Valve keeping up with the trend of "worst kept secrets". You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.
I've been playing it the past few days and it's honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it's in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.
For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there's a ton of leaks out there.
EDIT: invite received, deleting steam ID for privacy

Sent you a friend invite to be able to send you a playtest invite. Remember to pass it along in the chain.
Thanks! Will definitely pass it on!
You need to accept the friend request for me to be able to invite you to the playtest.
I'm going to send you a friend invite shortly so I can provide a playtest invite.
Accepted.
Woo! It's a fun game. Definitely more my style than Dota.
Looking forward to trying it! Dota is not for everyone, but I'm excited to see what the frog is cooking. He's a very talented game designer.
