Dota 2: The International 2022 will be held in Singapore

In the world of esports, some competitions are more iconic than others. Among the three most important of the yearwe find the worlds from League of Legends, the Majors on CS:GO but also The International on Dota 2. The latter is also the one that offers the most important cash prizes in the history of esports.

While we were waiting for an announcement from Valve as to the location of the 2022 edition, the publisher formalized the information this Sunday. If the information is only a half-surprise since hints were posted on Twitter, The International 11 will take place in Singapore. After an edition in Bucharest in 2021, thehe major Dota 2 competition returns to Asia next October. As for the cashprize, after the historic 40M dollars of 2021, it could continue to increase as it has done since 2013.

The title holder, TeamSpirit probably hopes to win the competition a second time in a row but competition will be fierce this year. Moreover, the war in Ukraine is likely to have an impact on this competition with Russian players who might not get visas. Indeed, some Russians have already not obtained a visa for the recent Major of Stockholmwon by OG, yet disabled in two of its limbs. For more information on the official dates or the place of the competition, it will probably be necessary to wait a little longer.
