New for 2014
Earn enhancements to your stretch goal rewards
Every 100 points will level up your Compendium. You’ll receive extra immortal treasures, obtain new custom in-game effects, get bonus Loading Screens and increase your Battle Point Booster percentage as you progress.
Higher level Compendium owners will receive various custom visuals, including modified teleport effects, base healing effects, and even new appearances for Bottle, Blink Dagger, and Dagon. These level up Custom Effects last until July 28th.
As an added bonus, if you reach level 50, you’ll receive a special alternate version of the Mini-Pudge courier when the stretch goal is reached.
Lieutenant Squawkins reporting for duty
Once your Compendium reaches Level 4, the International Courier will be yours: Kunkka's faithful Lieutenant Squawkins, a parrot unique in all the lands of Dota. Continue to develop your Compendium and you’ll unlock alternate styles for Lieutenant Squawkins at Level 24 and Level 41. The alternate styles will be available at a later date.
Evolving Battle Point Booster
You’ll see an increase to your battle pointer booster percentage as you level up. This item is unique in that it stacks with any other booster that you have active. The duration of the boost lasts from the time it’s activated until July 28th, with no limits on how many matches it can be used in nor how high the boost can go.
A trove of special items
Once the Immortal Treasure stretch goal is reached, you’ll receive an extra Immortal Treasure every 10 levels. Each time you open a treasure, you will find a different item, with a chance to get an exceptionally rare item.
New ways to compete
This year’s Compendium has several new objectives you can work toward to earn points. Take the 10 Hero Challenge, and try to win a game with each of ten randomly assigned heroes.
Offer up your unwanted items for exchange with the Offering of the Aegis. Every week your offering will be collected and Compendium Points and items will be left in its place.
Explore the new fantasy format. Each Compendium owner will be granted a ticket to compete in Dota Fantasy Season 1, starting May 19.
Cool, happy to see Empire and C9 invited instead of qualifiers or who knows what nonsense.
On the other hand, qualifiers look rather boring except for a couple of teams. I'd like many things to happen, Zephyr going nowhere close top 4 for the playoffs, a south american team doing alright and entertaining EU matches.
As for the way the coverage is going to work, looks cool. Guess it'll be up to each one to choose which casters we want to listen to every game instead of having separate regions for each studio/group of people.

Also.. EG Without MASON? :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is fear gonna be on shape after that loooooooooooong break from his injury?
Watching DK roster is like... You are all dead son!
But so far my fav team is Fnatic <3 Meepo pls
Updated the first post with both EU and NA hub information and included the list of pro players that will make an appearance during the event at the GD studio.
Second post in this thread will probably be used for the compendium information when it becomes available, i will also include stream information in the first post when possible. Oh and after the qualifiers i'll change the first post again and remove the qualifier information.
3/5 C9 members showing up for the EU hub together with Puppey and Kuro? I know what stream gets my attention, lol.
I see it reaching 4m goal easily, after that I have trouble predicting how far it'll go.
I'm just sad that I cancelled my credit card. I wish there were other payment methods because I do have the money to afford it, just that my money is in cash :(
I'll probably figure something out this year, I think a friend of my mom buys stuff for others with his credit card, just gotta figure how to get it into my steam account or w/e.

I'm just sad that I cancelled my credit card. I wish there were other payment methods because I do have the money to afford it, just that my money is in cash :(.
Why don't you try with paypal? Sure it's gonna tax you with 10% extra but it's something.
I just hope I can grab mine before the predictions close...
This month I have to pay a pomegranate ton of things.
Anyone care to gift me one and I'll pay in a month with keys ( or those 2.50 chest)?
Why don't you try with paypal? Sure it's gonna tax you with 10% extra but it's something.
Can't be bothered to check what options I have right now. Tomorrow or whenever I feel like finding out I'll do it but won't be able to buy until after monday, I think, and it sucks because qualifiers starts in 2 days? or something ._.
If I manage to figure something out and no one has helped you by the time I get to actually buy mine I'll gift you.
I'll gift you a compendium, @Words;
You can owe me in keys for when you can pay me back, if you're fine with that offer (Just remember that keys on the market are so much cheaper than keys in the dota store)
Also i'll update the first two posts in a few hours so they're fully up to date. (Just woke up)
Oh yeah, same offer obvious goes to anyone(To a degree i'm not going to buy a pomegranate ton of compendiums but i can buy a few extra, and i can always use keys,offer also stands for you @Chew; obviously )
Dude, by doing simple math.
It started at $1.6mil dollars.
Now it's at $1.9mil dollahs.
If they add $2.5 for each compendium, by simple math they already sold 120,000 compendiums!
IN LESS THAN 4 HOURS! http://dota2.cyborgmatt.com/prizetra...ernational2014
Well there's also people buying points.
But yeah and europe is only waking up + the US was asleep when it was released.
It'll grow like crazy over the next few days.
Level 103 compendium represent.
Also @Words; Don't be too down about missing qualifiers potentially, you can't vote for anything but europe qualifiers so you have 14 days or so to get a compendium if you can get one and you wont miss out on the voting.
Edit: I updated the two first posts, any comments? I'd like to make the information easily accessible and nice to look at so any ideas/suggestions are welcome. Or if you feel there's something missing.
