With DPC 2021 drawn to a close at the end of the WePlay Dota 2 AniMajor, all eyes are now set on Dota 2’s biggest tournament – The International. TI10 is finally set to return for its tenth iteration this August, and Valve is hyping things up with activities for its fans.

In a tweet from the official Dota 2 account, Valve has announced that the TI10 Regional Qualifiers will commence with a corresponding in-game prediction event.

Players can simply go to the “Watch” tab of the Dota 2 client and predict the results for each of the six regions. Each correct prediction nets 1,000 Dota Plus Shards. Players can lock in their predictions before June 23, 2021. The first day of TI10 Regional Qualifiers starts on that date. TI10 Regional Qualifiers will run across all regions until July 10, 2021.

The TI10 Regional Qualifiers will have all of the teams who competed in the DPC 2021 Regional Leagues that have not yet qualified for The International. One team each from all of the six regions will join the twelve teams already qualified for The International.

The TI10 Regional Qualifiers are as follows:

  • Eastern Europe (CIS): June 23-26, 2021
  • South America: June 23-26, 2021
  • North America: June 30 – July 3, 2021
  • Southeast Asia: June 30 – July 3, 2021
  • China: July 7-10, 2021
  • Western Europe (EU): July 7-10, 2021

Dota 2‘s TI10 Main Event will be running from August 5 to 15, 2021, at the Avicii Arena, Stockholm, Sweden.
