According to the user, the model was created "in gratitude to the development team" who worked on Dota 2. Steam members can vote for whether they would like to see the item used in-game. The creator hopes to have it added to the upcoming New Bloom Festival event, for which Valve has put the call out for user-made items themed around Chinese New Year, Chinese history, and Spring.

Would you like to see this item come to Dota 2? On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the model's resemblance to that of Gabe Newell? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
