Already The International 8 Battle Pass sales and prize pool contribution is outpacing all of the previous years. With the prize pool starting at $1,600,000 the sales have already doubled the starting pool, bringing it to a whopping $4,030,406 ($2,430,406 added). Only 25% of the sales contribute to the prize pool meaning that $9,721,624 has already been spent in purchases merely hours after release.

NEW FOR 2018
The Underhollow:
Last year Valve introduced their first multiplayer adventure game mode with The Siltbreakwer campaign. This year, Battle Pass owners will be able to enjoy the multiteam Dungeon Clash with the storyline centering around Roshan - coming soon.
Battle through a labyrinth filled with monsters, marvels, and many other three-player enemy squads as you search for Roshan's rarest cheese and work to be the last team standing. You'll need to navigate carefully to earn the XP and Gold needed to destroy your opponents.
But don't take too long—Roshan's cheese frenzy is causing cave-ins as he moves towards the center of the Underhollow. Soon enough there will be nowhere left to run.”
