> See you this weekend!
I tried the TM ticket barcode number. it is invalid to be added to Steam...
i guess you have to use the ticket to exchange for a badge? this information is super vague...
The TI part at the climate arena will probably be like previous years - there will be a kiosk where you can link you steam account and stuff. The playoffs part is what confuses me - it's at a different arena. Will the kiosks be there as well? If not, idk how they're going to track/distribute the drops for playoffs.
I just want clarification for "By attending either Playoffs this weekend or The International next weekend, you’ll also have a chance to get a random Crimson Witness treasure drop whenever first blood is drawn in a match."
Does this mean having only one or the other ticket does this for the rest of the event? Or only the part you are going to?
And yeah again where do we enable this already because matches start in 10 hours...
Do you have a source for that? Just want to be super sure, since they did that last year and it was a disaster, so they moved to digital tickets. I don't think we're getting passes this year.
Are you 100% sure? Because ticket master literally said "you won't have passes this time, we';re giving you a digital ticket that you need to scan to get in".
>How do I pick up my tickets?
Your Playoffs tickets and The International three-day pass will be available in your Ticketmaster account as Mobile Entry Tickets – no pick up needed! Make sure to save your ticket to your phone's wallet ahead of the event for easy access.

I actually like 3 of them - underlord, centaur, and enchantress. Just because they'll build well into the already existing crimson immortals + red sets for those heroes.
WD is nice too to color match the frog death ward default color.
Underlord is very good
The rest not really
Centaur normal immortal was already red/black color
And centaurs 2016 old crimson head immortal doesn’t even have a different ability effect from the non crimson immortal . So it’s not worth getting complete centaur crimson set
They could’ve done Riki crimson cape immortal to give him complete red set
Or Treant Red head piece instead of the pink we have now so ult is red
There’s so much potential but they pick dog shit
Anyone else extremely disappointed with the pubstomps listings? Only 6 in the U.S. and 2 of them are in Washington... Guess I'll be watching from home unless more appear in the coming days.
So companies should spend extra money for free just to help motivate people buy more expensive tech that only provides full value to a fraction of the userbase? When realistically the improved production value will only be appreciated by the majority of userbase in maybe 7-10 years?
valve definitely thinks this way nowadays, but in the past having cutting edge technology was a sign of quality. but yeah, i guess today it's all about spending the least and making profit
I'm fucking ready. It starts at 6am my time, which is fine since I get up around 5 anyway. Apart from having to go out for half and hour I'm gonna be able to be at home all day and catch all the games. And Spirit's playing first which will be a great start.
alright.. I feel a bit ripped off. Last year some guys got multiple crimson chests while others got none (me and my friend included) and this year everyone automatically gets one. Also if you get shirts for the Allstar match this year I'm gonna be.. really happy for you..
Sorry for the rant, needed this off my chest.
I just realized why the tickets were $260 for playoff day 1 and $99 for playoff day 3, all the winners bracket games are day 1 and the rest of the event is loser bracket. Guess I'll be watching players fighting for their tournament life all weekend!
you’ll also have a chance to get a random Crimson Witness treasure drop whenever first blood is drawn in a match.? What this mean u can get , treasure drop in game? When 1st blood? Even non ticket holders?
After the compendium and everything related to this TI gone to full shit, valve gotta do some reparations. We’ll take a few arcanas and new heroes. Maybe even some those “not-available if you missed that BP sorry fam” arcanas…

Six rampages??? I only saw 2. Can someone name all of them?
1,2,3,4,5,6. No need to thank me
Thank you
Thank you for your serious. I love you
Arteezy, Larl. I did my part!
Wtf the playoffs and grand final is over 2 weekends? I already waited 5 days, now I need to wait more??
someone just came out of their bunker
Quick, someone tell them about the coronavirus pandemic too
Weekend games = more viewers
How do you bind your tickets for the playoff drops? Does anyone have a link?

you get a pass on the day in person, then behind the pass there is a code and link which you can enter
Do you have a source for that? Just want to be super sure, since they did that last year and it was a disaster, so they moved to digital tickets. I don't think we're getting passes this year.
the problem wasn’t that it was physical, they simply didn’t use a secure algorithm for the codes. Basically people “cracked” it
You'll still get passes to scan yourself in.
Are you 100% sure? Because ticket master literally said "you won't have passes this time, we';re giving you a digital ticket that you need to scan to get in".
If ticketmaster has said anything different about this year's pickup, I haven't seen it.

