Was in Bellevue for a wedding this past weekend and it turned out part of The International was being played in our hotel. I don't really know much about the game other than having watched the "Free to Play" documentary by Valve. It was a pretty impressive setup, and also funny as hotel guests had to walk through the player practice area in order to access the mall that is attached to the hotel. Put some pictures in an album here:

Ended up talking to some players/casters that were staying in our hotel. Only person I recognized was 'Dendi' from the documentary. Pretty crazy how much pressure these guys are under with the amount of money that's at stake.
