Dota 2 TI12 Group Stage Day 1 Results And Report: Teams Standing, Points Table And More
The International Dota 2 Championships 2023—also referred to as TI 2023 or TI 12—will take place in Seattle, Washington, and serve as both the culmination of the current Dota Pro Circuit season and the twelfth annual edition of The International. The invitation procedure is the same as the last International; teams will be admitted to The International based on a point system determined by officially sponsored Regional Leagues and Majors.
This year’s The International is divided into two different parts, unlike previous years. The Road to The International comprises the group stage and playoffs (up to the top 8 teams), while The International itself comprises the playoffs for the final 8 teams.
In the next few weeks, spectators can expect to see fierce Dota 2 matchups during The International 12 (TI12), which will serve as the exciting cap to the 2023 competitive season. The event, which takes place over three weekends from October 12 to October 29, 2023, will include 20 teams. The competition will consist of a two-phase group stage, followed by the Playoffs and International, which are the two parts of the Main Event. Here is a look at the teams competing in TI12, along with the schedule and additional details on the tournament’s group stage.
