The International 2025 will return to Germany, marking its presence for the first time since the very first event at GamesCom in 2011. Over the years, the tournament has seen several alterations in its format and structure, especially regarding the team qualification process for the championship.
With the discontinuation of the Dota Pro Circuit, most teams will receive direct invitations based on their performance in the lead-up to The International (TI). Additionally, regional qualifiers provide teams with one last opportunity to qualify for the championship, even if their earlier season has not been successful.
Here’s a comprehensive overview of the teams that have secured their spots for The International 2025.
Teams Qualified for The International 2025
The qualification process for teams participating in The International has become somewhat enigmatic since the elimination of the DPC. Valve typically releases the list of invited teams closer to the tournament date.
However, Valve has revealed a list of eight teams that have received direct invitations for The International 2025. There will also be eight additional slots available, which will be occupied by teams that perform well in the regional qualifiers.
Two slots each have been designated for both Western Europe and Southeast Asia, while China, Eastern Europe, North America, and South America each have one slot. Below is the complete list of qualified teams for TI14:
