Dota 2: Post-TI11 Roster Shuffle Live Updates: Complete list of transfers and other details.

The International 2022 Wraps Up, Teams Prepare for the Next Season

Tundra Esports emerged victorious in the latest edition of Dota 2’s The International, solidifying their status as champions. However, even after the conclusion of the tournament, the influence of The International and the game itself continues. Teams from around the world are now analyzing the past year of Dota, developing strategies, and building new alliances in preparation for future battles.

The International serves as both the end and the beginning of each competitive Dota 2 season. It acts as a benchmark for players and teams to evaluate their success and determine whether any changes need to be made. If a team fails to qualify for The International, it is almost certain that roster changes will occur. Most organizations and players wait until after the tournament to make major changes, as many influential players are occupied with the event and could become available afterward.

However, roster changes have become more challenging in recent years due to the implementation of a stricter Dota Pro Circuit and regional leagues. Teams like Evil Geniuses and T1, who are expected to make significant changes after The International 2022, have a limited opportunity to construct a competitive roster for the upcoming Dota Pro Circuit season.
