The International 2022 Battle Pass – is it worth it?

The long-awaited Dota 2 Battle Pass for The International 2022 and beyond has finally arrived. As always, it contains a lot of cool features but to unlock them, you will need to gain a lot of levels.

It’s clear that the Dota 2 community has been waiting for this Battle Pass with a lot of anticipation. In less than two days after its release, the prize pool of TI11 has grown by almost $6 million, reaching $7.3 million. In this rhythm, by the time the tournament ends, the teams will receive more than $30 million.

Cool features of the TI11 Battle Pass

This Battle Pass brings numerous skins and cosmetics. For example, you can earn the Faceless Void arcana, which looks like it was inspired by The Great Cthulhu mythos. This skin will be unlocked at level 495. Meanwhile, the $9.99 Battle Pass starts at level 1. However, you can buy the level 50 version at $29.35 or even the level 100 version at $44.99. After that, you will need to gain levels by playing the game.

Apart from a Faceless Void arcana, the Battle Pass also contains a Razor arcana (level 383), a Phantom Assassin persona (level 296), and a Crystal Maiden persona (level 148). All of them look amazing. In the case of Phantom Assassin, you will get to play the hero in its male version, which should be very interesting.

Other features of the Battle Pass include:

• Weekly quests
• Fantasy points and predictions
• Stickers
• The Cavern Crawl game mode
• A music pack
• Custom courier, hud, wards, and towers
• 2 immortal treasure chests
• 2 standard treasure chests
• Unique chat wheel sounds and lines
• Immortal items
• Taunts
• Sprays
• Emoticons
• River vials
• Seasonal item effects
• Double Down tokens
• Loading screens

The package is truly impressive. For anyone who plans on playing the game regularly for the next several months, the Dota 2 Battle Pass is an absolute must. It will greatly enhance your experience and give you even more reasons to play the game.

Usually, you do it for fun or to gain MMR. But when you own the Battle Pass, there’s a lot more that can motivate you to compete.

One thing to keep in mind is that the skins will become tradeable on the Steam Market at some point. This means that whatever treasures you gather this Autumn may be worth a lot of money.

Community reaction

We’re still waiting to see if the community likes the Battle Pass or not. What’s certain is that people are buying it. There have been complaints here and there but overall, this BP is likely going to be a big success. If the TI11 prize pool goes above $30 million, we’ll know that Valve offered players something they were satisfied with.
