Valve recently announced The International 2022 Swag Bag for all active Dota 2 players, and the excitement surrounding it has already reached fever pitch. This is the mother load of any bundle that the developers have released for the popular MOBA title and what’s more, it’s free.
With the faltering production quality of this year’s TI, fans were quick to joke that the Swag Bag was a great kickback.
This year’s The International finals will take place on October 29 and 30 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. The top four teams are already in place and will be looking to give it their all to get their hands on the Aegis of Champions. Yet TI 2022 has faced one problem after another.
Chief among these has been player complaints about their ability to hear spellcaster calls. The community was quick to point out that this could lead to an unfair advantage for those who can understand English.

- Your choice of an Arcana from all available in the Dota 2 store.
Players should keep in mind that to claim the rewards they must have played at least 10 Dota 2 matches during the Battle Pass season. Interested people can check how to claim the rewards here. Each item on offer is lucrative for any active Dota 2 player, but it’s the last one that really takes the cake.
Arcana is among the rarest cosmetic items available in the game, only for certain specific heroes so far, which a player can obtain and equip. Although not all Arcanes are available in the Swag Bag, the offer of a free Arcane cannot be waived.
