The International 2025 (TI14) is the premier esports event of the year in Dota 2, organized by Valve in partnership with PGL. The tournament will take place from September 4 to 14, 2025, in Hamburg, Germany, at the Barclays Arena.
The format is divided into two main phases. The first, “The Road to The International,” features a Swiss-system group stage and a special qualifying round. The group stage will be held from September 4 to 7, with sixteen teams playing five best-of-3 matches each. The top three teams advance directly to the playoffs, while teams ranked 4th to 13th continue through additional qualifying matches. Teams finishing below 15th are eliminated.
The second phase — the main event — will see eight teams compete in a Double Elimination playoff bracket. All matches leading up to the final will be played as best-of-3, while the grand final will be contested as a best-of-5.
The prize pool started at a base of $1,600,000 and is increased by 30% of sales from Supporter Bundles. By the end of August, it surpassed $1.93 million and later exceeded $2.3 million.
A total of 16 teams will participate: eight received direct invitations from Valve, while the remaining slots were filled through regional qualifiers.
