The Suprises of The International 2018

The International 2018 with more surprises!

In the second day of the tournament, there were a lot of interesting matches and game-related events. Let's take a look at the most intriguing ones.

The owner of the new Arcana

Yesterday the winner of the traditional Arcana voting, which was held among the Battle Pass holders, was announced. So, the finals saw 2 heroes, both very different, with completely different tasks on the battlefield: Rubick and Faceless Void.

As a result, the winner was The Grand Magus, who made it to the finals of the contest for the second time in a row. So, last year he lost in the final round of voting to Pudge : the difference was a mere 0.008% of the vote! However, now the hero, in a sense, took revenge.

Now, all we can do is wait It took 7 months for the previous Arcana to be released. The price, in turn, will most likely be the standard - $ 34.99 .

Gabe Newell as a commentator!

Another notable event was the appearance of the head of the company Valve in an unusual role - an in-game commentator! Gabe Newell voiced a Mega-Kill announcer, that all owners of the Battle Pass have already received. Brand jokes about the forbidden number 3 are there!

Results of the Dota 2 Short Film Contest

Dota 2 Short Film contest has come to an end The winner was Keller Max , who told in his video called On The Cliff the story of Rubick and his less-than-ideal teammate.

The second line, in turn, was taken by Spudnik , who decided to tell the sad story of Lone Druid's Spirit Bear through Ursa Minor . The emotions it delivers are just as good as full-blown films

The third place was given to the former content-maker of NAVI.GG.BET - Anatoly " 4fun " Chasha , who gave us earlier. Congratulations, his GL HF video had a very good reception!

Distribution of the prize fund:

1st place - On the Cliff - $ 25 000
