The International 2020: what about the Dota Pro Circuit rating?

Recently, information appeared on Liquipedia about how much time you need to have Dota Pro Circuit points in order to guarantee yourself access to The International 2020. According to some mathematical calculations, which are based on the number of points played in the remaining events, an amount of 3,950 was received DPC points. That is how much a team should have, which needs to pack their bags in Stockholm, where the anniversary tournament of the International series will take place.

Later, these data were removed from the site, but with a relatively small error, this number of points can be considered correct. By the way, on our Dota Pro Circuit 2019-2020 page, this figure has not disappeared .

According to interim results, TNC Predator , Vici Gaming , Team Secret and Evil Geniuses have already secured their tenure at The International. The closest to entering TI10 are Invictus Gaming , who suddenly delighted their fans at MDL Chengdu Major 2020 and DreamLeague Season 13. In the European division, Alliance and Team Liquid are worth noting, which earned 1840 and 1820 points, respectively. Almost all other teams have equal chances to enter The International to one degree or another - they should only perform well in any of the major events.

It is noteworthy that PSG.LGD , which took 2nd place in TI8, and placed on 3rd line in the standings on TI9, were unable to qualify for any Dota Pro Circuit championship, and at the same time did not earn any rating points.

Do not forget about the recent outbreak of coronavirus, which has significantly complicated the life of Chinese e-sports clubs. This means that in the tenth TI we are most likely to see a record low rate of representatives of the Chinese division. It is extremely difficult for the latter to get outside their country, and for those who are already outside of China, it is very difficult to obtain visas to other countries if they are not already open.

Speaking of The International 2020, one cannot help but recall the two-time champions of this tournament, OG . The Europeans were able to break into TI two times in a row, "hopping into the last carriage" and gain victory at the main event dedicated to Dota 2 . This time, everything can repeat again, and given the previously mentioned coronavirus, it is easy to guess that the team will encounter less serious competition on its way than in the two previous The International.
