Is Dota TV down? How to watch tournament matches inside Dota 2's client
Almost all major Dota 2 tournaments broadcast their footage on streaming platforms. Twitch and YouTube are often the two preferred platforms, but there's also a third alternative. Dota TV is an in-game spectating system that allows players to watch professional matches inside the game's client. When players tune into a match, they'll do so as if they just started spectating the match of someone from their friends list. The overall graphical quality will be noticeably higher than any stream output and players will still be able to listen to the casters.
