I write about esports, competitive games and the creator economy. I’ve been covering esports for over 10 years writing for many top publications and have provided consultancy services for some international brands entering the industry.
The announcement of the location and month of The International 2024, which drops the numbered format which would make this The International 13, was made in a surprisewebsite. Most fans were not expecting any info on The International for months given the change in the pro scene that means it will be the only tournament Valve has a hand in this year.
However, the announcement is welcome news, especially for those of us in Europe who have not had the chance to attend The International since its first iteration back in 2011, when it was a part of the Gamescom trade show in Cologne, Germany. TI was supposed to be held in Stockholm in 2020 and then again in 2021, but the pandemic put an end to any hopes of a Swedish TI.
Exact dates for the tournament were not revealed, but the blog post did mention that it would kick off in September, which is slightly earlier than it has been in recent years. This could be the start of a change to move TI back to late summer, with the event traditionally being held in August. We also know that the main event at least, will take place at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, a location that has hosted a lot of esports events over the years, including theValve also used the blog post to announce that there will be 16 teams competing at the event, and direct invites to the tournament will return along with open qualifiers.
