Before the closed qualifiers, the open qualifiers will run from May 31 to June 5, giving lesser-known squads a shot at TI glory. With multiple open slots feeding into each closed regional qualifier, it’s the ultimate test for aspiring teams looking to make their mark on the biggest stage in Dota 2.
With the direct invites locked and the qualifier gauntlet ahead, all eyes turn to June’s “Road to The International.” Teams from across the globe will battle for the remaining eight places in what promises to be one of the most competitive TI builds in recent memory.
