More commentator duos are likely to be unveiled as the tournament progresses.
In the BTS Pro Series Season 7: SEA, all eight teams will compete for a share of the $50,000 USD prize pool. The prize pool distribution is not available at the time of writing this article.
This will be the first time in a while that T1 and Fnatic, the two representatives from SEA at The International 10 (TI10), will take part in a professional Dota 2 event. Fnatic played its last official series on 3rd July in TI10's SEA qualifier while T1 last competed at ESL One Summer 2021 in June 2021.
SEA Dota 2 fans will be keeping an eye on whether these two TI10 teams can continue to perform as well as they have done in recent events, or whether the other teams will step up and knock them down.
