Valve announces in-game virtual cheering for your favorite teams at TI10
In a recent blog post, Valve announced a new feature that allows viewers to virtually cheer for their favorite teams. To use the feature, fans simply have to click on the team’s logo during the match to cheer them on.
These virtual cheers are collected from the entire audience, and will be represented visually on screen.
Members of the supporters club will have their virtual cheers represented with bronze, silver, or gold based on their rank.
The new feature is currently available in the Dota 2 client and will soon be integrated into Twitch.