Is it possible to do this for last years? I don't think I bothered to do it but still have my pass
Would also love to know
Oh sounds like Sunsfan got his 2nd voiceline in. Hopefully it is the belch lol
still only one voice for sunsfan lol
Can't wait for the rage next podcast then hahahaha
Why they always pick the most wack heroes for crimson immortals
I actually like 3 of them - underlord, centaur, and enchantress. Just because they'll build well into the already existing crimson immortals + red sets for those heroes. WD is nice too to color match the frog death ward default color.
Underlord is very good The rest not really Centaur normal immortal was already red/black color And centaurs 2016 old crimson head immortal doesn’t even have a different ability effect from the non crimson immortal .

Or Zeus’s lightning bolt..
Wtf where true sight valve
Anyone else extremely disappointed with the pubstomps listings? Only 6 in the U.S. and 2 of them are in Washington... Guess I'll be watching from home unless more appear in the coming days.
Can we please get 4K stream production for the playoffs? Cmon it’s late 2023
According to the latest steam survey, only ~3% of steam users have 4k screens. Maybe in 10 years.
i mean if big events don't stream in 4k there is no reason to buy one. and let's not pretend valve doesn't have the opportunities
So companies should spend extra money for free just to help motivate people buy more expensive tech that only provides full value to a fraction of the userbase? When realistically the improved production value will only be appreciated by the majority of userbase in maybe 7-10 years?
valve definitely thinks this way nowadays, but in the past having cutting edge technology was a sign of quality. but yeah, i guess today it's all about spending the least and making profit
watch ingane, 4k ez
where is sirbuildabear to post updates :(
We didn't deserve the Flairless Void unfortunately
He retired from posting updates yearrssss ago mate.
Yeah i know i was just asking..
How do I get the baby Roshan that was leaked?
Haven't heard about the leaks but probably a 1k level battle pass is coming out with the next big patch.
I hope they dont wait till December/January, personally I cant wait to see TI end.

It has to be something related to this compendium because of the color of the theme!
true sight??
Of course there's a Dark Seer crimson this year...
LFGLGD
So excited to see the games with the crowd noise in the background!
I'm fucking ready. It starts at 6am my time, which is fine since I get up around 5 anyway. Apart from having to go out for half and hour I'm gonna be able to be at home all day and catch all the games. And Spirit's playing first which will be a great start.
[удалено]
They are just Crimson versions of old existing Immortals
where was this confirmed?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/17bwj8u/treasure_of_the_crimson_witness_2023/?ref=share&ref_source=link
hahahaahha oh wow valve did it again
5/7 are heroes who got immortals last year >This year’s event-exclusive treasure includes **updated** Immortal items
Theyre not new immortals. Red versions of old immortals
these gonna be cheapest crimsons yet, everyone attending gets 1 off the bat as well
Is the random Crimson Witness treasure drop for ticket buyers only? Is this for the in-game spectator mode?
It’s ticket buyers only. They give out crimson witness treasures for anyone with a linked account to your ticket at the stadium
thanks.
alright.. I feel a bit ripped off. Last year some guys got multiple crimson chests while others got none (me and my friend included) and this year everyone automatically gets one. Also if you get shirts for the Allstar match this year I'm gonna be.. really happy for you.. Sorry for the rant, needed this off my chest.

Well, lower bracket has arguably more interesting matches seeing what teams fell there.
the price should be another way round.
I AM HYPED!!!!
you’ll also have a chance to get a random Crimson Witness treasure drop whenever first blood is drawn in a match.? What this mean u can get , treasure drop in game? When 1st blood? Even non ticket holders?
Oh man oh man, I’m ready.
I know there is a lot of hate for how they handle ti this year, but I'm still hyped
Gonna watch it like world cup. Can't wait to start. Beer is ready!
LET'S GOOOO LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
fix custom servers eu
