House of Cards to End With Season 6
Netflix's first self-financed original series House of Cards will end with a sixth and final season.
IGN has confirmed that the long-running series starring Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood and Robin Wright as Claire Underwood will end with a sixth season that reportedly began filming two weeks ago.
TVLine reports that the decision was made to end the show months ago and not in light of the allegations made against Spacey yesterday that he made advances toward actor Anthony Rapp when he was 14 years old. Netflix and series producer Media Rights Capital released a joint statement saying they are "deeply troubled" by these allegations.

Dota 2’s 7.07 Patch Notes Released, Includes Details About New Heroes
Valve has released the patch notes for Dota 2 update 7.07, The Dueling Fates.
Originally announced at The International 2017 back in August, The Dueling Fates update brings with it a massive number of new features and changes, including the two new heroes Pangolier and Dark Willow. Pangolier is a melee hero with powerful defenses, and the ability to negate enemy armor. Dark Willow is a ranged hero with a variety of disruptive abilities that can root, stun, and inflict fear on enemy heroes.
Dueling Fates also includes a rework to matchmaking, for both ranked and unranked players. Matchmaking Rating will now be seasonal, recalibrating every six months to ensure every player's MMR is recent and accurate. Players will also gain a profile medal based on their peak MMR in each season. Valve hopes this change will result in better game quality at all skill levels. The first ranked season begins in two weeks.
