It’s difficult to describe The International to someone who doesn’t follow esports.
The simplest comparison is to the Super Bowl, but the Super Bowl is only one game. At The International, it’s like you’re playing in the Super Bowl over and over. The competition never lets up and you have thousands watching your every move in a packed arena and millions more via streaming all around the globe.
