Dota 2 - The International Compendium 2015

It might not be worth for profit, even if u are thinking selling the immortal items later. But if you like dota 2 then I think it's fine. It gives you alot of effects and stuff you might not get later on, like weather and desert theme. You can get rewards by watching games as well.

I still don't know if I should buy it or not, have to think about it. Because idk if I will have time to lvl up to get lvl rewards.

We just don't know yet if items will be marketable, the previous ones were. Compendiums are the way to support internationals. You might get couple of cents back from the items it will give.
Will you be able to make profit? No way. Too many players, those items will flood the market. About leveling your compendium it's up to you, depends on how much money you wanna trow in.

That is something that bothers me as well

dude, it's a money grabbing shit that compendium

Not worthy.

Last year I bought, but I no longer play Dota, so I won't buy it this year.
But it has some nice things this year.

It depends on. If you think about it as a profit maker, don't even bother to buy it. It's not worth it. However, if you think about it as a chance to get some this event only items (they might be restricted from trading so you won't be able to buy it on the market) and you enjoy to watch game streams then go ahead and buy it. 10€ per year is not something you can't afford (I guess).

It really depends of how determined you are about the game. Maybe you want to support the tournament, maybe you want the items. I bought one, no regrets

The chances of getting profits from this very very small. Just look at the price of last year's gifts, ticket prices remained the same.

The International 2015 is sponsored by Steam Workshop and Bethesda.

Anybody knows how long will this compendium last? Cuz I was thinking of getting it next month so I wanted to know if it's still worth it.

Well I personally wouldnt be getting. Was happy when friend showed me the news but when I checked the rewards I made up my mind to pass.

1. Stretch goals already up to $15mil? DAFUQ! Last year with much lower stretch goal at first and once reached long before the tournament everybody wondered what would happen next but for this year Valve is just all in . I'm not saying its unreachable(you will see in point 2) but you are seeing the Valve's expectations for this year $60mil +
2. Compendium Level rewards - last year we had exclusives up to lvl50 which was good.You could spent $30 and play a bit to reach it but now its up to lvl175(or 250 if you want the effigy) - so you have to pay a bit more - ~$120 or so(I think its less too lazy to do the math) . There will be people that will get it thats for sure but at this point I feel like Valve is seeing their customers as piggy banks.

Now I personally like to support tournaments(The Summit,Starladder from the big ones) but this International is putting me off.

The only new feature is the coins for sets so you might want to check it out before making your decision.

Overall wait and see for rest of the stretch goals and immortal treasures - by waiting you are only losing the coins event.

Last year, I shelled $100+ on the compendium (my compendium lvl was around 200+), but this year I'm not buying it.

I stopped playing dota 2 after valve made some stupid changes back to back. If you want to support valve, sure go ahead. But I'm not purchasing the compendium this year to make a point that I don't approve with the recent changes in dota 2 and in steam.

I seriously agree on all points said by this guy here: http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/Ar62SAS

Useless.

How long will I be able to level up compendium, if I decide to buy it?

If you have spare 200$ sure go for it .
Its not really good tho...
