The 2021 Worlds announced the five cities that are playing host to the championship across China. These cities include Shanghai, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Shenzhen. The competition culminates in the grand finals on November at the Universiade Sports Centre in Shenzhen, China, capable of seating 60,000 people. This marks the third time the Worlds is held in China, including in 2020 and 2017. The tournament, previous to COVID-19 concerns and restrictions, was expected to head to North America, which has been pushed to 2022 for the resumption of normal fan experience and a reduction of COVID-19 restrictions.

The International, often abbreviated as TI, is an annual tournament organized by Valve. In 2015 Valve increased their number of hosted events, founding the Dota Major Championships which incorporates The International into its structure. The International remains the biggest and most prestigious event on the Dota Pro Circuit.

The International 2022 was held in Singapore.

Currently The International has been held in North America, Western Europe and China.
