Dota 2's International Battle Pass is here - with guilds, new mode, Battle Gauntlet, more

The 2020 edition of the Dota 2 International, the MOBA game's biggest annual tournament, might have been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, but Valve still has a hefty battle pass packed with new content for fans to sink their pearly white teeth into. This year's Dota 2 International pass has landed, bringing a hearty batch of new features and rewards to the game.

As posted by Valve on the multiplayer game's site, there's a huge new feature in the battle pass: Guilds. "There's nothing more satisfying than smashing an Ancient with a great group of friends, and then doing the same thing again and again," the studio posts. As you'd expect, the new feature lets you group up with a bunch of pals to "ensure that you always have the right team at your back on that road to victory".

The all-new feature offers daily contracts, challenges, and even a chat system via Steam for your Guild. Earn points as a Guild and you'll get access to special rewards, like "emoticons, bonus challenges, in-game Guild Banner upgrades, Battle Pass bonuses, and more."
