The International is the pinnacle of competitive Dota 2, and this year's tournament is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory.

Can Evil Geniuses repeat as champions?

EG have been in impressive form all year long, and they will be one of the favorites to win the tournament.

Will Team Liquid finally break through?

Team Liquid have been one of the most consistent teams in Dota 2 for years, but they have never won The International.
