TI13 Qualifiers: North America & South America Qualifiers Teams

Teams list for the TI13 North America (NA) qualifiers:

• Shopify Rebellion (Invited)
• Nouns (Invited)
• La Correntada (Invited)
• +5 teams from the open qualifiers

The International 2024 (TI 2024) has only one reservation spot for North America. Once home to the TI5 champions, NA finds itself in a difficult spot, with the region vying to reestablish itself as a powerhouse.

With zero direct invites at TI13, NA Dota 2 teams will engage in an intense battle to secure a spot at the crown jewel Dota 2 event.

Shopify Rebellion and Nouns have been constants in the NA scene and have been invited to the closed qualifiers. La Correntada is also invited to the closed qualifiers, but little is known about this mysterious team.

Nonetheless, one can expect Shopify Rebellion to qualify for TI13, considering their performances in the NA domestic circuit for a while.

However, it’s the TI qualifiers, and anything is possible.

Teams list for the TI13 South America (SA) qualifiers:

• Heroic
• Beastcoast
• BOOM Esports
• Midas Club
• Infinity
• Leviatan
• +6 teams from the open qualifiers

Boom Esports and Heroic have a higher chance to qualify, considering their recent surge in form and exposure to international LAN events, with bastions of earlier years, beastcoast, trying to power through their struggles.

While Midas Club has known South American names in its fold and has the potential to cause an upset, which is least likely to happen, it is Leviatan who is the dark horse. With household names like kpii and Xepher in the mix, the team will be a detriment to others, as they punch a lot of firepower.

The battle to conquer the two spots via TI13 South America (SA) qualifiers will be intense, and one can expect the games to be long (farm-oriented) and entertaining (aggressive).

TI13 North America & South America Qualifiers Schedule and Format

Details on the format and exact schedule for TI13 North America (NA) and South America (SA) qualifiers still need to be revealed. Although the schedule will be available once the open qualifiers are over, the format is likely similar to past TI qualifiers.

The format is likely to be the following:

• Group Stage

  • The top four teams advance to playoffs
• Playoffs
  • Double-elimination bracket
  • The grand final is played in a Bo5
