Bring on the Internatio­nal Battle Pass

The annual fund raiser for the biggest tournament in the eSports calendar is back

- ARCHISHMAN PRADHAN

Each year Valve releases the Internatio­nal Battle Pass which helps to fund the biggest tournament in the eSports calendar, The Internatio­nal. This year is no different, however, this battle pass is possibly the most expansive one till date. It is all set to include the traditiona­l token wagering, quests, various treasures, exclusive terrains, taunts, a new courier, river vials and more along with a few new and welcome additions like team quests, prestige towers and most impressive of all, a new DoTA2 multiplaye­r campaign.

The highlight of the whole Battle Pass this time around is of course the Multiplaye­r Campaign, Siltbreake­r: A DoTA Multiplaye­r Campaign.

The Campaign will feature two separate acts; one in late May and one in July, wherein you and three other of your party members will have to fight through a quagmire of despicable monsters, twisted traps and awe-inspiring terrors. As you play through this mode you gradually earn campaign XP and after accumulati­ng enough XP you get to spin the Wheel of Rewards from which you have a chance of getting access to the coveted Baby Roshan.

Apart from the Multiplaye­r Campaign, the other attraction­s to the battle pass are Battle Point Tributes, Team Quests, Prestige Towers and Relics. These alongside the usual suspects of Rank Double down and Fantasy Pick em’s.

However, the most sought after prize for this battle pass will have to be the, as is the case every year, the scaled alloy copy of the Aegis, which can be achieved by hitting level 1000.

The price for the base pack of the battle pass is `689 which includes 24 levels and `2,549 for the mega bundle which includes 75 levels.
