Hosted by Valve Corporation, the tournament began on May 25 with the qualifier phase and ended after the main event between August 3 and August 8.

History
Valve announced The International 2015 in January 2015, again taking place at the KeyArena Center in Seattle, Washington.[3] Tickets went on sale in March, selling out in around 5 minutes.[4][5]
An interactive compendium was again announced, being released in May 2015, with purchases of the compendium going towards the tournament's prize pool.[6] By June, the prize pool had passed the previous year's total of $11 million, overtaking it as the largest eSports prize pool in history, and with 60 days of funding remaining.[7] Valve anticipated that the total would exceed $15 million by the time of the tournament,[8] a target which was reached in July.[9] Purchasers who reach a high enough level with their compendium were sent a miniature replica International trophy.[10]
The tournament's games began on July 26, with the wild card matches, followed by four days of a round robin format group stage being played as best of two matches. The main brackets then began on August 3.[2]
During the second day of the tournament, a DDOS attack was reported to have occurred, affecting around three hours of games.[11]
Teams
Ten professional teams were directly invited to the event, with four regional winners and two 'wild card' winners also invited.[12] The 'wild card' winners were decided during the main competition in Seattle from CDEC Gaming, Team Archon, MVP Phoenix and Vega Squadron.[2]
