After two weeks of furious competition from the best teams in the world, Team Spirit have outlasted all challengers to claim the title of Arlington Major Champions — securing a Grand Finals victory in a thrilling rematch with a powerful rival. Congratulations to Yatoro, TORONTOTOKYO, Collapse, Mira, and Miposhka!

In a turn of events reminiscent of The International in Bucharest, Team Spirit's road to victory offered no choice but to defeat a legendary foe. PSG.LGD were dominant throughout the tournament and looked unbeatable in both the Group Stage and the Playoffs. They even defeated Team Spirit 2-0 in the Upper Bracket Finals, sending the squad into the Lower Bracket where a very strong Team Aster were waiting. Team Spirit fought hard to bounce back and earned the right for a fitting rematch with PSG.LGD in the Grand Finals. After an exciting series — including a nail-biting 75-minute Game 2 — Team Spirit closed out the tournament with a convincing 3-1 victory to the delight of their fans worldwide.

The International Awaits

With the final Major of the season concluded, the first 12 teams to officially qualify to The International have been decided:

• PSG.LGD
  
• OG
  
• Team Spirit
  
• beastcoast
  
• Team Aster
  
• Thunder Awaken
  
• BOOM Esports
  
• TSM
  
• Tundra Esports
  
• Gaimin Gladiators
  
• Evil Geniuses
  
• Fnatic
  

We look forward to seeing all of these worthy competitors in Singapore this October vying for the Aegis of Champions.

There are still spots up for grabs at The International, and the next opportunity in that journey arrives in the Regional Qualifiers. These qualifiers will run September 3 - 18, and the winners from each of the six regions will secure themselves invites to The International.

The second and third place teams in each Regional Qualifier will have one last shot to earn the ultimate invite — with the Last Chance Qualifier tournament, running October 8 - 12. The top two teams from that tournament will round out the final field of teams invited to The International.

Gameplay Patch 7.32

As mentioned previously, Gameplay Patch 7.32 will arrive sometime before The International Regional Qualifiers.

As the Arlington Major approaches its conclusion, more and more teams have now officially qualified to The International in Singapore this October. See them live and in person as they compete for the Aegis of Champions by purchasing tickets this Saturday.

Tickets will be sold in a single wave starting at 10am SGT (2am GMT) on August 13th, with a limit of 5 tickets per customer for each date. Purchasers residing within Singapore will have the option for courier delivery or will-call pickup. All others must pick up their tickets at will-call only.

The event itself has been split into two separate sections: The Playoffs (October 20 - 23) and the Finals Weekend (October 29-30). The Playoffs will feature the top sixteen teams in Dota 2 as they battle for a spot in the Finals. This part of the competition will be held at the Suntec Convention Center in Singapore, and tickets will be sold for the four days separately for a price of $88 SGD each.

The Finals Weekend will be the culmination of the event, where the four remaining teams compete to prove themselves worthy of claiming the Aegis of Champions. The Finals Weekend will be held at Singapore Indoor Stadium, and tickets will be available for $498 SGD—a single ticket allows entrance for both days.

Tickets will be sold by Ticketmaster at https://ticketmaster.sg/activity/detail/22_intldota2sg. We recommend setting up an account ahead of time so that there are no delays when sales start.

Gameplay Patch 7.32
Patch 7.32 will arrive before The International Regional Qualifiers, which take place September 3 - 18.

- Adjusted matchmaking to be faster for lower population game modes.
- Fixed a bug with matchmaking region selection where the UI would incorrectly prevent you from selecting both low ping and higher ping regions together.
- The Kinetic Gem "Wraith Spin" will now apply correctly when Wraith King's Arcana is equipped.
- Added a sound effect when allies share an item with your hero.

- Fixed a bug that caused Razor's Static Link to only be applied to the secondary target when cast on two heroes affected by Grimstroke's Soul Bind.

We think Dota is best played as a group with friends. To encourage this style of play we're introducing a few experimental changes with the patch today to improve overall match quality for these kinds of games:
- Full parties are now permitted to match against any valid opposing team, and are no longer required to match against a full party in ranked.
- Adjusted matchmaking tuning to make finding a game as a full party faster.
- Full parties may now all chat "gg" to surrender a match after 30 minutes of game time with the same 10 second countdown and cancel UI as in pro games. This is scored as a loss.

- Activated the Jungle Colosseum weekend spotlight mode.
