DotA 2 International 2012

IceFrog has confirmed that there will be another international event like the one that ended just a few days ago with Na`Vi taking the first place prize of $1,000,000. He has also confirmed that the prize pool for the 2012 event will "At least be as good as the current prize pool"

It seems as though valve are fully behind supporting the game as far as tournaments and prize pools go and it seems as though they plan to make the international an annual event.
