The International 2025
From Liquipedia Dota 2 Wiki
- The tournament organizers have added/changed/modified some rules mid-tournament and have also not made any public announcements or comments about these changes, so any information on the page can be wrong despite having a publicly available source. For example, on 6th of September teams were notified about a previously non-existent rule that they would not play more than two series per day,[1] which directly affected pairings of two "Elimination Round" matchups.[2]

The International 2025 (also commonly called TI 2025 or TI 14) is the fourteenth annual edition of The International which will take place in Hamburg, Germany.
Similar to previous year, The International 2025 was split into two distinct phases: The group stage and the elimination round were branded as part of The Road to The International, while the playoffs were branded as The International itself.
