One of the first things Valve talked about in the newest blog post is the new DPC website, where fans can follow along with all games, spoiler-free and in multiple languages alongside some additional features. “During the Group Stages, multiple games will be in progress at once, so the main stream will feature the Multicast, which follows the most exciting matches of the day. To watch individual games, tune into one of the sub-streams for each language”

They also introduced a Twitch integration to enhance the viewer experience by working together with the creators of the Dota 2 Tooltips Twitch Extension. You’ll be able to scroll over items and abilities to get a more in-depth clarification, participate in in-game predictions and earn Compendium Points and earn Twitch drops by simply watching over 1 hour of gameplay.
Finally there’s the Spectator Cheering, which was introduced to give viewers at least the feeling of a present live audience. “When watching a match in-client, and soon via Twitch, simply click on the team logos at the top of the screen to cheer for your team. We take all of the cheers from the entire audience and sum them up, then represent them visually on screen as well as with the roar of the crowd.”
