The International 2025 in Hamburg

The International 2025 in Hamburg

The 2025 edition of The International, TI14, will take place in Hamburg, Germany.

Dota 2’s biggest event will run from September 11 until September 14. This is the first time The International has taken place in Germany since its inaugural tournament in 2011. The debut tournament took place during Gamescom in Cologne.

In the following years, the tournament has taken place across the globe in locations such as Seattle, Vancouver, Bucharest, Shanghai, Singapore, and most recently, Copenhagen.

Last year’s finalists will compete against each other across several tournaments before The International 2025 takes place. The two teams are among those participating in the BLAST Slam II event taking place from February 3rd to 9th, 2025.

2025 is set to be a year full of Dota 2 events operated by several event organisers, including the likes of ESL FACEIT Group.

Exact details on the format are not currently available, but the news post suggests that this will once again be a case of open qualifiers, regional qualifiers, and direct invitations leading to a 16 team final.

TI14 is set to be another chance for Valve to prove it’s still the king of Dota 2 events.

In the announcement, Valve stated: “The stars have aligned and the stage is once again being set for cosmic battle. And this time, that battle has returned to where it all began: Germany, the site of The International’s humble debut on the world stage, where it was watched in person by many tens of people. Now, fourteen years later, The International returns to Germany, to Hamburg’s Barclays Arena September 11th – 14th — in front of, we trust, a slightly bigger crowd this time around.”
