The International 10: the coverage studios, ticket sales start, and themed compendium
3 weeks until The International 10, Valve unveiled the coverage studios and date of the ticket sales start, and added a themed compendium to the game's client.
Compendium
A free compendium has been added to the Dota 2 client with information about the list of coverage studios. Access to the Fantasy section will open closer to the start of the tournament. The book is monetized by selling packs with player cards: all users will get 10 free sets, and the rest can be bought in the in-game store. However, this time the sales of the compendium don't increase the prize pool of The International.

Interesting fact: Vitalii "v1lat" Volochai is the only caster in the world who will attend all the tournaments of The International series. Such a unique status Vitali has gained after the end of the career of the English-speaking caster Toby "TobiWan" Dawson, who previously also attended all the tournaments of The International.
Ticket Sales Start
The ticket sales start date for The International 10, which will be held in Romania, became known. Fans will be able to buy them on the official website of Valve, starting September 22, at 11:00 CEST.
In addition to the start, the requirements for spectators became known also. Everyone who buys a ticket must be COVID-19 vaccinated and wear a mask while in the stadium. Tickets will be sold for 2 days at a time. The most expensive is the last one:
