Wait… the big news here is steam.tv. I heard the rumors but didn't know it was up?!

(it seems to work only for their own event at this time tho.)

They announced it a couple of days ago: http://blog.dota2.com/2018/08/the-main-event-with-new-steam-...

It still have limitations and bugs, yesterday it just wouldn't load for me, but it works now, and you are unable to watch yesterdays content.

The UI is very wonky, definitely looks like it was rushed last minute to release for TI. That "Watch with friends" button is pretty messed up if you're logged in. Also if you're logged in and "close" the stream tab, I don't see any way to get back to it. Definitely a work in progress.
A mod changed the URL from https://steam.tv/dota2/ after this comment was posted, presumably because the live stream was over (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17824373).
I didn't even look at the URL, I assumed this was a twitch link. Makes sense they would showcase it on their flagship game though
Looks like it's built with React
