Valve finally shared news about The International 2025, but it wasn’t what fans were hoping for

Valve has unveiled merch timed to coincide with the upcoming start of The International 2025, but fans on social media are emphasizing that they were expecting in-game content instead.

The corresponding update has appeared in the company's store.

It's worth noting that the new The International 2025 collection includes a hoodie and a tracksuit, as well as several rugs, a mug, and a series of T-shirts with various prints. All the merch is made in the colors of the upcoming World Championship and is also decorated with the Aegis symbol.

It's worth noting that customers will not be able to receive their orders until November, when they will begin shipping. Prices for branded goods range from €15 to €95.

However, many fans are disappointed - they expected Valve to introduce a Battle Pass, Compendium 2025, or launch an in-game event dedicated to The International 2025.

Recall that earlier, data miners found hints about a possible Compendium 2025 reward in the Dota 2 update.
