FACEIT presents Dota2: The International 2019 Open Qualifiers
FACEIT is proud to announce that for the fifth year in a row it will be hosting the Open Qualifiers for The International!
Last year marked one of the most impressive The Internationals since its inception. Team OG, the champions of the 2018 International have made it all the way through the Open Qualifiers hosted on FACEIT onto lifting the Aegis and becoming the first team to ever go through all the stages of the competition before winning it.
The road to Dota2’s The International 2019 (TI) kicks off with the Open Qualifiers starting on the 3rd of July, which will run through July 6th. The Open Qualifiers will be available to players from Europe, CIS, South East Asia, North America, and South America.
Players can join up in teams of five (5) or sign up as solo — solo players will be matched with four (4) other solo players upon the start of the first Qualifier to form a team.
The Dota2 Teamfinder, available on the platform, will also help players to connect with each other. The tool allows players to seek potential teammates to join a team or post their own application.
