14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Valve seems determined to use the upcoming The International tournament for DOTA 2 to enhance the audience of the Multiplayer Online Battle Area title, and one way they will try to achieve the aim is by delivering a special streaming option for those who are newcomers to the experience or have never been interested in its competitive elements.
The company explains that the Newcomer's Broadcast is “an English stream happening alongside the main stream, featuring commentary aimed at easing people into understanding the exciting world of BKBs, tri-lanes, and counter-picks.”
It is unclear how many fans will be interested in learning more about DOTA 2 while they are also watching one of the biggest competitions linked to the MOBA.
It will be interesting to see whether the commentary team will introduce more complicated and specific terms as the competition moves towards its final stages.
The International is a huge competition, which will debut later in the week, and the prize pool, which has been financed directly by the community, has gone over the 10 million dollars (7.6 million Euro) mark.
DOTA 2 is a free-to-play experience created by Vale and competes with League of Legends from Riot Games and the upcoming Heroes of the Storm from Blizzard.
