The road to Dota 2's The International 2024 is over. Six teams have already secured their spots via direct invite thanks to their form throughout the calendar year, but there were still 10 spots left for aspiring squads via the regional closed qualifiers.

After the invitations, the remaining slots were divided among each major region: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, China, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia. No team wanted to miss out on a ticket to TI, the biggest tournament in Dota’s illustrious circuit. Here’s everything you need to know about the Dota 2 TI 2024 closed qualifiers.

Despite the fans cheering Arteezy on, the experienced Canadian carry couldn’t get the job done as the nouns took revenge with a 3-0 final victory. The nouns have failed to make big waves in the top events they’ve competed in this year, but have proven to be the best in the region with back-to-back qualifying wins on Shopify for Riyadh Masters and TI 2024.

Like Shopify, Azure Ray couldn’t win against the young boys, losing both chances to qualify for TI to Team Zero and G2 x iG. G2’s Chinese Dota team has made many LAN appearances this year, while Xtreme Gaming’s second-tier team, Team Zero, has yet to compete in a major tournament outside of China.
