Valve has yet to reveal the full details on this new format, but it seems very similar to that followed by last year's tournament. TI 2023 will also have a revamped format featuring two main stages: a preliminary stage called 'The Road to the International' followed by the tournament's main event. Since the last time TI was held in Seattle, the tournament has been held in Vancouver, Canada Shanghai, China Bucharest, Romania and Singapore. From 2012 to 2017, TI was held in Key Arena near Valve's headquarters in Bellevue. This year's TI will see the tournament's return to Seattle after six years. TI 2023 will be held in Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena from 14 to 29 October and features a revamped format similar to last year's tournament, which was held in Singapore. Their regional rivals, Team Liquid, also finished second in both tournaments. Western Europe's Gaimin Gladiators notably won the first two Majors of this season in Lima and Berlin. Western Europe getting an additional slot through the regional qualifier is no big surprise, as the region has dominated the 2023 DPC season. The qualifiers for North America and China will kick things off from 17 to 21 August, South America and Eastern Europe will follow from 22 to 26 August, while Western Europe and Southeast Asia will close things out from 27 to 31 August. The TI 2023 regional qualifiers will be held in the second half of August, with the competition being split into three five-day phases where two regions will compete in each phase. This also quietly confirms that there will be no Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) for TI 2023, unlike last year's tournament, as the two slots that would have gone to the winning LCQ teams have now been handed over to Western Europe and South America. In all previous iterations of the tournament, only one team from each of the six regions in the DPC were able to advance through the regional qualifiers. This marks the first time that eight teams will earn their spot in TI through the regional qualifiers. The remaining eight slots will be filled through the regional qualifiers.
