The good news: The International 2016 is one month away. The bad news: You only have July and August left to work on your Compendium! As of writing, TI 2016's prize pool is $17,212,485. If last year's total of $18,429,613 is broken, each Battle Pass owner will receive three 'Trust of the Benefactor' treasures. One month remains, and we appear to be on pace to challenge 2015's prize pool.
Unsurprisingly, the TI 2016 - 24 Battle Pass Levels was last month's most popular item; it offers the most bang for your buck compared to the 5-level and 11-level options. The International 2016 Collector's Cache is second on our list. This item was launched in June and offers exclusive items released in conjunction with TI 2016. Two weekends ago, Valve held a special weekend Battle Level Bundle deal. The deal has since expired, but you can check out the offering here. We hope you didn't miss it!
When it comes to non-Compendium items, some familiar faces (Nested Treasure II, Artificer's Chisel, Artificer's Hammer, and Treasure of the Nested Cache) remained on our list. Just missing out on a top 10 spot were Team Pennant: Newbee, which appeared four times in the daily top 10, and Team Pennant: NaVi, which appeared twice. Unsurprisingly, both these teams have qualified for TI 2016. A Team Pennant in your Armory increases that team's Pennant Score in Valve-supported tournament matches and makes you eligible to receive item drops when you spectate the team's live matches. Unsurprisingly, both these teams have qualified for TI 2016.
