Dota 2 the International 2023 Live Updates: TI 2023 Schedule, Scores, and Standings

The International has arrived, featuring a significant shift in format and various surprises as 20 teams vie for the Aegis of Champions in Seattle.

Despite the challenges and uncertainties surrounding this event, it remains the pinnacle of Dota 2. To stay informed about the schedule, scores, and standings of TI 2023, viewers will need to stay engaged.

Valve is introducing a novel approach this year, moving away from the traditional battle pass and familiar Dota format, which has left some fans disappointed and led to backlash regarding the new Compendium. This shift has also had a detrimental effect on TI12’s prize pool, as it has experienced the slowest growth in nearly a decade.

Nonetheless, the highest level of competition continues to attract attention, with teams from across the globe putting on a captivating display as they compete for the Aegis. If you wish to stay updated on all the Dota 2 action, we have prepared a comprehensive guide for TI 2023, providing live updates on schedules, scores, standings, and more.

The International 2023: All TI 2023 dates, times, and details

The International 2023 began on Oct. 12 but has been split into two distinct phases across three weekends. 

The full event will run from Oct. 12 to 15 for The Road to The International, Oct. 20 to 22 for the playoffs, and Oct. 27 to 29 for finals weekend.

Matches will have varying start times, but most of the first Dota 2 series for each day begins around 12pm CT, with pre-show coverage starting a bit before the matches.

How does The International 2023’s new Dota 2 format work?

Valve has shuffled several major elements of The International around for TI 2023, reworking the group stage to feature four groups of five and adding an additional seeding stage for the playoffs. The entire event has also been split into two distinct parts—The Road to The International and The International itself.

The Road to TI includes two phases, the group stage and the seeding decider, which runs on the first weekend. That is followed by the TI 2023 Main Event, which includes both playoffs and finals weekends back-to-back. 

In Phase One of the Road to The International, each of the four groups plays out four round-robin best-of-twos each over two days. The fifth-placed team at the end of this phase will be eliminated from the tournament—with tiebreakers decided in best-of-three series until a clear fifth place is named. 

The remaining four teams from each group will be reseeded into a final best-of-three matchup, with the top two teams playing one of the third/fourth-ranked teams in another group. The winners of these best-of-threes will start their playoff run in the upper bracket, while the losers must face the lower bracket of The International immediately thereafter—putting them one loss away from elimination.

After that, the playoffs will run like a standard Dota tournament for the remaining 16 teams, with eight teams in the upper bracket and lower bracket. Every series in the playoffs will be best-of-three, which is a change from previous TI formats, with only the grand finals being a best-of-five, as is standard.
