Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of @OGesports this weekend! #GWBPSpic.twitter.com/qhMYCJvuEe
OG is, of course, a favourite for many fans, but judging by recent results Virtus.Pro and Team Secret could easily win the tournament.
Prize pool
The teams won't actually win anything in the Dota 2 Gamers Without Borders tournament. Instead, they will be able to choose which COVID-19 relief charity their winnings go to.
This week, the winner of the @DOTA2 International Elite tournament will earn US$750,000 to donate to the charity of their choice to support COVID-19 relief efforts worldwide! ðŸŒ

Format
The Dota 2 Gamers Without Borders tournament won't feature a group stage. Instead, the tournament will start with the Quarter Finals, since it only runs for two days.
This means there won't be as many matches as Dota 2 fans are used to. The tournament will take place with a single-elimination format, with all matches, including the grand final, being best-of-three.
Having players like @eradota and @nipgaming joining us is exactly what makes the International Elite tournaments so special!
