Your guide on getting into watching Dota 2 this year.
Get into the spirit of TI in 2025!
The International is Dota 2's biggest event of the year. It's the culmination of efforts, tears, multitudes of clicks, and all the other storylines of the strongest teams this year.
Known simply as TI, this year eight teams emerged from the preliminary stage, Road to TI, to battle for the Aegis in 2025. Here's your guide and links needed to watch TI this year and get into the spirit of Dota 2.
SteelSeries will be present at the event and keep an eye on the Cosplay Finals, which will be presented before the Grand Finals game on Sunday, September 14th.

How to watch Dota 2 The International 14
One way to watch it is through the official Twitch channel, though broadcasts are also available in other languages. Twitch will be the best in terms of not having any delay and probably the most meme-focused chatters. Twitch usually has a great extension too, where you can mouse over abilities and items to get reminders on what all these Aghanim's Scepters effects do.
If that's not for you though, you can also watch it on the YouTube Dota 2 channel, which has useful pausing and rewinding, so you can always review something you just missed.
The Twitch channel is also embedded in the client of the game, and you can use the Watch function to view the games live and control the camera yourself.
When is TI 14? What is the TI schedule?
