As if there weren’t enough reasons to be excited for The International 2024, Valve has unveiled the TI13 Cosplay Competition sponsored by SteelSeries. The competition was announced today (Aug. 1), and will invite cosplayers to craft their best Dota-themed cosplays to display in Copenhagen next month for The International.
There’s a €18,500 Prize Pool, and winners will be granted a full set of SteelSeries Gear and two general admission tickets to The International 2024.

Participating contestants do not need to be event ticket holders — all registered cosplayers will attend the Pre-Judging Event near the Royal Arena. This is great news since the 3 day ticket prices are some of the heftiest Dota tickets we’ve seen, coming in at over 500 EUR. Information will be provided to all participants in the first week of September.
To enter, you should head to the SteelSeries website, where full details and rules can be found, although at the time of writing, these were non functional.
In an additional Tweet, unofficial Valve spokesperson Wykrhm Reddy outlined the perks:
“The International 2024 Cosplay Contest — Now with a prize pool of $18,500 USD and goodies.”
The cosplay competition, along with the Dota 2 short film competition, has become a staple of TI, with its showcase becoming one of the most looked-forward parts of the event. Cosplay competitions are commonplace at Dota 2 events, with both fans and talent including TeaGov have got involved. The creative side of the community can be fully realized in a truly spectacular way.
The International 2024, sometimes known as TI, will run between September 4 and September 10, 2024, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Finals will be hosted in The Royal Arena in Copenhagen. The tournament will feature 16 of the best teams from around the world now that all of the TI invites have been sent out and the regional qualifiers completed.
