Valve is rather methodical about revealing their esports events, fans frequently have to wait until the completion of the Dota Pro Circuit to hear more about The International. But even in the absence of any official information on The International 2023 from Valve, a new source appears to have leaked the approximate location and date.

The International 2023 for Dota 2 may be coming to Seattle, so start the hype machine and stir the flames! John Patrick Lowrie, a voice actor of Earthshaker, appeared to have disclosed the location of this year's TI in a tweet, which has lately been deleted.

Did TI12 just get leaked?

It's possible that Lowrie is using outdated information or is just expecting that TI would return to the spot where it spent the six years between 2012 and 2017 even though this case of information leakage seems to be a sure bet. In a break from tradition, Valve embarked on TI's tour in 2018, taking it to Vancouver, Shanghai, Bucharest, and lastly Singapore. On the tenth anniversary of the game's release from beta, a trip back to Seattle would be an appropriate tribute to a title that is significant to several of us.

This information has previously been reported, with insiders hinting at a possible return to Seattle shortly after TI11 concluded in October last year. However, it seems as though those disclosures now carry more weight because the voice of TI publicly shared the information and pulled the tweet.

The only thing left to do is wait for Valve to make the formal announcement and perhaps even reveal information regarding the Dota 2 Battle Pass for 2023. Whatever the case, we have excellent things coming our way, which remains another motive for enthusiasm. But hold off on making your flight reservations. This can only be regarded as an unsubstantiated leak because things can change and nothing is definitive. Keep posted with LetsGameNow for further updates on mind-boggling content.
