The International 11 is on the verge of kicking off, and several Paris Saint-Germain football stars have wished PSG.LGD luck ahead of the Dota 2 championship.
Dota 2’s biggest annual championship, The International, is set to begin in Singapore on October 15 with 20 teams battling it out in the group stage. Needless to say, the popularity of TI has grown massively since its first iteration in 2011.
This rise in popularity has resulted in a huge fan base for the esport title across the planet. The popularity has reached such levels that globally renowned football stars like Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos have found themselves tied to the build-up for TI 11.

The runners-up at last year’s TI, PSG.LGD have been a constant presence in the top-four standings at championships since 2017. The team will be stepping into the tournament as one of the favorites, having secured the top spot in the annual Pro Circuit standings.
However, it remains to be seen whether PSG.LGD can finally end the DPC season on a successful note with the title of TI champions.
