Today we're launching The International website where you can find info about the dates and this year's format. We'll be updating the site throughout the event, starting with the Group Stage team distribution on July 22nd after the players arrive in Seattle.

We're also launching the beta of DotaTV's Live Streaming, which you can find in the new Watch section on Dota2.com. Games are broadcast at up to 1080p at 60 frames per second and feature real-time stats, graphs and match data. The Watch section gives you quick access to the most-viewed Dota matches currently being streamed through Steam Broadcasting. The full broadcast for The International will also be available for viewing on this new platform.

If you're attending The International, we're happy to announce that this year you'll be able to pre-order all the new Dota 2 merchandise that will be available at the Secret Shop, and then claim your order at KeyArena.

We've been impressed with the quality of items in the Collectors Cache and want to continue finding exciting new ways to feature quality community items. If you would like any single items or sets to be considered for release in conjunction with our Fall Dota Major Tournament, please submit your work to the DotA 2 workshop no later than 04:00:00 PDT on the morning of Monday August 24, 2015 (4am Seattle time). While we will choose which items should have ability particle effects and will handle implementing them ourselves, you should still keep them in mind when concepting and designing your items. There's no need to follow any specific themes or use any event tags.

With The International just around the corner, we'd like to announce an exclusive reward, the 2015 Collector's Aegis of Champions. The Collector's Aegis is a 1/5th scale alloy replica, with antique brass plating, of the winner's trophy at The International. Inscribed on the back with the year and a gold finished insignia signifying this year's theme, the Collector's Aegis is a symbol to reward those whose Compendium Level has reached 1000.



After the conclusion of the grand finals of The International, we will send the Collector's Aegis to all players with a Compendium Level of 1000 or above. Additionally, when in a Dota match, the Aegis of Champions in the player's fountain will have a special glow effect that lasts until the next International.

If you have a Level 1000 compendium by the end of the Grand Finals, you can fill in your shipping information on this website.

In other Compendium news, the Immortal Treasure III is almost ready for release. We will be releasing it and the additional Compendium Pet style by the end of the week.

The International 2015 has become the biggest event in Dota's history, and one of the largest events in competitive gaming. This wouldn't be possible without the continued support and passion from everyone in the Dota community.
