to ask you to give us your insight on this topic (have you received any heroic commons & uncommons?). It's also uncertain whether you can still obtain heroic arcana's (or was this removed).

3. Old sets, that were temporarily retired from the droplist have been readded, thus you can find old items with new tags.

Please post under if you have more information.

Since today it is known, that there has been an official statement given to amateur tournament organisers that people spectating their games will NOT receive any heroic drops.

Why?

There have been many issues of people registering small tournaments and creating fake teams with fake items. Those items often had slightly misspelled team and player names and often came from a group of 3 people playing together. Here is an example of a fake match "http://dotabuff.com/matches/666177696"

How to not get cheated?

For every tournament drop check the game ID provided in the item. Check the number of players and check their dota and steam IDs. All pro players have registered their accounts and you can verify if it's the real pro player or not with the use of sights such as dotabuff.

How will this effect the price and demand of tournament drops, time will show.

Small Update. Tournament item drops don't show the names of the people who recieved them anymore. Now the pop up says "4 viewers have received a prize for witnessing..."

Do you guys like this change?

With the diretide update, there has been minor adjustments to tournament drops. The drops have been renamed from "Tournament" to "Heroic". What is a more siginficant change though is that the tags finally load in your own in game inventory as well as on your dota 2 profile - allowing you to finally show off the tag.
