Here\u2019s everything you need to know about it (but were too afraid to ask).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-international-12\">What is The International 12?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The International, or TI for short, is <strong>the most important Dota 2 esports event <\/strong>in the world, marking the end of each Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) season in the form of a massive invitational event, with prize pools soaring into eight-digit sums. Taking place between <strong>October 12 and 29<\/strong>, with the qualifiers running between <strong>August 17 and 31<\/strong>, the teams and players will battle it out for their share of a prize pool <a href=\"https:\/\/dota2.prizetrac.kr\/international2022\">hovering around $19 million<\/a>. Valve\u2019s recently decided to change the Battle Pass system, creating a different sort of bundle to promote its mostly crowdfunded mega-rewards for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bet-on-the-international-with-bitsler\">Bet on The International with Bitsler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no better place to follow the flagship Dota 2 esports competition than Bitsler, the premiere cryptocurrency betting site.

After a pandemic-enforced absence, next year\u2019s competition was won by Tundra Esports, a team that entered the playoffs as the least-likely team to win. Year by year, the cauldron of The International tears down legends and builds up new ones in their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BkW_m33OEcE\" title=\"The International - Dota 2 Championships\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, <strong>a new tournament format <\/strong>will grace the competitors for TI 2023.

This will be followed by a <strong>playoff stage<\/strong> that will take place <strong>between October 20 and 22<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, best-of-three matches will determine which eight teams will make it to the final showdown in the arena. On Friday, the teams will battle it out for the four upper bracket slots in the main event, with Saturday and Sunday featuring the elimination matches that will whittle down the roster to the final eight.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bitsler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/double-elimination-bracket-the-internationa-main-event.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic of the double elimination bracket of The International\u2019s main event.
