The International 2025 will mark the return of the Dota 2 extravaganza to Germany for the first time since the inaugural version was held at GamesCom in 2011. However, the tournament has undergone several changes and modifications to its structure and format, including how teams advance to the championship.
Since the removal of the Dota Pro Circuit, the majority of teams receive a direct invitation based on their performance throughout the year leading up to The International (TI). Regional qualifiers will also allow teams a last chance to qualify for the championship, even if the remainder of their season has not been up to par.
Here’s everything you need to know about the qualified teams for The International 2025.

Ever since the removal of the DPC, the qualification of teams has remained a mystery for The International. Valve only reveals the list of teams invited to the tournament closer to the tournament.
However, Valve recently announced a list of eight teams that have been sent a direct invite for The International 2025. Additionally, they have confirmed that the remaining eight slots will be filled by teams that advance through the regional qualifiers.
Valve has allocated two slots each to Western Europe and Southeast Asia, while China, Eastern Europe, North America, and South America have been assigned one slot each. Here’s the full list of qualified teams for TI14:
