Your problem is likely not Linux-specific so you might want to look at the existing threads on this kind of problem at dev.dota2.com.
Alright I actually managed to get it solved. Woohoo!
Here's how I did it:
After @gdrewb-valve mentioned the fact it may not be a Linux-specific issue, I tried installing Dota 2 through wine. The same symptoms appeared - leading me to believe that the issue was related to my networking setup (has both ethernet and wifi).
I then tried playing Dota after unplugging my ethernet cable, and voila! It worked. Because of this, I went through my services, and noticed that a systemd service handling my wifi connection was also controlling my ethernet connection (networkmanager). Thus, I disabled my ethernet only connection (for me it was dhcpd@eno1.service) and Dota worked again.
Great, glad you figured it out.
Setup is listed below. Issue occurs when I try to connect to an online game, and the game gets stuck on the loading screen until SourceTV times out/connection timer ends. Dota works fine in local games however.
Let me know if you need more info.
