The International Grand Champions

Sep 20

Congratulations to Team Liquid, Grand Champions at The International 2024. Dropping only three games throughout their championship run, this relentless Liquid squad washed away a field of fearsome contenders to resoundingly earn their place as the finest Dota team in the world.
Team Liquid's journey to the Aegis started smoothly with a pair of 2-0 series wins over Aurora and beastcoast, but a 0-2 showing against defending champions Team Spirit reminded everyone that the path to immortality is filled with formidable foes.

Their next opponent would only prove that point further. With Liquid holding a 1-0 advantage and the Upper Bracket almost within reach, underdogs BB Team ran away with the second match of their seeding set, threatening Liquid with a much more difficult Lower Bracket path. Undaunted, Liquid leveraged early action in game three to build an avalanching lead and ultimately secure their place in the Upper Bracket to begin the next stage.

Once there, the eventual champions never looked back. Their heroes were almost unkillable in a dominating 2-0 win over Xtreme Gaming, with only a single death amongst them in game two. Carrying that momentum forward, they opened their series on the main stage against Cloud9 with another stomp. Game two turned into a closer back-and-forth fight, but Liquid rode an epic late game teamwipe to victory and a place in the Upper Bracket Final against a familiar opponent — and constant obstacle in their path — the dangerous Gaimin Gladiators.

Flipping precedent, Liquid withstood Gaimin's early aggression and took the series 2-0, marching convincingly into the Grand Final. After Gaimin battled their way back for a rematch, Team Liquid took the chance to demonstrate that the results of the first matchup were no fluke. They dispatched their old nemesis in decisive 3-0 fashion to secure the Aegis and a place in Dota 2 history.

As bearers of the ultimate symbol of victory, these names shall forever be inscribed upon the Aegis of Champions:

2024 - Team Liquid

Got punished with single draft. Waiting 15 minutes for a match. Do I go back to LOL?

Hello there. League Of Legends player here. I went afk in a match and was punished with single draft. The problem is..... I've been in queue for over 15 minutes now, and I can't find a match at all.

✔ Ego simulator
✔ Patience simulator
✔ Instant decision-making simulator
✔ Work environment simulator
✔ Social discrepancy simulator
✔ Anxiety simulator
✔ A game with noticeable RTS elements, not bad.
✔ Anger management simulator
✔ Team building simulator

A highly complex game with weird mechanics. It is a hard game because it's too long and the learning curve is too vast for a starter player. Recommended but play with precaution because it can literally ruin your life or save your life. Double edged sword to say at least.

Play this, not league: and you will be happier about it in the long term. I've got 10000 hours in league as well, and this is the better game but dota needs to do better with cinematics and new content/ heroes. Not like a patch every two weeks type deal but i think a patch ever few months at the leaste would keep things more fresh. Once you learnt he game, and what heros and items do, it feels very healthy.

DOTA 2 is a complex and highly strategic multiplayer online battle arena game that rewards skill, teamwork, and adaptability. With its deep hero pool, intricate mechanics, and constantly evolving meta, every match feels unique. However, the steep learning curve and competitive nature can be intimidating for newcomers. For those willing to invest the time, it’s an endlessly rewarding experience with one of the most passionate gaming communities.

The International: Streams, Secret Shop, and More

Sep 3

The best Dota players in the world have arrived in Copenhagen and the games are about to begin. That's right: The Road to TI's Group Stage is officially underway for The International 2024.

There's a lot of fun stuff to cover before the event starts, and not a lot of time, so we're gonna stop introducing the information and start the informing. Let's get to it.

Tournament Streams

Group Stage is always glorious chaos. This year, almost fifty games will be played in the first two days alone, spread across three streams for each of the four official broadcast languages:

After Group Stage wraps up, starting Friday, September 6th, both The Road to the International and The International itself will broadcast on one stream per official language:

If you're looking for unofficial languages, we've got those, too. We've handed out more than a dozen broadcast licenses, ranging from Bulgarian to Vietnamese, so check in with your local Dota community to find the best way to watch online.

And as always, anyone is welcome to join in on the streaming fun. We only ask that you follow our community streaming guidelines.

The Secret Shop

The International Secret Shop is once again open for business. We've got everything from mouse pads to jerseys to a real-life Toy Pudge plush, and so much more. There are two separate storefronts — We Are Nations offers both US deliveries[na.dota2secretshop.com] and international deliveries[int.dota2secretshop.com], and Perfect World offers domestic China deliveries[wmsjdj.tmall.com] and international deliveries[pwrdesports.aliexpress.com].

Tickets and Badges

Ground-floor tickets for The International have sold out, and even arena seats are mostly gone, but there are still a few left[www.ticketmaster.dk\].

For attendees:

What Else?

That's it for now. Honestly, that was a lot of information, and we're not going to lie, there might even be more on the way. But for now, don't worry about it. Just sit back, relax, and reread this blog post until you can recite it phonetically. We'll be calling everyone personally to verify you've got it memorized. You got this! Talk soon.

Finally CC cannot be gifted anymore !
