Introducing the teams of the Dota 2 International 2013
Comment
The International is the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the world. With Valve slapping down over one million dollars in prize money, the best teams from the around world flock to Seattle to claim their share.
A lot has happened since the last International. No Tidehunter (now known as Alliance) stomped at Dreamhack Winter. One of the most famous teams in the world, Na’Vi, has had multiple team alterations to try and reverse their declining performance. It would be rude not to mention Invictus Gaming, The International 2012 champions who put China on the Dota 2 map. They’ve been training hard since that day, and are ready to do it all over again.
Here are the teams of The International 2013.
A Riot tribunal has ruled that Team Dignitas’ IWillDominate will be permanently banned from League of Legends. The developer noted that IWillDominate - real name Christian Rivera - had a “persistent record of in-game harassment, verbal abuse, offensive language and negative attitude" that placed him within the 0.7% worst players in North America and made him the most toxic pro player in the country.
It's not often our hobby makes the news for anything other than "Game makes man do bad thing", "Games made my child into an evil", "Games burned down local library", so it's promising to see Sky - Sky of all outlets - to cover Dignitas competing in the ESWC.
Overnight, prominent members of the eSports community accused Riot games of pushing to make teams pick between League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth and Dota 2. 
The top two teams in MLG’s League of Legends Summer Championship, Curse NA and Team Dignitas, have been disqualified for collusion after the event’s final.
