Yesterday the official Dota 2 twitter sprung to life once again to announce that the Battlepass for The International 9 is coming today. What exactly will be included in the Battlepass is currently unknown.
The tweet stated only, "
Tomorrow...".
Every August Valve hosts 'The International', the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year with the biggest prize pool of any esport. The prize pool is mostly funded by players in the form of the Battlepass. Players can level up their Battlepass through completing challenges in-game or by simply purchasing them and unique cosmetics or other goodies are unlocked once certain Battlepass levels are reached.
Last year the TI prize pool reached a staggering $25,532,177. However, with the Dota 2 playerbase waning, it remains to be seen if the prize pool can reach that level again.
