Dota 2 has inspired the marriage of Twitch and Steam, according to Valve’s official blog.
Twitch users will now be able to view Dota 2 tournament streams through the streaming service, while receiving item drops to their Steam account while they watch. Valve also expressed their interest in expanding their Twitch integration in future, along with taking suggestions from users.
With Twitch recently offering their broadcasting services to all developers as well as a brand new version of its SDK, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more from the service.
