The International 2024 (also known as TI 13 and TI 2024), is the upcoming 13th edition of the The International, the annual Dota 2 world championship esports tournament hosted by Valve, the game's developer. The tournament is set to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in Royal Arena.[1] 16 teams will be competing in the tournament to become the world champions and take the Aegis of Champions.[2]

This will be the first edition of the tournament that it will return to the format it had in the early years, in which direct invites will be given out to the teams following their rankings throughout separate tournaments being held globally, following the abolishment of the Dota Pro Circuit after the 2023 edition of The International had concluded.[3]

Background

[edit]

Valve announced that Copenhagen would play host to the crowning event of the Dota 2 competitive season around September 2024, but they are yet to release further details about the format of the tournament, scheduling, and how rankings from tournaments across the world will affect rankings and secure direct invitations for the teams participating.[4]

Qualified teams

[edit]

The direct invites for the tournament were announced on May 27, with 6 teams earning their spots in the tournament based on the performances in the previous tournaments during the year.[5]
