10 vs. 10 Dota revealed at The International All-Star Game

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Team N0Tail defeated Team ChuaN at the All-Star Game of The International Dota 2 Championships, and it was an absolute mess in the best possible way. Every year we’re given a wrinkle that makes an already ridiculous game of Dota even goofier. Last year we saw Techies unveiled for the first time. This year it was a ludicrous 10 vs. 10 custom game.

Kaci revealed that starting next week Dota 2 players would be able to play 12 vs. 12 custom games. The All-Star contest was 10 vs. 10, with fans being added to the mix along with Dota professionals. It was a great sight to see as members of the crowd came down from the stands to join the players selected.

There was one small surprise: A fan dressed as Pudge was selected with the final pick of Team Chaun and just before game time it was revealed that Dendi was under the mask. Pudge playing 10 vs. 10 resulted in over 5,700 health in a sloppy contest that featured a 75,000 gold swing and lots of laughs.

If you’re wondering what a mess 10 vs. 10 looks like, here it is.

This is going to be a hot mess.
