**Battle Cup winner name glow is completely gone – bug or intentional removal?**
Just won the Battle Cup this weekend with my team and noticed that the name glow effect in the main menu is completely missing. We only got the small trophy icon in chat, nothing else.
For those who don't remember: winning the Battle Cup used to give you a visible glow/highlight on your name in the main menu for a week. It was a small but satisfying reward that showed off your win to other players. Now it's just... gone.
I'm a player since the original Warcraft 3 DotA days so I'm well aware that Valve quietly removes features without announcing it, but I couldn't find any patch note or official statement mentioning this change.
**Questions:**
- Is this a known bug?
- Did Valve intentionally remove it at some point?
- Has anyone else noticed this recently?
If this is indeed a bug, it would be great if people could upvote so it gets some attention. Small things like this matter for the feel of the game – it's exactly these little reward moments that made grinding Battle Cup feel worthwhile.
Already planning to report it on the GitHub bug tracker (github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota2-Gameplay/issues) if it turns out to be a bug and not an intentional change.
