As the game gears up to exit is beta stages and finally release as a full-fledged title, the Dota 2 developers have announced the launch of a new feature for it. A spectator client for this much awaited game is live now on Steam and can be accessed by all users of the service.
With the fresh trait, gamers will be able to watch any live or recent matches of the title. Moreover, they will even be able to see ‘The International’ content on this feature. Currently, the maker of the game has enabled every spectator feature including player perspective, commentators and directed view.
“Today we are announcing that every Steam account now has access to the Dota 2 Spectator Client. With The International around the corner we want everyone to have access to the best possible way of watching the matches, and that’s where the new Spectator Client comes in,” read a message from the Dota team on the game’s official blog.
Gamers will be able to have this as their full client once the developer expands its server capacity. Following this, traits such as matchmaking, chat, persona and more will also be added. Meanwhile, it has also been announced that the game’s The International page has been updated with new information on the tournament structure, teams and brackets.
Dota 2 will be released for PC and Mac later this year, and will act as a sequel to immensely popular Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Valve will be playing developer as well as publisher for this digital release which is still to be dated.
