The International 2024 is coming up fast and Dota 2 fans from around the world are eagerly waiting to see their favorite teams in action on the grand stage. We’ve got you covered here with all the build up before the action unfolds in September.

The International, more commonly known as TI, is the annual tournament organized by Valve to conclude the yearly season of competitive Dota 2.

The thirteenth iteration of the tournament will bring together 16 of the best teams from across the globe that have either secured a direct invite to the event or made it through the regional qualifiers.

Last year’s championship at Seattle saw Team Spirit dominate the competition, ending Gaimin Gladiators’ unbeaten run at Valve events.

TI13 Format and schedule

The International 13 will be played out between September 4 to September 15, 2024. The event will kick off with the group stage on September 4-5, followed by the playoffs from September 6-10.

After a two-day break, the action will resume on September 13 for the finals weekend before crowning the new champion on September 15.

As for the group stage, teams have been segregated into four groups of four teams each with every team playing best-of-two series against others in their group. Following this, the top two teams from each group will face off against the 3rd or 4th placed teams from their opposite groups (A against B and C against D) to determine seedings for the playoffs.

The International 2024 prize pool and compendium

The initial prize pool on offer for TI13 is the same as it has been for every iteration since the first TI held at Gamescom in 2011, $1.6 million. However, Valve has released a Compendium to further boost the prize pool with crowdfunding.

25 percent of all sales made from the compendium will be added to The International’s prize pool. Similar to this year, last year’s compendium was also released two weeks before the event and the base prize pool was raised to a final of $3.14 million. It will be interesting to see what the final prize pool will be for TI13.

We will update this page with all the developments leading up to The International 2024 Dota 2 championship.
