What is The International?
The International, also known as TI, is the biggest and most prestigious event of the competitive Dota 2 professional calendar.
The best Dota 2 teams compete over a multi-week period to determine who will lift the Aegis of Champions and be crowned the champions of TI.
The teams in attendance represent various regions across the globe. Most of them qualify through their regional leagues; however, the last two spots are decided through the Last Chance Qualifiers.
The prize pool for TI varies per year and is mostly crowdfunded through the sale of Dota 2 battle passes. The prize pool for TI10 last year reached a total of more than $40 million.
The International 11 will take place from October 15, 2022, to October 30, 2022.
