Level 2000 Collector’s Baby Roshan
Any user with a level 2000 Battle Pass will have a custom Roshan version in-game and can claim a collector’s statue of a Baby Roshan. For two years now, Valve has shipped out Collector’s Aegises to level 1000 Battle Pass owners. The Baby Roshan is an additional incentive for high level users. More information be found here.
Battle Pass duration extended
Earlier this week, Valve announced a few things related to TI with one important piece of information at the end. The Battle Pass duration has been extended and it will now last until September 18. This is in response to many questions surrounding Silt Breaker Act II and how long Battle Pass owners would be able to play the second Act, considering the delay on the first one. The announcement can be found here.
