### UPDATE TI COMMANDS
Renamed /dpc commands for The International to /ti.

Try out /ti bracket for a cool display of the current standings, or /ti upcoming to see whats up next. If there are games live, you can use /ti live to get some key info about the current status of matches!

### New feature: Add announcement subscriptions
*Keep up-to-date on Dota 2 news*

<code>/config-server announcements</code> Will let you choose a channel to receive Dota 2 news and updates.

You can also separately subscribe to the MagusBot announcement channel, to inform you and your users of new features! 

**NOTE:**
- If you already invited MagusBot before March 6th, you will need to re-invite MagusBot or manually grant it the `manage webhooks` permission.
- Only users with the `Administrator` permission can access this command by default. You can change this in the server settings integrations tab

Next time there is a patch released and you want to quickly see what your favourite heroes’ changes are, or if they nerfed a broken item you hate, you can find out quickly with MagusBot. Unlike the monolithic patch webpages, you can quickly search for a hero or item and get concise patch notes without having to find it on a webpage longer than your losing streak.

Alternatively, you want to look up the specifics of an ability but can’t load the game, and the Dota website is wrong, yet again… 🙄

These are the current features available to use, but more are in development. I am hoping to bring some TI-related commands and information next month, and then hopefully for most leagues afterwards. I am also looking at commands related to you and your friends, such as quickly sharing your last game, general stats etc. I also hope to expand the available information beyond what you can typically access in-game and would currently need to visit one of the various wikis to access.

Originally, MagusBot was created after a discussion with friends regarding quickly seeing the changes after a patch back in February, and I developed a prototype in a couple of weeks that has been running for 6 months now. Since then, it has coped with a couple of big and several minor patches, and the current full version of MagusBot has been testing for the last several weeks and I hope to grow it further. Although I have my final year of university starting soon, I hope to keep working on the project over the next several months.

If you want to try out the bot, you can join the support server, where you can also report any issues etc. you find, or features/suggestions.
