Team Spirit and 9 Pandas will play at The International 12
After the fifth day of The Bali Major 2023 group stage not only the playoff participants have been determined, but also the teams that will play at The International 2023. Team Spirit, 9 Pandas and Talon Esports have guaranteed themselves direct invites to the main Dota 2 tournament of the year.
Azure Ray's victory over Bleed Esports allowed 9 Pandas and Team Spirit to qualify for The International 12. This is due to the fact that Bleed still had a chance to overtake these teams from Eastern Europe, while Azure Ray will have to fight for a place at TI12 in qualifiers.
The International 12 will take place from October 12 to 29 in Seattle. The tournament will feature 20 teams from around the world, 12 on DPC points and the remaining eight from regional qualifiers.
Current participants of The International 12 are as follows:
- Team Liquid
- Gaimin Gladiators
- Evil Geniuses
- Shopify Rebellion
- Tundra Esports
- Talon Esports
- 9 Pandas
- Team Spirit
As Cyberscore previously reported, Valve will change the Battle Pass concept for The International 12.
