Last updated: September 16 (final results)
The legendary Aegis of Champions is up for grabs again as DOTA 2's most prestigious tournament, The International, returns for its 13th edition to round out the yearly competitive season. The highlight of the DOTA 2 esports calendar, TI13, officially kicks off on September 4 and culminates on September 15 for the Grand Final.
The International, aka TI13, brings 16 of the world's best DOTA 2 teams to Copenhagen, Denmark, competing for a slice of the $2.3 million prize pool. TI is known for its unpredictability, with a new winner crowned almost every year. The International in 2023 was won by Team Spirit, who ended Gaimin Gladiators' near-perfect season.
Here's everything you need to know about TI13, including the format, schedule, and current standings.
Unlike TI12, The International's 13th annual iteration is split into three main phases. The Group Stage and following Seeding Deciders will determine the order in which the top 16 teams will play out the "Main Event."
The Road to The International consists of the first two phases and the opening matches of the Playoffs. The International itself consists of the top eight in the Playoffs.
Read below for the full format breakdown for The International 2024:
Group Stage (September 4 - 5)
Seeding Decider (September 6 - 7)
Main Event (Playoffs: September 8 - 10. Finals Weekend: September 14 - 15)
Six teams directly qualified for The International, while the other ten teams earned their slots through open qualifiers and regional qualifiers across all the major DOTA 2 regions. Based on their recent performance, we've compiled our top three favorite teams to watch during the tournament.
Here are all 16 participants competing in The International 2024 and how they qualified. We have also included their confirmed player rosters.
The following teams received direct invites from Valve with enough ranking points throughout the competitive year to automatically qualify for The International as befitting for their dominant performances.
These teams earned slots through regional qualifiers held in each major DOTA 2 region. Western Europe, Southeast Asia, China, and South America all gained two representative teams. Eastern Europe and North America have one team each.

Like other top-tier DOTA tournaments, The International is historically known for its vast prize pool, as it's typically one of the largest in the esports scene. However, as of 2023, Valve has decided to make a landmark decision to cut back on crowdfunding The International's prize pool through the player-bought battle pass, the Compendium. A quarter of the player's purchase goes directly to funding The International, with Valve throwing in $1.6 million to bulk up the final cash prize.
The prize pool for TI13 is currently around $2.3 million, with the lion's share going to the tournament winner. This is a record low for this prestigious tournament, with many long-time DOTA 2 fans expressing their discontent about the direction DOTA 2 esports is headed. Regardless, it will be interesting to see the final jackpot for The International 2024!
