Experience the first International through the eyes of players who lived it. Free to Play is a documentary detailing the efforts of three Dota 2 players as they battle to win the first million dollar grand prize in the history of competitive video games. Head over to the Free to Play website to watch the trailer and learn more about the film.

After the film is released, you’ll be able to show your support for the featured players by purchasing the Free to Play Competitor Pack, which will be available through the Dota 2 store and Steam. Buy the Competitor Pack and you’ll receive several in-game rewards including pro player item sets for Pudge, Doom, and Sven. You’ll also obtain a Free to Play courier, a special ward, and a custom HUD skin. Plus a portion of each purchase will go toward the players featured in the film.

Free to Play releases on March 19.

Interesting. Valve sure are a different type of game developer, pushing Linux, Steam Box and now this.

Also: PC master race!
 
"10 years ago competitive gaming didn't exist" counter strike , quake , cpl , wcg didn't exist? what an idiot
 
They probably mean it doesn't exist in the way that it does now. Esports is massive now, way bigger than it was 10 years ago.

They showed this at TI3 and its apparently amazing, can't wait to see it :)
 
You don't have to buy it, there is an option to support the people involved and get dota 2 items but you can watch it for free.

pro gaming has been going on since at least the late 90's
fatality started pro gaming in 1998 and I doubt he was anywhere near the first. (first pro gamer I can remember)

when did competitive gaming start in korea? must have been before 1998 surely

which already ended and 32 million people watched.

I guess it's a very biased documentary and they don't want to mention LOL since valve wishes dota2 was as big

Indeed, it existed 14 years ago for sure as I won £2000 at an Unreal Tournament 99 LAN event, it felt pretty competitive to me at the time.

TI1 was in 2011. Don't think lol has anything to do with this documentary?
 
LOL.

TI1 was in 2011 but nice try, I don't think Valve are complaining about how big dota is, its growing rapidly and its already way better than LoL will ever be.

$1 million going to the championship winning team? at TI3 the winner got $1.4million.

well I guess not but still a blatant lie in the description of the docu

it's clearly only the 3rd or possibly 4th time 1 million was the grand prize in competitive video gaming history
 
so far from the first 1mil prize in competitive gaming then.

lol the description in the op isn't even the one on the youtube video anyway they changed the wording to first 1mil prize in a dota2 comp

but still makes you wonder what else they got wrong in the vid when already 2 things were

Arknor, stop being silly, TI1 was first.

Stop even trying to give LoL credit.

so why did they change the wording from the ops quote?
It's like they thought it was then realised it wasn't.

I didn't know about TI1 I assumed this video was about the 2013 competition ?

anyway I don't play dota2 or lol , I'm just terribly anal
 
No matter how hard Valve tries to push Dota 2, it will never surpass LoL because their game is just a Dota Allstars reskin.

LoL brought significant improvements that pushed forward the MOBA genre and it's generally superior from gameplay mechanics to match making, all of it without the backing of a multibillion company that has a virtual monopoly in certain parts of the industry.
