The world's best Dota teams will once again compete for the Aegis of Champions, this time in Climate Pledge Arena, welcoming the largest audience in the event's history. This year, the group stage kicks off on Saturday, October 14th, with the playoffs to follow. Both of these events will run under one banner, The Road to the International, which we'll be talking more about in the coming weeks. The International itself will commence on Friday, October 27th and run through Sunday, October 29th. We'll be announcing ticketing information and more details on The Road to the International as we get closer to the event.
