Valve have announced the dates for the second year of the International Dota 2 Championships which will take place over the weekend 31st August – 2nd September. Will Ukrainian team Na’Vi retain their title [1] and take the $1m prize? Thanks to Valve’s attempts to make the game spectator friendly the whole world will be able to watch online like last year, I’m hopeful those of us lucky to be in the beta (or everyone if it is released by that point) will even be able to use the brilliant in game spectator features to watch, but if not there will no doubt be the live stream, with commentary for those who have no idea what is going on.

[1] I wanted to say belt, I don’t think there is a belt but there should be and it should give the wearer +6 Strength.
