The qualifying process for The International 2023 (TI12) has finally come to an end. Here are the 20 Dota 2 teams that have qualified for TI 2023.

The anticipation surrounding The International 2023 is rising as we get closer to the tournament. The 12th edition of the annual Dota 2 event will take place from October 12-29 in Seattle. This marks TI’s return to the North American city, the event’s home base between 2012 and 2017.

The International is by far the biggest event on the Dota 2 circuit, with the best teams from all over the world fighting for the Aegis of Champions and the lion’s share of the prize pool, which runs into the millions of dollars.

The International 2023 will feature 20 teams from across the globe, 12 of which are determined by the Dota Pro Circuit rankings. The other eight will come through regional qualifiers held in North America, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, China, and Southeast Asia.

Defending TI champions Tundra Esports, Gaimin Gladiators (who won all three Majors held in 2023), and Team Spirit (who won the $15 million Riyadh Masters) are among the eight teams invited to the event based on the Dota Pro Circuit ranking.

The qualifying process for TI 2023 came to an end on August 31 as Quest Esports secured the final spot at the event via the Western Europe qualifier, beating OG, Team Secret, and Luna Galaxy in the lower bracket. For the first time since The International 2016, OG, who won the Aegis of Champions in 2018 and 2019, will miss a TI tournament. And Team Secret’s Clement ‘Puppey’ Ivanov will miss TI for the first time in the event’s history.
