After Valve revealed that The International 10 was going to be postponed but that they will be releasing the Battle Pass in a few days anyway, many speculated that this will be one long Battlepass extending right until TI10 takes place.
However, that seems to not be the case. In a Reddit post, Valve employee /u/cameron_dev confirmed that the Battle Pass will not be that long.
He stated:
“The battle pass will last roughly the same amount of time as the previous ones.”
Over the last few iterations of the Internationals, the Battle Pass has usually lasted for 3-4 months. This means that two possibilities are extremely likely for The International 10 Battle Pass.
No matter when it is released, we’re sure Dota 2 fans across the world will be quite excited for the Battle Pass. While Valve cannot expect its previous record $34 Million Prize Pool to be eclipsed, the Dota 2 community can be expected to put up a significant amount this year as well.
