Defense of the Ancients or DOTA 2, one of the most well known games in the world, developed by Valve, holds its most prestigious tournament, The Internationals, every year, and this year is no different either.
DOTA 2’s the International 2022, or more colloquially known as Ti11, will be the largest iteration of the tournament yet.
According to the announcement made by Valve, this year’s tournament will feature 30 teams so far (the largest in the tournament’s history) and will span four different weekends this coming October.
October 8 to 12 will be the last chance qualifiers, a new stage in the tournament. So far, not much has been revealed regarding the format or the rules of these qualifiers.
Then on October 15 to 18, official group stages will commence, featuring the final 20 teams of the tournament.
Meanwhile, this will also be the first time that the main stage will be held in two separate locations. October 20 to 23 will play host to the play-offs which will be held in the iconic Suntec Singapore, while the finals, which will be from October 29 to 30, will be held in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
