The International 2023 is the concluding tournament of the current season of Dota Pro Circuit and the twelfth annual edition of The International which will take place at Seattle, Washington. The invite format is similar to the one used for the preceding International, whereby a point system based on official sponsored Regional Leagues and Majors will be used to determine the teams invited to The International. Unlike previous years, The International for this year is split into two distinct phases; the group stage and playoffs (until top 8) are announced as under the phase The Road to The International, while the playoffs for the remaining 8 teams are announced as The International itself.
