Big news in the Dota 2 world – The International 2024 is on the horizon, and guess what? Copenhagen is where the action’s going down!
So, you know how Valve kinda took a backseat in the 2024 Dota 2 scene, letting other tournament organizers run the show? Yeah, it had us all worried that our beloved TI might be in danger. But fear not, because Valve just dropped the bomb that The International is making a comeback!
Now, picture this: the hype is real, and the countdown to TI 2024 has begun. But why Copenhagen, you ask? Well, stick around and find out why this city is stepping into the spotlight and what it means for us, the Dota 2 fanatics.
Let’s get into details and feel the pulse of The International 2024. It’s going to be epic, and Copenhagen is where the next Dota 2 champions are born!
The International 2024 – Location and Festives
In the latest Valve blog post titled “The International 2024,” the developers of Dota 2 confirmed that the prestigious tournament will return to European soil for the first time since The International 2021. Copenhagen, Denmark, will be the hosting ground for The International 2024.
The last time TI was in Europe, an Eastern European underdog, Team Spirit, was crowned as the champions. After defeating the crowd favorites, LGD Gaming, Spirit took home 18 million USD in prize money that year. They also enrolled on the list of the highest-paid Dota 2 players ever!
Now, as the gaming world turns its eyes to Copenhagen, anticipation is building not only for intense Dota 2 action but also for the festivities the city has in store for esports enthusiasts. Get ready for an epic gaming experience in the heart of Denmark!
Qualifications – What’s New?
Valve just spilled the beans on how teams are making it to The International 2024. Get this: they’re ditching the complicated stuff and going old-school with the invite system we had in the good old days of Dota 2!
Back then, it was a wild west – no fancy systems for teams to book their TI tickets. They had to bring their A-game at every LAN event, hoping to catch Valve’s eye for a direct invite to TI.
So, forget the fancy qualifications. It’s all about teams proving they’ve got the skills where it matters – in the game. Valve hit rewind, and we’re back to the raw, unpredictable days where only the best made the cut.
The Qualifiers Slots for The International 2024
Valve’s keeping things under wraps about how many qualifier slots each region will snag for The International 2024. The good news? Every region’s in the game, at least with one slot.
Here’s the buzz: there’s a chance we might see a seventh region, all thanks to Team Falcons making waves. Yup, more regions mean more action – sounds good, right?
And guess what might be making a comeback? Last-chance qualifiers! Remember Team Secret’s comeback story in 2022? They slipped in through the last chance and nearly grabbed the top spot. Those were the days!
So, while we’re waiting on the deets, who’s up for a quick Dota 2 game?
