It includes nine previously-released hero sets reworked into this year’s distinctive black and gold. Players can claim a commemorative emoticon immediately at Level 1. They can earn more levels to access a new custom HUD skin, loading screens, and teleport effects for their favorite team.

The International Compendium: 2021 Talent Autographs

This is new for this year. Gamers can support their favorite casters and talent by purchasing their Talent Autographs. A base-level autograph costs $0.99. It features the talent’s picture and signature on an item that players can feature on their profile.

They can also level up the autograph for $0.99 per level to unlock additional rewards. Reaching level 5 unlocks a custom chat wheel line directly from the talent. Levels 10/20/50 unlock bronze, silver, and gold borders that allow players to show off their fandom in style.

The autograph is permanent and the chat wheel line is usable until The International 2022. 50% of all Talent Autograph sales go directly to the talent.

The International Website

This update features the unveiling of the all-new website for The International, located at dota2.com/esports/ti10. Watch live matches and VODs, check out tournament standings and upcoming matches, and view team details and stats all in one spot.

If players have missed something while it was live, they need not worry. They can log in to the site and enable Spoiler Block to enable a spoiler-free experience. Here, they can enjoy the tournament at their convenience.

The International section is only one part of the new Dota 2 Esports website at dota2.com/esports. This site will be the source for all DPC action including the regional qualifiers, Majors, and The International itself. Gamers can already check out the results and information from the past 2021 Spring events.

The International Compendium: Short Film Contest

The International is a celebration of the Dota community as a whole. Nothing exemplifies this community more than the talented filmmakers who create entries for the annual Short Film Contest and the enjoyment of fellow fans.

The finalists have been selected, and these top submissions are now available for voting within the Dota client. The winning entries will be showcased on the big screen at The International. All votes will decide who deserves the top prize of $25,000.
