The International 2013, the third annual Dota 2 championship and the biggest tournament in eSports history will start just a few hours from now (four hours at the time of writing), as play-off teams Quantic and RSnake compete for the final coveted spot at the main event, which itself begins tomorrow.
The total prize pool for the tournament currently stands at $2.78 million but should hit $3.0 million before all is said and done thanks to community contributions, making it by far the most lucrative prize pool in all of eSports by a wide margin.
The competition can be watched live on Twitch.tv, or in Dota 2 itself. For more information head on over the the official International page, which contains a complete break down of the schedule, teams, prize pool, format and much more.
