Last year Valve preemptively solved the problem of post-TI blues with the Grimstroke release.

Who had the best performances at TI9? We crunched the numbers for you so you can just sit back and marvel at the best performances at TI9.

So many traditions have been broken in The International 2019. There was no Chinese team in the Grand Finals, for the first time since The International 2013. We have our two time Champion and we had a team making it all the way to the Grand Finals through the lower bracket.

The International 2019 is nearing its end and three teams survive to fight on the last day. A new hero is announced and the curse of the favorites continue.

Every single hero in the game was contested during the International 2019 and there are still two days until we crown our champion. Only five teams remain and by the end of tomorrow we will know our top three.

Infamous force their way into the top eight, OG time lapses back a year and plays the same bracket, and Team Secret survive in day three of The International 2019.

Two more teams have been eliminated and two more teams now find themselves in the lower bracket. Second day of the tournament was filled with intense games and heartbreaking losses, but most importantly, it set up the stage for an OG vs. EG Rematch.
