Now that all eighteen teams are set to take on each other at The International 2018 in Vancouver, Valve is here with its much-awaited Compendium Update. As a result, Battle Pass owners who have been eagerly waiting for The International 2018 Compendium to live, the time is now.

According to the official blog post, the Fantasy Challenge along with a few other features are back, allowing players to not only predict the outcome of the upcoming tournament but also earn some Battle Pass points in the meantime. So, log in into Dota 2 and unwrap your Player Card Packs and begin considering which roster combinations you think will get you the most points.

“You can also select a Favorite Team this year before you even unwrap any cards. You’ll get a team logo spray, profile card, team effigy banner, and show up in that team’s fan count when spectating in DotaTV. Once you collect a full set of cards for your team, you’ll unlock special teleport effects, with upgraded versions available to those who collect full sets of silver or gold.”

And that is not all as with today’s Dota 2 Compendium Update comes Hero, Team, Player and Tournament Predictions. Correctly predicting these will not only come with bragging rights but also a bucket load of Battle Points.

The Points are going to be rewarded to the players after The International 2018 tournament comes to a close, which means you will have one more shot to get your hands on those final few Battle Pass rewards. For more information on this, check out the reward structure below:

Top 10% receives 16000 BP

Top 25% receives 8000 BP

Top 50% receives 4000 BP

So test out your knowledge of the professional scene or if you need some help, stay tuned as we are going to be making our predictions soon.

In other news, The International 2018 Prize Pool is on the verge of hitting the 20 million USD mark. Though this is lower than the prize pool of The International 2017, we think the final amount will be a little higher than the previous prize pool. However, this is just a speculation. So, comment below and let us know what you think of all this. Do you think the introduction of the Compendium Update will give the Battle Pass a significant boost in terms of its prize pool?
