Valve has announced that their annual #Dota2 tournament The International would take place in Seattle and the play-offs are on the Oct 27th-29th week-end. I've been wanting to attend The International for several years, but so far it has taken place in remote locations around the world I wasn't able to fly to.

Oof, this stings, but it's fair, no #Dota2 tournament I've watched in the past couple years escaped the betting sponsorship, some have even been going for cryptocurrency exchange sponsorship. I love the game but man it's depressing. #VideoGames
I Bet It Will Be Good

I’m watching this #Dota2 tournament and I can’t stand seeing the two best teams of this event win games, which happens pretty often by definition.

It isn’t healthy but I can’t help it.
