Valve has decided to make the first appearance of its upcoming Dota 2 (Defense of the Ancients 2) happen through a 5-day tournament.




The tournament called “The International” and it will take place August 17th -21st at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
The International features the 16 best Dota teams in the world competing in the Dota 2 Championships through a group stage, double elimination playoff format over the course of Cologne’s five-day trade show.
The tournament will be broadcast in four languages (Chinese, German, Russian, and English) free of charge. The winning team will receive $1 million.



In addition to the cash prizes awarded by Valve, NVidia is providing all the hardware for the event.
Dota 2 will be available for the PC and Mac later this year.

now this is serious gaming.

I can't wait. Gamescon is less than a week away!

Couldn't stand DotA due to the graphics and now HoN is filled with such a bad community. Hopefully DotA will change this (:
