Seattle To Host Dota 2 The International 2023

Dota 2 enthusiasts, the wait is finally over! The International, the biggest esports tournament in the world, is returning to Seattle in October 2023. The twelfth instalment of the Valve MOBA will take place in Washington state, promising to be an epic event that gamers won’t want to miss.

The tournament, which traditionally boasts the highest prize pool in competitive video game tournaments, will be held from October 27-29. However, the group stages, which will be called “The Road to The International,” will commence on October 14, followed by the playoffs.

Valve, the developer of Dota 2, announced the event through a short video featuring a mysterious figure dusting off the Aegis of Champions – the ultimate prize awarded to the winners of the tournament. The package was then stamped “Priority Package: Ship to Seattle, October 2023,” and shipped to its destination.

Despite the lower prize pool of $18.9 million in 2022, the overall winnings for The International have remained unrivaled. The victorious Tundra Esports team brought home a whopping $8.5 million, while the 2021 winners, Team Spirit, secured a staggering $18.2 million in prize money.
