More about The International 2023

The International 2023 is a milestone event in the world of esports!

Introduction

The International, the flagship Dota 2 tournament organized by Valve Corporation, has always been one of the most anticipated and prestigious competitions in the esports world. Every year, teams from different countries fight for the title of champions and the prize fund, which is becoming more and more significant. The International 2023 will also be a memorable event in the history of esports, including unique moments, incredible tension and new records.

The International 2023 prize pool

One of the important aspects of The International is the gigantic prize pools. Valve continues to use a crowdfunding model where players and fans can purchase the Battle Pass and contribute to the prize pool. So far, the Battle Pass for 2023 has not been announced, but it is already expected to be big. You can always follow the current prize pool on this page in the "Tournament Information" section. Also, as soon as the prize fund starts to change, the site will immediately bring up the latest information.

Path to The International

The International 2023 was preceded by the DPC (Dota Pro Circuit) league, which determined the teams that qualified for the tournament. The DPC League is a qualification system and regular tournaments organized by Valve that determine the strongest teams in the world of Dota 2.

The DPC League has not only become a platform for discovering the strongest teams, but also provided a constant stream of emotions and exciting matches for Dota 2 fans. Each DPC tournament was full of tension, strategic maneuvers and unexpected results.

The competition at The International 2023 promises to be quite high. Top teams from all over the world competed in the DPC league throughout the year to qualify for the main tournament. Fans have witnessed incredible matches where the teams showcased their best strategies and talents. But what awaits us in TI13, we will see a little later.

In any case, each team strives to show their skills and claim the title of champions. But everyone understands that the main thing is the prize fund of several million US dollars.

Triumph of the winners

In the final part of The International, usually the team that has shown the greatest skill, strategic thinking and game skills becomes the champion. The whole world has more than once watched the winners of the ints raise the cup and admired their skills. The winners received a large sum of money as a prize, as well as respect and recognition from the esports community. I think it's worth listing the latest champions of The International, these are:

  • Tundra Esports

  • Team Spirit

  • OG

  • Team Liquid

  • Wings Gaming

  • Evil Geniuses

  • new bee

  • The Alliance

  • Invictus Gaming

  • Natus Vincere

So in October of this year we expect another champion to be added to this list!

Impact on the development of esports

The International, as a series of tournaments, also had a significant impact on the development of esports in general. The sophistication of the tournament, the huge prize pool and the status of the event attracted even more attention from esports organizations, investors and sponsors. This has helped to attract new talent and grow the professional Dota 2 scene, as well as cementing the position of esports as a recognized form of entertainment and sport.

Conclusion

The International 2023 will be a real esports event of the highest level. Huge attention is guaranteed, because this tournament is comparable to the final of the Champions League in football. The increase in the prize pool, fierce competition and exciting gaming moments will make the tournament unforgettable for Dota 2 fans. The International 2023 is one of the most significant and prestigious events in the world of esports, so our editors, like all of you, are looking forward to this significant event.
