Valve has announced one of the worst kept secrets: Defense of the Ancients 2 will be at Gamescom. What is the surprise is that Valve will also be running a DotA2 tournament at the German-based games conference.
The tournament will be called “The International,” which will run from August 17 through August 21, with the 16 best DOTA teams in the world competing. The tournament will have a double elimination playoff format, with the winning team winning $1 million.
More infomation about the tournament is on the official site here, including how to watch the live steam.
Defense of the Ancients 2 will be released on PC and Mac later this year.
