Opportunity
Award-winning game developer, Valve Corporation enlisted the Connors & Co team to increase the scale of The International, a championship event for their title game DOTA 2. Valve wanted an event over 400% larger than its predecessor.
Solution
The team supported creative, technical & production management, and talent acquisition for the two-week event across 5 venues, culminating in a 4-day tournament at the sold out KeyArena. The International was broadcast live and over the web in eight languages worldwide to over 20 million viewers.
“Connors & Co. get it done. I have worked with Gloria and team for over twenty years on various events and they have always brought structure, value, and most important … fun!”
— Nathaniel Blue, Valve
