The seventh annual International Dota 2 Championship is now underway. The International 7 has brought together 16 of the world's best Dota 2 teams from all around the world (travel ban permitting) to compete for a shot at the record-breaking $23 million prize pool.

You have tons of avenues to watch The International 7 including live via the desktop client, on television, through your web browser, directly through Twitch, on YouTube, at your local pubs, and even in VR. At pubs? Yes, truly we are living in the future.

Not familiar with Dota 2 or a lot of the terminology used by the usual presenters? Fret not, because the Newcomer Stream returns this year. It's a great way to learn about the game and the tournament.

The International 7 will be running strong from today through to the big ol' finale on August 12.

As of this writing, it is currently game 2 (of 3) between Team Liquid and Invictus Gaming for the UB Quarter Finals.
