The International 2018 tournament has been one of the most anticipated events of every Dota2 player and fans. Many months and days after the official qualifiers made their entry to the main bracket joining the invited ones. Now is the time that we will be seeing some clashing actions from skilled Dota2 professional players. As a fan of Dota2, I just can't stop watching some good plays during my free time even those previous Dota2 tournaments.

Aside from that, they have officially announced their groupings of teams in the tournament, which I think is well-balanced. There might be a series of evaluations and some analysis before they came up with the final groupings.

SirActionSlacks also released some videos each of the teams, describing their player's characteristics and ability as a competitive player in upcoming the International. This video really helped Dota2 fans fully know each player's capability on their roles and how they excel in it.

You may click each video with the team's name to redirect to YouTube, it is a must watch if you consider yourself a Dota2 fan and player. Thanks to SirActionSlacks for creating such an amazing video.

The current prize pool of the tournament is now at $24,340,752 which is a really huge amount to be divided among the winning participants depending on their ranking in the tournament. This will be a challenge for each of the team to give their best to win in this prestigious tournament to be recognized as the best Dota2 team. 

This will test teamwork and coordination as well as strategy and tactics to overcome their counterpart. A competition which is really hard to predict who will win and who will have the upper hand. Following teams are the best of the best in Dota2 and that each of their gameplay is really unpredictable on how they will work on their strategy and tactics.

Live streams of each of the games will be supported by Twitch to see the actual happenings in the game and that you will not be left behind with the latest updates. I can feel the excitement of the game especially to my favorite teams that I can't afford to miss any of their matches. 

What team is your best bet to win The International 2018? Would like to know your bet and I would happily give 5 SCR to each of the winners who will able to guess it right until the end of the tournament. No more than one entry for each member. I would limit to 14 winners just in case there are more than 15 winners. If winners are lesser than 7, I will be giving 10 SCR each instead.
