The International 10 Battle Pass has been Released

Valve have released the new Battle Pass for Dota 2. As in previous years, the standard pass costs $9.99, level 50 bundle costs $29.35, while level 100 bundle is available for $44.99. Traditionally, 25% of all Battle Pass sales contribute to The International 10 prize pool. In less than 12 hours since its release, the prize pool has already increased from $1,600,000 to more than $5,500,000.

Among Battle Pass rewards are two personas – The Toy Butcher for Pudge and The Disciple’s Path for Anti-Mage, as well as three acranas – One True King for Wraith King, Eminence of Ristul for Queen of Pain, and Compass of the Rising Gale for Windranger. Besides that, the Pass owners will be able to receive new terrain, towers, evolving courier, kill streak effects, ping cosmetics, and much more.

This year’s Battle Pass features a number of new features, including:

• Guilds: although guilds can be created only by BP owners, everyone can join them. Guild members will be able to complete daily contracts and weekly challengers, which will allow them increase the level of the guild and receive special rewards, such as emoticons, bonus challenges, banners, and more.
• Summer Event (Coming Soon): a new PvE game mode for four players, which will be available for everyone, while BP owners will receive special rewards for playing it.
• Side Shop: players will be able recruit heroes for gold earned from Battle Pass. Similar to Dota Underlords, recruiting three of the same hero will create its 2-star version. Selling your heroes will give you gems, which can be used to buy special rewards.
• Bounty Killing: each week players will receive Bounty Tokens which can be used to place bounties on enemy heroes – the teammates will see the target and a timer, and will have to complete the bounty in time to get 200 Battle Points. The player who sets the bounty cannot be the one to complete it.
• Cavern Crawl with two maps, granting exclusive item sets, Battle Points, and special tools useful for making it through the labyrinth.
• Battle Gauntlet: players need to win three maps before losing two to receive 1500 Battle Points, a Battle Tier upgrade, and 200 Sideshop Gold.
• MVP screen: the game automatically picks a Most Valuable Player of the match, as well as two Honourable Mentions. Players who will manage to appear on the screen multiple times will earn special achievements.
• Versus Screen is now interactive – players can use animations, taunts and chat lines.
• Pause-Screen Playground: players will now be able to partake in mini-games when their match is on pause.
