The International 2024 - Direct Invites and The Road to TI
www.dota2.com
Between a massive 7.36 update and Act II of Crownfall, there were a lot of big announcements vying for your attention last week, so we decided to give everybody a few days to process everything before we posted any more big Dota news. But now a new week is upon us, and we're happy to turn our focus from the in-game experience to pro Dota, with the the announcement of the six direct invites to this year's The International!

    This will be my first time attending a TI in person! Does anyone have some tips, or good things to know?

      You hope it will be your first ;) let’s see if we get tickets

      I’ll also try to go. If it’s any similar to other eSports events, bring earplugs. To put in your nose, not your ears, because it will smell of lots of sweat of people not using proper deodorant xD

        Do tickets get sold out fast or? Also iam trying to go with 2 friends, is it possible to order 3 tickets at once or is it best to order separate?

        Guess I’ll invest in some noseplugs haha

          It used to sell out very fast. But last year was an exception, there were tickets available almost until the event started.

          Might be the same this year, the price is way higher than it used to be

            Ah okay, that makes sense. I checked the prices last and thought they were a little too spicy for a 3 day event. But it’s a bit less this year, and you can pick and choose which days you want, so thats nice

          As far as I remember, they’re all sold out very quickly after announcement. But yeah I’ve never went either, it’s just what I read on Reddit over the years.

              Previously they have given early access to those buying a compendium, but it seems like they are not selling those any more. Let us hope they do something similar cos it seems like people like to buy to resell higher.
