South African gamers are getting ready for The International, a Dota 2 tournament that puts the best of the best players from around the planet head-to-head for an all-out battle for supremacy.
Three South African teams are set to participate in the event – namely Bravado Gaming, X51 and Icon Gaming.
The three teams have entered the qualifier, which kicks off on 26 November 2012.
Qualifier teams are all playing for a place to play against the big guns of the DotA 2 scene, who are on the International invitational roster.
