DotA2 - The International
phaidenbauer • 13 Sept 2024 •
A few days ago, I got an interesting notification from Twitch. The “Dota2 The International Channel”, went live. I was slightly caught off guard, I knew one of the largest esports tournaments would start soon, but I didn’t expect September.
Anyway, since then, I have been watching the play-offs when I had time, and today I’m sitting in the meeting room of the coworking space watching the first rounds of the upcoming finale.
I’m a bit bummed as they are playing in a hall in Copenhagen, which would be a worthwhile trip to watch the games in person. But I haven’t been keeping up with the schedules and almost missed the tournament.
Interestingly, I don’t play the game myself, nor do I fully understand all the rules and how everything works. But I think that’s part of the fun.

I think it’s not directly about the game or concert, but more about the crowd and the “feeling” if you know what I mean.
You are more likely to get a certain feeling dancing behind an Avril look-alike at a concert over some live streaming event. 🤣
Well, I’m enjoying watching the streams already. There you can even see the players in their booth.
As someone who enjoys live concerts, you would find watching people play video games in person equally entertaining?
