13 teams were selected by Valve and were sent personal invitations to compete in the tournament and were announced during the week of April 23rd — 30th. The teams who were not directly invited had a chance to qualify through two qualifiers divided by geographical region. These invitational tournaments were appropriately named the Eastern Qualifiers and the Western Qualifiers. The winners of these qualifiers were directly invited to the tournament while the runner-ups of each tournament were flown to compete for the final spot in the tournament through a qualification game in Seattle.
1 LGD Gaming’s invite was revoked due to roster changes. Instead they were forced to play in the Eastern Qualifier and their invite spot was given to TongFu.

The International Dota 2 Championship was held in Seattle, Washington, at the Benaroya Hall. It was the world’s largest Dota 2 tournament, based on prize pool. The event was held from August 8 to August 11, 2013, at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington. This event is the third tournament to bear the name ‘The International.’ The first International was held in 2011 at Gamescom while the second International was held in 2012 in Seattle.
Out of the 16 participating teams, 13 were invited, with two of the remaining teams receiving their place in the tournament via two invite-only geographic qualifier tournaments, the «West Qualifier» and the «East Qualifier.» The final team received their place by winning the Wildcard Match between the runners-up of the two qualifier tournaments.
9 июля 2023 года Dota 2 отметила свой юбилей. M OBA от компании Valve, ставшая одной из самых популярных онлайн-игр в мире, исполнилось 10 лет с момента релиза.
Dota 2 официально вышла 9 июля 2013 года в цифровом магазине Steam. M OBA является продолжением DotA – пользовательской карты-модификации для Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos и дополнения к ней Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
Разработка Dota 2 началась в 2009 году, когда Valve приняла на работу основного разработчика DotA под ником IceFrog. 13 октября 2010 года на игровом портале Game Informer игра была анонсирована к выходу в 2011 году. В июле 2013 года состоялся полноценный релиз Dota 2, после того, как два года тайтл находился в стадии бета-тестирования
Изначально Dota 2 была выпущена на игровом движке Source, после чего в 2015 году была портирована на Source 2, став первой работающей на нём игрой. На данный момент все матчи проходят на патче 7.33d.
20 июня стало известно, что Valve не будет больше выпускать Battle Pass к TI. Компания решила сосредоточится на контенте. Это напрямую повлияет на призовой фонд главного турнира года по Dota 2, ведь 25% с боевого пропуска шло именно туда.
The International 12 (2023) вновь пройдёт в Сиэтле, США, где уже состоялось шесть турниров серии TI. Согласно слухам, 20 команд со всего мира разыграют как минимум три миллиона долларов призовых. Valve поделится подробностями чемпионата позднее. Скорее всего, игроки смогут увеличить призовой фонд TI12.
В сегодняшнем обновлении Valve добавили в Dota 2 новую сокровищницу в честь десятой годовщины игры, которую сообщество отпраздновало еще 9 июля. Официальное заявление от разработчиков звучит следующим образом.
Некоторые старцы шепчут, что Древние — непостижимые вторженцы, зловещие осколки Безумной луны, неподвластные времени и навеки обречённые сражаться — существовали и будут существовать всегда. А по прикидкам других старцев Древним около десяти лет — всё зависит от того, к какому лесному волшебнику вы обратитесь. Так или иначе, нам милее старцы с конкретной позицией и круглые числа.
So, put on your party hats and join the celebration in honor of the anniversary of the game: we remember what cornerstones (as well as semi-keystones and even ordinary) stones made up a decade-long road.
What is a holiday without gifts? From now until September 7th, victory will award a commemorative treasure containing one of thirteen special items associated with the game’s eventful years. In order not to miss a single reward, just win until you get them all.
But seriously, we are very lucky to have the support of such a community, and we are glad that we shared this path with you. So in the coming weeks, let’s play and celebrate 10 years of Dota together! We look forward to every game.
The chest contains 13 commemorative items, including a Roshan skin, a Mauler skin, Gabe Newell’s voice lines, and more. To get the chest, you just need to win one match in Dota 2 (two matches in Turbo). The promotion will run until September 7th.

