    How will they money? Apparently cosmetics and digital merch is what I skimmed.

      I think they will continue selling merch, just not as battlepass. Let’s see what happens in September

      From now on, the Battle Pass will not exist. However, this won’t eradicate the crowdfunding element for The International’s prize pool. Instead, Valve will release a TI-themed update in September. This update will apparently “focus on the event, the players, and the games, but cosmetic items won’t play a notable part.” This hints that this will instead be related to fantasy play and other supporting items, like the stickers from last year.

        I would buy premium access to a dota rule 34 magazine where their characters take on increasingly weird roles, until it’s just some kind of lovecraftian novel of incomprehensible creatures with no discernible form, language or purpose. The last entry should just be a dead space and a very long tentacle shaped like a spike far away into the horizon.

          I love how, on the internet, we can write whatever crazy fucking thought pops into our minds and post it for the whole world to see.

          I’m being serious. Weird people: never ever change!
