Will The International 3 be back in Seattle? 2GD and SirScoots sure indicated so. How true is it though?
The International 2 was one hell of a tournament leaving viewers wanting more. Many have been speculating where the next tournament will be and considering The International 1 was in Europe and The International 2 was in North America, many assumed the next to be somewhere in Asia.
Unfortunately for the Asian fans, James '2GD' Harding and Scott 'SirScoots' Smith mentioned in Live On Three that the million dollar tournament will be going back to Seattle next year.
"What I've heard is they will be doing it at least three more times (The International) and next year at least they will be doing it in the same spot", said Smith.
You can listen to the conversation at 27:50 of the following video.
Why Seattle? Seattle is not only the home for PAX Prime but it is also where Valve's headquarters are located. Hosting one of their biggest annual event close to home is generally a good idea.
However, nothing can really be confirmed until Valve drops the bottomline. We can just wait and see.
