All teams qualified for Dota 2’s The International 2025

The International 2025 will mark the return of the Dota 2 extravaganza to Germany for the first time since the inaugural version was held at GamesCom in 2011. However, the tournament has undergone several changes and modifications to its structure and format, including the process by which teams advance to the championship.
Since the removal of the Dota Pro Circuit, the majority of teams are given a direct invite based on their performance throughout the year leading up to TI. Additionally, there used to be regional qualifiers, allowing teams a last chance to qualify for the championship even if the remainder of their season had not been up to par. However, even that has been changed to ensure that all participating teams receive a direct invitation without any last-chance qualifiers.
