The arenas might be different, the star players might change, and every year new teams will rise while others fall. But while many things change, one thing is constant: The International remains a chronicle of the same journey, following the best Dota team in the world as they conquer every obstacle, overcome every challenge, and carve their names into the Aegis. The original TI was a five-day event, hosted on the show floor of GamesCom in Cologne.
They really feel the need to fuck with the format every single year huh? Not sure how I feel about this but let’s be honest, The International isn’t what it used to be anyway and hasn’t been for a long time. Also…
this is just an outright lie. The International 2024 was 100% a PGL product with no Valve involvement and I haven’t heard anything about things changing for this year. And yes, if you’re wondering why the quality of TI has gone down over the years it’s because Valve has been doing less and less and PGL more and more until last year when it was all PGL.
