Valve has introduced a variety of changes to this year's The International, with the biggest being the absence of a TI Battle Pass and the crowd-funded mammoth pool it contributed to. Instead, the developer has promised to steer the content in a different direction, and the community is eager to see what they have in store.

The International 2023 (TI12) will be held in Seattle (Seattle Convention Center's Summit and Climate Pledge Arena) from October 12, 2023, and run until October 29, 2023.

As they wait for The International 2023 (TI12) to begin, fans will also be able to catch their favorite teams in BetBoom Dacha 2023 and DreamLeague Season 21, slated to take place later this month.
