All Steam accounts now have access to Dota 2 Spectator Client.

Released in preparation for the International, this will allow viewers to switch between games they choose without the restrictions of live streams. Players can simply choose a broadcast channel for commentary and view stats in real time. Your only limitation is that you cannot play the game. The option to purchase a beta key for $30 USD is quite visible. If you can wait until release, the Spectator Client will become the full version.
