The International 8, the 8th iteration of the biggest annual DotA 2 Competition is merely half a day away now, and just a day or two back, the groupings have been revealed.

Clearly, Group A is seen as the Group of Death at this International with powerhouses like Team Liquid, OG, Evil Geniuses, PSG.LGD and two SEA representatives battling it out.
In the second group for TI8, we have the third SEA representative in the form of TNC facing opponents like the undisputed DPC kings Virtus.Pro, Optic Gaming, Team Secret, Newbee and others.
For all that it’s worth, I hope that all SEA representatives make it out of the group alive (preferably Upper Bracket!) and then go on deep into this year’s International 8.
Group A:
Winstrike
Fnatic
PSG.LGD Gaming
Mineski
Evil Geniuses
VGJ.Thunder
Team Liquid
OG
Invictus Gaming
Group B:
ViCi Gaming
PaiN Gaming
Team Serenity
OpTic Gaming
Virtus Pro
TNC
VGJ.Storm
Team Secret
Newbee
What are your thoughts on the group stage for this year’s TI?