Our story begins back in 1998 with a game like StarCraft, developed by Blizzard Entertainment. And as many people know StarCraft is an RTS strategy, and very successful. The reason for success here is quite simple — accurate and random-free mechanics, which opened up a lot of opportunities for competition between players, where only personal skill decides.
Now let’s fast forward a few years to the release date of Warcraft III — 2002. Like StarCraft Warcraft was an RTS real-time strategy game, but it had many advantages. But the most important feature of the game is the map editor.
Modification «Defense of the Ancients» created with this editor started a new genre of games, which is now called MOBA.
DOTA is one of the greatest phenomena in the gaming world in recent years. A project that began life as a modest mod, became the forerunner of a new thriving genre that can win the hearts of millions of players around the world.
Games like DOTA are characterized by a combination of RTS and arcade elements. Instead of an entire army, we lead a single hero equipped with a solid resource of special abilities. The game involves two teams of 5 people, and in most cases their task is to destroy the base of the opposing team. Computer-controlled alliances help them achieve this goal. Another hallmark of MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is the strong emphasis on player skill and close collaboration with the rest of the team.
Games of this genre did not just appear out of nowhere. The very first game in the genre can be considered released in 1989 by Herzog Zwei for the Sega Genesis console. Many PC RTS games, such as Command & Conqer or Age of Empires 2, were also created by fans of the genre, and the products in many ways resembled what we now call MOBAs. But the real start of this trend was the Aeon of Strife fancard from the first StarCraft. But everyone was waiting for a phenomenal revolution in the genre. And it started with DOTA.
Released in 2002, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos had an editor with which you could create your own maps. The result was a real era of fan cards. One Blizzard fan, known as Eul, released a Defense of the Ancients mod in mid-2003. The first version of DotA was extremely primitive.
Players could control slightly modified heroes known from the Reign of Chaos campaign. And the balance of the game itself left much to be desired. At first, the map did not evoke any emotions, and it was difficult for her to gather players around her. To make matters worse, after a while, Eul abandoned his modification and almost missed the end of the whole story. Fortunately, the group of fans was already so large that many of them decided to continue this project on their own. As such, many variations of the map have emerged, including DotA Ice, DotA Hell, and DotA Chaos. This development of the situation greatly increased the popularity of the genre, but at the same time brought new problems. Each version of the map was developed separately, which led to the split of the online community into many groups that were not very friendly to each other. Instead of just borrowing gameplay features, Eula decided to create a mod that combines elements from all versions of DotA. Thus, DotA Allstars was born. For the community, this was a real gift. Soon, most of the fans switched to the new map, and the popularity of the project began to grow at an impressive pace. Of course, it wasn’t without problems.
A lot of hassle and problems were brought to the developers by the transition to the additional engine Warcraft III: «The Frozen Throne», but thanks to constant contact with the players, most of the shortcomings and bugs were quickly eliminated. Unfortunately, the project became so popular that at some point the creators could no longer develop it further. As a result, the game was «orphaned» for the second time.
Eula soon gave the mod to his friend IceFrog from Guinsoo, who is working on the game until today. The creator introduced a lot of new characters and objects, and to all this, he was able to balance it all well. In 2010, mod’s current population was already 7-11 million, not counting Chinese players. DotA has also become a regular guest at esports tournaments.
The crazy popularity of Defense of the Ancients did not escape the attention of professional studios. The first attempt at a commercial DotA game was Demigod, which debuted on the market in April 2009. Just before the premiere, it seemed to everyone that an incredible game was being prepared. In addition, there was no professional competition in the market
Gas Powered Games, thanks to Supreme Commander, has been recognized as one of the best teams specializing in RTS. But all this could not save this project from a spectacular defeat. It all started when GameStop started selling the game five days before the official release date. The multiplayer servers weren’t ready yet.
The success of DotA has finally caught the attention of the true giant of the PC industry — Valve Software. In October 2009, the world learned that she herself had hired IceFroga as the head of a new production team. It soon became clear that the project he created would not become another spiritual heir to fashion. Instead, Valve decided to create an official sequel and filed for the DOTA trademark.
DotA has changed the PC gaming market by creating an entirely new and hugely popular genre.
