        Had this problem for ages with a pc that wasn't made for gaming even though dota was playable at low settings. But it has 8 gb ram. That might be the issue perhaps?

          I have this problem too, when I go for pick and ban I can't see anthing only a black screen for about 20 sec. then it's suddenly ok. I think theres a problem with downloaded dota2 files or my system performance maybe... I wish they could make dota2 menu faster to load

            scan for viruses, bitcoin miners and so on with malware anti virus reinstall steam/dota with its registry (if ure not sure what you're doing its okay to skip this step, but remember to backup registry before deleting) and that fixed my black screen during pick phase.

                      Sounds like an issue with a slow disk.

                      First game you play will need to load all assets and stuff into memory when you accept the match, if your disk is slow (HDD) you might get freezes while it loads and even cause it to crash if it takes long enough. If you're on a low end PC, the first thing i suggest upgrading is the hard drive into a SSD.

                        there are some commands you can add to options --> set launch, i use -map Dota myself which loads the map when the game opens instead of loading it when you accept the game. there are some more commands like -novid and one to set the launcher to 2012 or earlier years if you have problems with the new TI 10 launcher. You can search google for dota set launch commands and find the full list and customise your set launch options. If it doesn't fix it i think you can also remove the sets from loading.

                          @Dark Hunter wow, You got it bro! I always get this at FIRST game which I accept and enter freeze page.

                          I play on laptop. is there any easier work instead of changing HDD that I can do to make game load easier?

                          this shit all started with TI10 launcher -_-

                              @AmReza yes this add to set launch options
