Valve has announced that the next edition of The International, Dota 2’s largest annual esports event, will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark this September. This marks the first time the event will take place in Copenhagen and the third time in Europe. The tournament will feature 16 teams, four fewer than last year. Teams will qualify through a combination of open qualifiers, regional qualifiers, and direct invitations, similar to the early years of the International.
Valve stated "The stage is being set, is the point we’re trying to get across here. And why? For The International, returning this September to Europe, where the best Dota teams from around the world will clash for the Aegis in Copenhagen's Royal Arena."
"The sixteen participating teams will be a mix of open qualifiers, regional qualifiers, and direct invitations, similar to how invitations worked for the first few years of The International. The invited teams will be announced leading up to the event, and chosen based on team performance during the year."
