In light of the changes, Valve also announced a modification to the qualifiers for TI11:
- The TI Qualifiers will be played as originally planned, with the top team from each region qualifying to TI
- Second and third place from each region's qualifiers will then compete in a LAN event shortly afterward, prior to The International
- Out of those 12 teams, first and second place will qualify to The International 11.
As there are more teams qualifying for The International this season, The International 11 will feature 20 teams (two groups of 10) during group stage. Four teams will be eliminated, and Main event will carry on as it has in past Internationals.
