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] TI 2024 returned to its early format, with direct invites based on team rankings from global tournaments following the cancellation of the Dota Pro Circuit.
This was the first edition of the tournament that has 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 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]
