　　Valve has announced dates for its annual Dota 2 tournament, The International, which is now in its fifth year.

　　The 2015 competition will begin on Monday, August 3, with the event extended to a full six days and featuring 16 teams vying for the championship. Invitations to teams will be sent out from May 1.

　　No further details have been revealed for the tournament, aside from confirmation that it will again take place in Seattle. Last year's tournament proved to be a huge draw, with ESPN broadcasting the event, and more than $10 million in prize money up for grabs.

　　That prize pool, the most-ever for an eSports tournament, was accumulated as a direct result of fans purchasing the Compendium (which earns buyers in-game items and contributed money to the prize pool).

　　Last year the team Newbee took home more than $5 million after winning the final in a best-of-five competition Vici Gaming.
