Each year we invest some of the preparation time for The International striving to figure out ways to enrich the connection among fans and the players in the event. We know that the majority of our viewers will be viewing the event unravel over the internet, so we ‘d like to make it easier for an online fan to relish deeper into the tournament, the teams, and the players. In addition to desiring more information, we know fans also love to contend with each other at predicting tournament outcomes. This year we’re taking our first shot at addressing all of the these concepts, with an extra step that we wish will result in the event itself getting bigger and better as a straight result of fan enthusiasm. Today we’re revealing The International Interactive Compendium, a virtual book that will keep you fully up to date with the state of The International, and enable you to play games with other fans for fun and bragging rights.
