During the group stage, teams will compete in a round-robin format with best-of-2 matches. Following this, all teams will advance to the tiebreaker stage, where they will play best-of-3 matches for a chance to secure a spot in the playoffs. The top teams from Groups A and B will select their opponents from those finishing in third and fourth place in the opposite groups, with the remaining matchups being determined automatically. The same process applies to Groups C and D.
The winners of the tiebreaker matches will enter the upper bracket of the playoffs, while the losers will proceed to the lower bracket. All matches in the decisive stage, except the grand final, will be played in a best-of-3 format. The grand final will be a best-of-5 series, determined by the first team to secure three victories.
The International 2024 will take place from 4th to 15th September in Copenhagen. As of the latest update, the prize pool for the tournament stands at $2.35 million and continues to grow through compendium sales and levels.
