Go to your Steamapps/common folder.
Copy the Dota2 folder from there to the other computer steamapps/common folder.

Steam will either recognize the files are there on start, or if you try to install the game, saving you from downloading it again.

May I say that I cant find DOTA there. I can only find dota_beta. Is this considered DOTA since I was present during early acces?

When you copy and paste a game, it will need to repair/replace/add some files.

No copy and pastes are 100% clean. :D

I see, thankyou :)
