With an exciting group stage week behind us, the sixteen teams participating in Valve's Dota 2 The International this year have claimed their upper and lower bracket slots for the week ahead.
With the wild card and group stage complete, the action will now move to teams having their tournament life on the line for real during main week of action, kicking off Monday August 8 at 10 AM PST and continuing all week leading to the grand finals on Saturday, August 13.
At the time of this writing, the prize pool is the biggest in esports history, a massive $19,822,120. With community funding that offers players access to special cosmetics, the annual tournament's purse is primarily fueled by player contributions to the massive prize pool.
Check out all the teams and get up to date information on each game, including multiple ways to watch (even VR watching this year!) at the official The International site.

The International is a real joy to watch each year, and as always I'm looking forward to crazy draft picks, amazing team plays, and a lot of great action.
