Following Valve's tradition of hosting The International in different regions each year, The International 2025 (TI15) will be held in Germany. This marks the fifth European appearance for Dota 2's premier tournament, previously held in Sweden, Romania, and twice in Denmark.

The event follows the successful conclusion of The International 2024 in Seattle, continuing Valve's strategy of geographic rotation to engage with Dota 2's global fanbase.

While the specific German city and venue remain unannounced, the tournament is expected to maintain its traditional August-October timeframe. This scheduling allows for optimal weather conditions and avoids conflicts with other major esports events.

Germany's selection makes strategic sense given its robust esports infrastructure, central European location, and strong Dota 2 community. The country has previously hosted several major esports events, including ESL One tournaments, demonstrating its capability to manage large-scale competitive gaming events.

Fans can expect ticket information and specific venue details to be announced by Valve in early 2025, following their usual communication timeline for The International events.

This announcement has generated significant excitement within the Dota 2 community, particularly among European fans who will have easier access to the tournament. The German venue is expected to provide excellent accessibility for attendees from across Europe and maintain the high production standards The International is known for.
