The doors to the Secret Shop are now open — helping celebrate the majesty of The International and a global community of passionate fans with limited edition swag from this year's event.
For those watching the action online this year, we’ve teamed up with multiple merchandise partners to ensure the latest lineup of Dota 2 merchandise is accessible in more regions than ever before.
Fans that are making the journey to join us in Singapore later this month also have the option to order through https://secretshop.eclubstore.com — then conveniently pick up your order at the Secret Shop in Singapore Indoor Stadium. All you need is your event badge to execute an order for the on-site pickup.
Similar to last year, we've teamed up with Secretlab to create a brand new chair embodying the molten aesthetic of this year. The chairs will be officially revealed just before the group stage on the 14th of October, and can be found on their landing page here.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless attempts to control the Primal Beast — and one of the most devastating plans only made the creature more fearsome than ever before. Stomp into the lanes in forged finery with the all-new Age of Attrition Prestige bundle — featuring custom animations and effects — available now to all Battle Pass owners who trample over level 223.

Yesterday we shipped an update which added a capsule containing Talent Stickers that unlocked talent voice lines. Upon doing so, fans and talent alike reached out expressing unhappiness with the product. Our intention was to create a compelling system that allowed fans to connect with their favorite talent in a different way than in previous years, and we fell short of that goal. We are sorry for that and we intend to correct it.
In order to address these issues, and after talking to some of the talent that reached out with concerns and proposals, we are adding the option to directly purchase a talent's voice line with 50% of the revenue going exclusively to that talent. Players can purchase these voice lines directly from the Talent page in the Battle Pass.
For players that have already purchased and opened talent sticker capsules, those stickers will continue to function as before. As with voice lines unlocked via stickers, directly purchased voice lines are also usable permanently.
The Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ) are less than two weeks away and with it the final teams will qualify to The International 2022.
Today's update brings us the Team and Player Stickers for all 6 Regional Qualifier winners as well as the 12 teams that will be competing in the LCQ. Find your favorite players and team stickers in four different qualities (Basic, Glitter, Holo, Gold) by opening Sticker Capsules or searching the Marketplace for the ones you need, and stick them to your heroes to show them off during your games or your sticker collection to display in your profile and earn some Battle Points.
For those of you that want to support your favorite team, The Supporter's Club Fan Bundles are also available now. Get your favorite team's Sprays, Voice Lines, Emoticons and Wallpapers by purchasing their Bronze, Silver and Gold packs.
Finally, the update introduces the list of talent participating in The International 2022. With well over 150 talent across the English, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese languages, we hope you'll be watching the best teams in the world commentated by the best analysts and casters, no matter which language you choose.
Each of the five primary languages will also feature a Talent capsule featuring a limited collection of talent stickers. Just like Player and Team sticker, you can place these on your Collection or a Hero, but additionally, if you place a Holo or Gold sticker of your favorite caster, you will permanently gain access to their unique TI2022 voice line. Find more information on Talent and their stickers in the Talent Page of The International 2022 Battle Pass.
As with previous stickers and fan bundles, 50% of the revenue from stickers will go distributed among the teams or talent involved in each Capsule or Bundle.
We hope you enjoyed the updated True Sight Insights and of course the world premiere of True Sight for The International 10 — taking you inside the player booths for Team Spirit's battle to overcome PSG.LGD and claim the Aegis of Champions. If you missed it live or just want to revisit any of the action, check out the full videos at: https://www.youtube.com/user/dota2/videos.
To celebrate the premiere, today's release includes 12 new chat wheel lines taken from this True Sight for Battle Pass owners to claim and use in your own games.

The Second and Third place teams from each Regional Qualifier will face each other for the two final slots during the Last Chance Qualifiers. This nailbiter tournament will run from October 8th to the 12th, just a few days before The International officially begins.
Today we are releasing a new feature of the 2022 Battle Pass to celebrate and support the teams: Team and Player Autograph Sticker Capsules. Featuring all teams and players participating in The International 2022 and the Last Chance Qualifiers in Basic, Glitter, Holo and Gold versions, Stickers are permanent collectibles that commemorate this year's tournament and allow you to display your fandom in multiple ways. Today's update introduces the top 12 DPC teams, with the other 18 teams coming next week.
You can build Team Collections by pasting your stickers in the Sticker Collection pages and redeem up to 16 Battle Pass levels for completing 1, 5, 10 or all 30 teams. You can also favorite a Team Row and display all of its related stickers in your profile page for everyone to see, or put a sticker from your armory in your profile card.
Additionally, if you want to display your fandom while you're playing or to boast that you're as good as a pro player when playing your favorite hero, you can stick stickers to specific heroes and have them displayed in the Versus and MVP Screens. Show everyone that your Enigma is like DJ's, your Earth Spirit is as good as BoBoKa's, your micro with Chen is akin to Puppey's, or that your teamfight positioning with Terrorblade is as good as Arteezy's by sticking your favorite player or team stickers in each hero's respective Hero Page.
Sticker Capsules can be purchased in the all-new Sticker Store and 50% of the revenue will go to support the teams included in the capsule. Stickers purchased this way are tradeable and marketable. Sticker Capsules are also granted to everyone in the Battle Pass at level 1, 150 and 300. Jump into the client now and find your favorite team and player stickers waiting for you.
Hunted from birth, a figure who has lived in shadow chooses to hide no longer. Available now to all Battle Pass owners who reach level 296, the new Exile Unveiled Hero Persona for Phantom Assassin features an all-new model, animations, ability effects, and voice performance to fully realize his deadly destiny in the midst of battle.
Raised in secret by outcast sisters of the Veiled Order, Asan the exile has spent a lifetime in pursuit of a single purpose: to destroy the false prophet that his teachers blamed for the corruption of their once-sacred faith. And while his guardians have been taken from him one-by-one by the blades of the veiled assassins, Asan is at last ready to step from the shadows — to realize the dark dreams of his masters and ensure the tainted oracle's most-feared prophecies come to deadly fruition.
Dive into the Exile Unveiled section of the Battle Pass to learn more, and then strike out into the lanes to visit suffering upon all enemies that stand in your way.
