The most famous DOTA esports tournament The International is returning to the city where the whole story began. This year's edition will take place from September 11 - 14 in Hamburg, Germany, where 16 teams will compete for the title of the best. Many of them will receive direct invitations, while others will meet in qualifiers through open and regional competitions.
Details about the schedule and ticket prices are still unknown, last year's edition was a bit more expensive so there is hope that this year more viewers will have the opportunity to purchase tickets. Last year's edition was won by Team Liquid, who claimed the Aegis trophy for the second time and became the third team with two won competitions.
