Approx. Total Winnings:
OG was created as the new team of former (monkey) Business players. The team’s breakthrough came at the Frankfurt Major in late November, 2015. They fought through the lower bracket, defeating TI5 champions Evil Geniuses and runner-ups CDEC Gaming. By winning the 2017 Kiev Major, OG became the first team in Dota 2 history to win four Dota Major Championships. In August 2018, OG became the first team to win The International from the open qualifiers. The grand finals of the event were the subject of a 2018 episode of «True Sight», making OG the only team to be featured in the series more than once. In August 2019, OG became the first team to win more than one TI by winning TI9, also becoming the first back-to-back TI winners in the history of the game.
Team OG was originally formed under the name (monkey) Business and was comprised of both experienced veterans in n0tail and Fly as well as new and upcoming talents in Miracle-, Cr1t- and MoonMeander. The team achieved their breakthrough during the Frankfurt Major, defeating European powerhouse Team Secret in the grand finals. The team continued to have a strong presence in the European Dota scene, but after a fourth-place finish at The Summit 4, OG’s dominance began to wane and ended with a 7-8th place finish in the Shanghai Major. Despite this, the team rebounded with a 3rd place finish at EPICENTER and claimed a second Dota Major Championship title at the Manila Major. The squad proceeded to defeat Natus Vincere at ESL One Frankfurt 2016, winning the tournament and securing their invite to The International 2016.

Cumulative Prize Pool:
The International, often abbreviated as TI, is an annual tournament organized by Valve. In 2015 Valve increased their number of hosted events, founding the Dota Major Championships which incorporates The International into its structure. The International is the longest-standing and most popular event on the professional Dota 2 calendar.
The first International drew attention due to its staggering $1.6 million USD prize pool, the highest prize pool of any single esports tournament at that time. Since 2013, the community has been able to contribute to the prize pool by purchasing the Compendium or Battle Pass where 25% of the sale goes to the prize pool. As a result, each succeeding International has higher prize pool than the previous International and had the largest prize pool for any single esports tournament at the time, this record was achieved in every iteration of the tournament from 2013 to 2021 (the prize pool surpassed $10 million in 2014, $20 million in 2016, $30 million in 2019 and $40 million in 2021) until the streak was broken by The International 2022 where the prize pool is $18 million, more than half lower compared to the previous International. The International 2023 had a prize pool of $3 million, the lowest since 2013.
The International 2011 was held in Cologne, Germany, during the trade show Gamescom 2011. The International was then held in Seattle, United States for six years from 2012 to 2017 (Benaroya Hall — 2012, 2013, KeyArena — 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017). Due to redevelopment on KeyArena, The International 2018 was held in Vancouver, Canada at Rogers Arena. The International 2019 was held in Shanghai, China at Mercedes-Benz Arena, taking place in Asia for the first time. The tenth International was originally scheduled to take place in Stockholm, Sweden at Avicii Arena in 2020, but was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was then relocated to Bucharest, Romania at Arena Națională due to potential issues with COVID-19 related restrictions in Sweden. The tenth International also featured artificial crowd cheer as the event was held without audience.
The International 2022 was held in Singapore at Suntec Singapore Convention Centre and Singapore Indoor Stadium, returning to Asia for the second time and the first time in Southeast Asia. It is also the first iteration where the the main event was split and held in two different venues, the first part is commonly known as Playoffs while the second part is commonly known as Finals or The International itself. The International 2023 was held in Seattle, United States at Seattle Convention Center and Climate Pledge Arena (formerly KeyArena), marking a return to the location after six years.
In 2024, the location of the next The International tournament was revealed as Copenhagen, Denmark.
To date, The International has been held in North America, Western Europe, China, and Southeast Asia.
The base prize pool is $1,600,000 USD.
