Virtus.pro dominated the bracket and secured a spot at BetBoom Dacha, then DreamLeague Season 22, and now Riyadh Masters. Unfortunately when it came time to perform at the big events they only partly showed up, taking home disappointing results. Regionally seem to be on top, so there is still a chance for them to claim this too.

1Win was replaced by OG at ESL One Birmingham 2024 due to visa issues – a devastating turn of events for the Eastern European team over four hours. They made their entrance to Dota 2 in February 2024 with the signing of the Klim Sani4 roster and have been holding their own since.

9pandas might not be the same lineup that got them famous but they are still boasting a hefty lineup with Alexey “Solo” Berezin and Oleg “sayuw” Kalenbet supporting the team. Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin and Oleh “kaori” Medvedok are what make watching DMS worthwhile and could deliver an upset in this region.

Of the only six invites that were bestowed directly to the teams, none were awarded to any South American team.
Over the last few years South America had been climbing the ladder of regional and international success in Dota 2. Last year SA was given two slots for the regional qualifiers. With beastcoast and Evil Geniuses already locked in for the most important tournament of the year via Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) points, the region fought with a total of four teams for a shot at the Aegis of Champions!
In stark contrast to then, this year will feature only ONE team from the region – making the weight of this qualifier even heavier for the shoulders of the winning team.
Heroic announced their intentions to expand to Dota 2 in September of 2023. Much like Virtus.pro, Heroic dominated the region, seizing qualifier spots for the big events and throwing their weight around in the region but falling short on the international stage.

Following an underwhelming year that concluded with a disastrous The International 2023 run ending with a bottom four placement, beastcoast had decided to rebuild the Dota 2 team from scratch. Too often the team played second fiddle to Heroic or BOOM in many of the qualifiers where they went head-to-head.

Argentinian esports organization Leviatán stepped into the Dota 2 scene but with a roster that features only two of them being from SA. Regardless, this is quite a fearsome lineup, and while they had trouble making their mark on the scene the experience and talent on this lineup should not be underestimated.

After missing The International 2023, BOOM Esports announced they would test the South American waters. They didn’t have much success and tinkered with their roster a few times – forcing them into the open qualifiers for TI. However, they are stacked with local talent and are expected to be a big underdog coming out on top story. However, the same could be said for Midas Club and NoPing Esports. All of these teams have about the same caliber of skill, capacity, and SA flair.
The International 2024 (TI13)
The International 2024 is set to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark in September at the Royal Arena. This will mark the second time The International is coming to Europe, but the first time when, hopefully, fans will be able to attend. The first time Valve tried to bring its most prestigious tournament to Europe was in 2020 when the pandemic hit the world. TI10 was postponed for 2021 and moved from Sweden to Romania, and although tickets were sold, a new wave of coronavirus forced Valve to refund all tickets and hold the tournament in an empty stadium in Bucharest. Since then, TI moved to Singapore in 2022 and last year it returned home, to Seattle.
Qualifiers for The International 2024 continue tomorrow so stay tuned, and for more match results and updates on the go don’t forget to check out our Telegram channel.
