Hey everyone, I am planing in getting the new 13 inch macbook pro. I would like to know how this device manage heat while playing? I have a PC for gaming but sometimes I would like to play Dota 2 on this machine and I am curious how it would handle the heat while playing this game. Thanks

There are 2 fans (at least in my 2015) that will kick in at high temperature. I would also suggest keeping the MBP on a hard surface, not in your lap, while playing to dissipate heat. I know it can get quite warm when sitting in your lap while doing graphics/processor intensive tasks. If you do keep it in your lap while playing, consider getting a eat-in-bed style table (or read in bed) to get that hard surface.

This isn't a super technical description, but might help you out a little.
