Not at all Purple 
After getting hooked on HoN I can't wait for Dota 2 to be released. I'll search for the source but I read somewhere that the invite beta will start right after the tournament is over (a couple days!) and then the larger open beta (open to all?) sometime later this year.
Edit: The source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011- ... until-2012

It basically means that yesterday they added a slot on steam for what looks to be the Dota 2 invite beta. According to Gabe's "3 weeks" remark it's still got about 2 more weeks but it looks like they're moving files around in preparation for it's use

Update on the BETA from ICEFROG on the DOTA 2 forums.
----
We aren't planning to have one big beta invite tomorrow. Right now the beta primarily consists of the tournament teams, Dota1 beta testers, and other players that might compete in upcoming events. We will gradually give access to more and more players over the coming weeks and months. The Dota2 development process, like with Dota1, is focused on getting incremental player feedback to help us prioritize features and functionality in the game. There won't be an immediate million person invite all at once, but rather a gradual buildup as we develop new features and test various aspects of the game in order to to make it an enjoyable experience for an expanding player base.

Looks like we got awhile to wait.
