Fans of the popular multiplayer online video game will be able to witness the best teams in the world duke it out in “The International” (TI), the culmination of all the efforts of the various DoTA 2 professional teams all year round, for a crack at glory and the almost $20 million pool prize.

DoTA 2, a very popular Massive Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game developed by Valve Corporation, enjoys a huge following among Filipinos especially since the country has been sending teams to the grandest DoTA 2 event.
