It’s almost time for a new\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0patch, and commentator Robson “TeaGuvnor” Merritt set out on a new journey to force Valve’s hand. This time, the caster attempts to complete the “world’s hardest jigsaw puzzles” until the TI12 compendium releases.<\/p>
Instead of drying out his tongue casting Dota<\/em>, TeaGuvnor decided to host an interactive live stream where he’s also completing a highly complex jigsaw puzzle. Considering how solving these puzzles requires focus and a strong memory, doing this on stream while chatting with viewers will make it even harder.<\/p>
https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/teaguvnor <\/div><\/figure>
At the time of publishing, TeaGuvnor is well over 12 hours into his livestream. Valve certainly hasn’t accelerated the release of the TI update in the past, with previous streams running for over a dozen hours before the update finally arrived.<\/p>
In his previous attempts at cornering Valve ahead of a major update, the\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0caster said “battle pass” 16,905 times on Twitch<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0spent hours counting rice<\/a>, but it will be TeaGuvnor’s spatial awareness skills on display ahead of the launch of the TI12 compendium.<\/p>
When it was announced that there would be\u00a0no battle pass for\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0in 2023<\/a>, many thought the developer could be setting the stage for disappointment. Toward the end of September, however, a\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0data leak showed that TI12’s “battle pass” could feature a visual novel<\/a>, much like the Compendium from the 2010s\u2014a standard fans wanted to see back in the game.<\/p>
Only a few days after the datamine,\u00a0Valve confirmed the TI12 update would bring back the\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>\u00a0Compendium<\/a>, and the excitement levels went through the roof. Not only would a feature from\u00a0Dota 2’s<\/em>\u00a0golden era come back, but it would also mark the start of the crowdfunding stage for The International 2023.<\/p>
Despite being only a month away, the tournament’s prize pool still remains a mystery as Valve’s attempts to try out new strategies completely shifted the timings that happened before the event. In the past, the battle pass would be released a month or two before TI, giving it enough time to raise enormous funds as a prize pool. This year, however, the Compendium will need to do some heavy lifting in a much shorter length of time.<\/p>
Until its release, however, tune in and enjoy watching TeaGuvnor stress over puzzles while chanting “Compendium” thousands of times.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
