A while back, I won a copy of Dota 2. Unfortunately, it seems that Dota 2 is not in my games list on Steam, but it is in my library in the Steam app. What should I do about that? I can still enter Dota 2 giveaways because my steam profile says I don't have Dota 2, even though I do. Syncing my account doesn't help with this issue either. Any advice?

Have you activated it? It doesn't show up on your profile.

You haven't activated it on your account. So unless you have a copy you can activate fairly quickly, you will more than likely get a ban.

This is your games list. Enter the filter "dota", you won't find anything. Did you activate the copy with another account?

Edit: Just saw the picture ... strange ...

I have no idea. I am only familiar with the reversal of this problem, having installed the spectator client won't let you join giveaways of dota anymore.

Maybe it's a Mac related problem? I'd suggest asking on Steam forums.
Edit: Installing it seems like a great suggestion. ;)

Maybe you have one with a different App ID.

App ID is how Steam tells one game from another.

The same thing happened to me until I installed and played it. Now it shows up on lists.
