The International 2024 (also known as TI 13 and TI 2024), was the 13th edition of The International, the annual Dota 2 world championship esports tournament hosted by Valve, the game's developer. The tournament was held at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1] Sixteen teams competed in the tournament to win the Aegis of Champions.[2]
This was the first edition of the tournament that has returned to the format it had in the early years, in which direct invites are given out to the teams following their rankings throughout separate tournaments being held globally, following the abolition of the Dota Pro Circuit after the 2023 edition of The International had concluded.[3] The event was won by The International 2017 champions Team Liquid, who defeated the previous years' finalist Gaimin Gladiators 3–0 in the final.[4][5]
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.[6]
