Valve has had an insider look at the Vulkan draft APIs for months. They also knew it would be using GLSL for its shader language. In practice, porting to Vulkan is a lot easier than, say, DX -> OGL. It is not that unbelievable that an engine that must already have a lot of abstractions to support so many graphics APIs and hardware types to be able to drop in Vulkan handling easily when they have early access to the API.

I'm not sure they'll push this straight into the main client without going through proper testing.
It should appear first in Dota 2 Test, like all major updates, and they haven't even archived the posts of the last one yet.

I've never played this, or any MOBA for that matter. I sometimes feel as though I'm missing out on MOBAs, I'd like to be able to watch the pros. But I never understand what's going on so I don't enjoy watching. Is this a good MOBA to get into the genre just to get an understanding of how it works? Or should I maybe go with Heroes of the Storm?
For reference, if it makes any difference, I watch a lot of Starcraft 2 and play a little too.

Technically I guess Valve *could* release a version running Vulkan right now. They could just embed their prototype Vulkan implementation in the source 2 engine and call it "Valvekan". In other words "Valvekan" would be an internal abstraction layer in the engine that would just bang on the API agnostic kernel driver directly.
