Maelstorm compiled a tier list of teams for TI13

Commentator Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov shared his thoughts on the upcoming Dota 2 major championship, which will commence in a few days in Denmark. He noted that no teams will be eliminated from the group stage, and the top team from one group will face a top 3/4 team from another group in the playoffs.

Kuzminov addressed a common question about which group is stronger, stating that it is not a major concern. He explained that if a team is in a strong group, their opponents in the playoffs will not necessarily be as strong, and even if they lose, they still have a chance in the lower bracket. He emphasised that the key factors are the team's form and progress throughout the tournament, which will be closely monitored.

The International 2024 will take place from 4 to 15 September in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tournament will feature 16 teams, with a base prize pool of $1.6 million.
