SPECTATOR:

- The Director will now acknowledge all Ultimate usages not just the ones that damage, so you can no longer pretend that Echo Slam in the jungle by yourself didn't happen.

UI

- Added chat spam throttling.

- Players that have not purchased a Tournament Pass will no longer be able to watch that Tournament's replays.

- Sellback times no longer expire when moving items to the courier.

- Commendation totals are not incremented until the game is finished.

- Added a message when a player destroys the Aegis.

- Added confirmation dialog before starting a Tournament game with one or more teams not specified.

- Added client-side console variables allowing spectators to locally disable certain announcer lines. Especially useful for broadcasters. The cvars are:

- cl_dota_speech_spec_towerattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_towerfalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_barracksattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_barracksfalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_ancientattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_enemybasefalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_idles .

- Set any of them to '0' to prevent that line from playing. (Broadcasters will almost always want to set cl_dota_speech_spec_idles 0 ).

- Multiple players who have the same announcer equipped in the same game should now hear the same line being spoken.
