DotaTV has a 15-minute delay

In a new patch for Dota 2, Valve added the ability to activate a 15-minute delay in the lobby of tournament matches instead of manually setting such a time. This feature will be a great help for streamers who will broadcast the Dota 2 championships on their channels.

The 15-minute delay is not the only innovation. Now, when buying artifacts, notifications do not overlap the store window, which could previously interfere.

Let us remind you that from September 15th, Valve has a new rule for independent streamers who want to broadcast championships on their own with their subsequent commenting. Tournament operators are now defining the requirements that streamers can use to broadcast tournaments on their channels. The rules include both advertising banners and delays and so on.
