Besides items, the 2020 Battle Pass also brought with it a number of unique features like the Guilds, Cavern Crawn, or the Aghanim’s Labyrinth game mode which received praise from fans worldwide.
It goes without saying that the Dota 2 community has created history once again, making TI10 not only the tournament with the biggest prize pool of all time, but the first esports tournament with a prize pool of over a whopping $40 million.
