International 2020 - where and how can you see the Dota 2 tournament?

In 2011, the dota 2 international prize fund was $ 1.6 million. The total prize pool was comparable to the first place prize. 9 years later, according to the level of organization, the size of the Dota 2 International prize fund is comparable to sending people into space.

• The prize fund for the first place exceeds $ 33.7 million;
• The total amount of remuneration is approximately $ 175 million;
• More than 18 announced teams can expect to receive prize money.

Where is International Dota 2 taking place? The original date and location was set for April 2020, in Stockholm. Due to unforeseen conditions of the pandemic, the international dota 2 was announced for November 2020 (the information may be changed at any time - perhaps due to pandemic restrictions, the tournament will be postponed to 2021). The developer has extended the Battle Pass 2020 until September 19, 2020.

Qualifying Tournament This year's tournament will be open to the top 12 DPC teams of the season and the 6 selected regional qualifier winners.
Regional tournaments are in the competence of Valve (divisions are distributed geographically - South and North America, China, Southeast Asia, CIS and Europe).

Since the 2017/18 qualifying tournament, for the first time, points have been assigned not to a specific participant, but to a team. This is done so that when a player is transferred to another team at the qualifying stage, the number of points awarded remains unchanged. A team can change the lineup of international Dota 2 players an unlimited number of times.

In past years, the Dota 2 international grid was very tight - the teams did not have the opportunity to conduct a high-quality training session and perform well. The International 2020 qualifier is designed for 10 tournaments (five major and five minor).



Formation of the prize fund Payments to the winners are formed on the following conditions:

• the bulk falls directly on Dota 2 fans;
• part of the amount will be transferred by the developer Valve;
• less than 10% are formed from sponsorship and advertising budgets of the tournament.

Each player purchases a Battle Pass - a battle pass. The minimum price is $ 10. 25% of the original amount goes to fund the prize fund, the rest goes to organizational events.



Where can I watch the broadcast of the tournaments? The gazobeton-nsk.ru website provides information on the official Dota 2 streams (available Stream TV or Twitch platforms). The tournament can be watched offline - tickets are sold only by the official venue in Stockholm, Sweden.
Every year, millions of players watch Dota 2 on Twitch alone; in the Russian-speaking segment, their share is over 500 thousand people.
