TI 11 Main Event team list

The International 2022 (TI11) is the biggest Dota 2 tournament this year, with a prize pool of $16,784,334. It is much lower than the previous TI, which has had two years of prize pool accumulation due to the Pandemic.

This year Valve has adopted a different approach for TI11 with the battle pass spanning through two parts. The first part of the battle pass takes place before TI11 while the second part, along with multiple features of the battle pass releases after TI11.

Group Stage Recap

The group stage for TI11 was possibly the most tightly contested in the history of The International championships, with most teams having chances until the very last matches.

Evil Geniuses and Tundra Esports took the top spots in Group A and Group B respectively. These two are the teams to beat, but attention will also be on the favorites PSG.LGD, who started out slow but picked up the pace.

Over the course of four days, 183 games were played (considering one game was forfeited due to medical issues, and four tiebreaker games were played). A total of 114 of the 123 heroes were picked in the group stages, leaving only 9 heroes unpicked.
