The Dota Pro Circuit has concluded, and now it’s time for the culmination of the Dota 2 season: The International 8, taking place late August in Vancouver. Eight teams have already qualified, and now, it’s time for the rest of the event’s seats to be filled.

Valve has officially shared the qualifier format and slots for this year’s mega-tournament, with six regions each receiving at least one spot at the event. Anyone can give the dream a shot in their region’s Open Qualifiers, but they must fight through the best of the best in the Main Qualifiers.

As usual, players must have the Battle Pass to purchase this treasure. Also, the guaranteed sets are not marketable/tradable but are still able to be giftfed.

"Available exclusively to Battle Pass owners for $1.99, and brimming with 14 subterranean-themed item sets—and three rare sets—the Collector’s Cache is ready to unearth a rich seam of heroes suitably styled for this year’s event. Unboxing fourteen of these treasures automatically grants you 27 Battle Levels. As always, the chances for a rare drop increase with each treasure you open, and each purchase contributes directly to The International prize pool."
