Dota 2′s official blog has released the next wave of invited teams for The International 3, which will be held this coming August 2013.
Another five invites were given out:
-
Dignitas is arguably the most consistent American team this year, and they will aim to defend their home turf against the visiting teams.
-
Zenith finished a joint 5th/6th on last year’s The International, and has had an excellent run on the G-1 Qualifiers despite playing with a stand-in. -
Virtus.Pro will be representing the massive Russian community. Despite playing inconsistently as of late, they shown that they still got it by defeating Liquid and almost beating Alliance.
-
DK is still one of the better Chinese teams, as they proved via qualifying into the LAN finals of the G-1 Champions League.
-
Na’Vi is disappointing for many, performing sub-par and even having a roster change. However, they are still the runner-up of the tournament and the first ever champion so their invite isn’t really a surprise.
