Miscellaneous

• Dota 2 Prize Pool Tracker - The International 2015

Trivia

• This was the first International that did not invite all previous winners. Natus Vincere (winners of 2011) and Alliance (winners of 2013) were sent to qualifiers instead. Alliance ended up being eliminated in the European qualifiers. Na'Vi, on the other hand, fought their way through to the main event, but were eliminated early on by losing against Vici Gaming in the Lower Bracket Round 1.
• Zyzz, of compLexity Gaming, is the first Latin American player to ever play in the International.
• CDEC Gaming became the highest finishing team to qualify through the wildcard stage in the history of The International by finishing second in the tournament.
