How to watch Clavision Masters 2025 in English

The second major Dota 2 LAN tournament in China is just hours away from starting – Clavision Masters 2025. While we’re all in the International waiting room, this is the perfect way to tide ourselves over. The event itself will feature 10 teams from all over the Dota world, and of course will include a few top Chinese teams to represent the region.

In an era where Chinese Dota hasn’t exactly enjoyed the same worldwide popularity that it did a few years ago, this tournament is a seriously welcome sight. But speaking of being a welcome sight, English speakers may be wondering how to watch Clavision Masters 2025 in English.

Not on the usual channels

As a Chinese tournament with coverage mostly limited to local broadcasters like DouYu and Huya, Clavision Masters 2025 won’t be found on any sort of official Twitch or YouTube channel unlike most tournaments from, say, Western Europe or even Southeast Asia. The aforementioned local streams are unlikely to be accessible to those who don’t live in China either, nor will they be easy to navigate unless you can read Mandarin Chinese.

So for us outside of the country, renowned shoutcaster and Chinese Dota connoisseur Benjamin “Bkop” Kopilow on his personal Twitch account will be streaming the event, presumably from his home setup.

Casting alongside him will be fellow US-based commentators Dylan “malibujesus” Elder and Shane James “roho” Bee, with malibujesus in particular also providing an alternate stream at the same time.

The tournament’s Liquipedia page also lists the BetBoom studio for the Russian broadcast and the Dota 2 Maincast channel for Ukraine, but as far as the English broadcast is concerned, only Bkop and malibujesus will have any live coverage.

In good hands

While there won’t be any other options with regards to the available shoutcasters, you need not worry. Bkop in particular has been following the Chinese Dota scene for about 10 years now, as he used to be the China region specialist for the now-defunct studio Beyond the Summit.

He’s as knowledgeable as anyone who speaks English can get about the local Dota scene, and I have no doubt that he’ll be killing it once the tournament starts. I am admittedly less familiar with malibujesus and roho, but if Bkop trusts them enough to take them on as his casting partners, then so do I.

Clavision Masters begins tomorrow, July 28th, starting with the first group stage matches at 10pm ET/7pm PT.
