Valve announces major format overhaul for Dota 2’s The International ahead of TI12

Story Highlights:

Previous versions of The International saw the group stage and part of the playoffs take place throughout the week leading up to the grand finals at the end of week two—a fortnight’s worth of non-stop Dota action.

The main change to the format, which was announced in an Aug.4 Valve blog post, will see the event broken into three stages held over weekends.

Valve has today confirmed sweeping changes to the format for this year’s version of The International, with a focus on improving the tournament for a “broader range of fans”, as well as boosting viewer accessibility in-person as well as online.
