Dota 2 fans will be able to experience the grand finals of The International 2019 in a new and much anticipated way.
True Sight: The International 2019 is coming, showing the backstage drama that played out during the grand finals series between OG and Team Liquid. Valve released a short trailer for the documentary, showing what fans have to look forward to.
The trailer shows both teams discussing the action off-stage, with Sébastien “Ceb” Debs talking about OG’s strength and Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi trying to hype up Liquid. It also hints at Ivan Borislavov “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov going through a difficult stretch during the series, with someone commenting that he is “mentally done.”
OG won the series 3-1, overcoming a shocking Team Liquid comeback in game one with a three-game rally built around relentless offense. By defeating Liquid, who now play under the banner of Nigma, OG broke a long curse that saw no team or player successfully capture two TI championships. The team also brought home the top prize of over $15 million, which saw each the five players vault to the top of the all-time esports prize earnings charts.
Dota 2 True Sight 2019 release date revealed
True Sight is a documentary series that shows the backstage drama surrounding the grand finals of The International. It features a mix of clips from the backstage area, conversations in the booths on the finals stage, and dramatized clips of the biggest in-game moments.
