Ilya “Raddan” Mulyarchuk, the carry player for Team Spirit Dota 2, has shared his anticipation for a full Battle Pass from Valve leading up to The International 2025. He expressed his thoughts on his Telegram channel.
“I hope there will be a battle pass this year (compendium) (at least something) (catacombs) (faceted glass)”
Valve previously announced a change in format for The International 2025. Instead of the usual group stage with best-of-two matches affecting playoff seeding, teams will now use a Swiss system to qualify for the playoffs. To reach the elimination stage, teams must win four out of seven matches. The tournament is set to be held in Hamburg, Germany, from September 4th to 14th.
