For the first time since 2017Dota 2's world championship, The International, will return to Valve's hometown of Seattle, Washington. It'll take place from the middle to the end of October in Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. The International has long held prestige as the single most lucrative event in esports, with a base prize pool of US $1.6 million supplemented into the tens of millions by purchase of Dota 2's battle pass.
Valve hasn't announced ticketing or pricing information for the event yet, other than that the number of tickets available should be much higher than for previous events.
