The International 2025 will mark the return of the Dota 2 extravaganza to Germany for the first time since the inaugural version was held at GamesCom in 2011. However, the tournament has undergone several changes and modifications to its structure and format, including how teams advance to the championship.
Since the removal of the Dota Pro Circuit, the majority of teams are given a direct invite based on their performance throughout the year leading up to TI. Regional qualifiers will also allow teams a last chance to qualify for the championship, even if the remainder of their season has not been up to par.
Here’s everything you need to know about the qualified teams for The International 2025.
