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.

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.
