Recently took place the most important #ESport tournament of the year for #Dota2 players and viewers, Valve's The International. I was a little worried when I read the blog headline "In-Game Advertisements at The International" from Valve, but to my good surprise, it was outlining how none of the teams sponsors names and logos would be appearing in-game through team banners, base logos and player name tags during the tournament's games.
After the Ryadh Masters at the Esport World Cup, the previous major Dota 2 tournament which heavily featured advertisements, both in and off-game, it is a breath of fresh air. Valve doing it right. 👍
In-Game Advertisements at The International
The International is a celebration of Dota and the global community of players and fans who support it, providing a chance for everyone to come together and see it played at the highest possible level by the best teams in the world.Dota 2
This past week-end was my first time going to #Dota2 #TheInternational in Seattle, WA but from the few conversations I had with other attendees on my way home it was the most expensive and disappointing one to date since the yearly tournament started in 2001.
Oh well, I guess I had to try, and the little I saw of a city I had never been to before was nice.
