With a $19 million (USD) plus prize pool on offer, the biggest ever for an esports event, next week's Dota 2 International is shaping up to be the biggest event that we know of on the increasingly packed esports calendar. And you know what, it'll be a pretty cool alternative to all the chaos surrounding the Olympics in Rio.
Running from August 8 - 13 in Seattle, be sure to head on over to the
official hub for all the latest. There's schedules, links to all the live-streams, and even access to the all new 'Dota VR Hub'. Which, you guessed it, is a " Dota VR Theater to watch live matches and replays in SteamVR". Very cool.

Is the resolution high enough to get a good show of the game?

Not sure if you've seen the vids yet, but you can click onto the mini map and drop into the game at various perspectives (size of a creep, maybe 1.5x a hero, and a view about 4 metres in the air) ... its really cool watching a team fight get rolling and looking around in the first person as players pile on. The first person perspective and head tracking etc just adds a s***load of depth.
F***, now I have to go blow a couple hours watching replays again. THANKS TORG
