The phase three has just come to a conclusion and we finally have the 8 teams that will duke it out for the lion’s share of the prize pool in the Main Event of The International 2014. Join us as we take a look at the schedule for the upcoming days of top tier Dota 2.


It’s been a one hell of a ride through the group stages with upsets and surprises all around. It’s no great surprise however, to see the Chinese taking five spots out of the eight in the final grid, as they have time and time again showed the Western teams that they truly deserve their spots in the finals. Only three teams remain to try to throw a wrench in the works of the Chinese dominance, but will they succeed in taking down best of the East? Tune in Friday to find out, as we continue to provide you with coverage of the International 2014.
