With Valve at its forefront, it’s only natural the game will get multiple esports events, though few can match up to the level of finesse and excitement fans expect from The International.

Valve is making significant changes to The International 2025 [1], Dota 2’s premier tournament, to ensure that “every single match has stakes.” The event will feature a revamped Swiss-format Group Stage, a Special Elimination Round, and adjustments to Playoff seeding.

The remaining 10 teams will compete in the Special Elimination Round, where higher-seeded teams face lower-seeded ones. Winners move on to the Playoffs, while the losers are eliminated. Eight teams in total will advance to The International proper.

The International Proper (September 11-14)


Valve’s changes aim to improve competitive integrity, ensuring that every match matters. The company acknowledged issues in past TIs where some round-robin matches had no real impact and designed the new format to avoid similar problems.
