DotA2 - The International

This post was originally published on golifelog.com.

A few days ago, I got an interesting notification from Twitch. The “Dota2 The International Channel”, went live. I was slightly caught off guard, I knew one of the largest esports tournaments would start soon, but I didn’t expect September.

Anyway, since then, I have been watching the play-offs when I had time, and today I’m sitting in the meeting room of the coworking space watching the first rounds of the upcoming finale.

I’m a bit bummed as they are playing in a hall in Copenhagen, which would be a worthwhile trip to watch the games in person. But I haven’t been keeping up with the schedules and almost missed the tournament.

Interestingly, I don’t play the game myself, nor do I fully understand all the rules and how everything works. But I think that’s part of the fun.
