The International 2015 was the fifth edition of The International, an electronic sports ''Dota 2'' championship tournament, which took place at the KeyArena Center in Seattle, Washington. Hosted by Valve Corporation, the tournament began on May 25 with the qualifier phase and ended after the main event between August 3 and August 8. The tournament awarded the biggest prize pool in eSports history, at over $18 million, with the winning team, Evil Geniuses, being awarded over $6 million. ==History== Valve announced The International 2015 in January 2015, again taking place at the KeyArena Center in Seattle, Washington. Tickets went on sale in March, selling out in around 5 minutes. An interactive compendium was again announced, being released in May 2015, with purchases of the compendium going towards the tournament's prize pool. By June, the prize pool had passed the previous year's total of $11 million, overtaking it as the largest eSports prize pool in history, and with 60 days of funding remaining. Valve anticipated that the total would exceed $15 million by the time of the tournament, a target which was reached in July. Purchasers who reach a high enough level with their compendium were sent a replica International trophy. The tournament's games began on July 26, with the wild card matches, followed by four days of a round robin format group stage being played as best of two matches. The main brackets then began on August 3.〔 During the second day of the tournament a distributed denial of service attack was reported to have occurred, blamed for around three hours of delays in games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The International 2015」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
