The first stage of The International 7 is certainly not the least important. The round-robin Group Stages, taking place Wednesday, August 2nd through Saturday the 5th, will determine the climb each team needs to make in the path to the Aegis of Champions. As sixteen teams continue into the main event, unfortunately, two other teams will be the first departures of the event.
