How does The International 2024 work?

Each player is assigned one of three positions
Emblems are color-coded and points-based
There are five upgrades per Emblem

The DOTA 2 International 2024 Compendium Fantasy, or Dota2 TI allows you to collect points based on what players do during the game. Players are picked for three positions, and each has its own war banner that affects the scoring. Additionally, each position has two titles and three emblems.

A title gives general boosts, like Brawny, which increases points by about 13% if your player is using a strong hero. You can, of course, change these by selecting the banner and rerolling to better stats.

Emblems, on the other hand, are more specific and give points from 10% to 150% depending on what they focus on, and are divided into three colors: red, blue, and green. The red is focused on kill counts and personal scores, while blue boosts supportive actions, and green focuses on team-based actions. Emblems can be upgraded through five levels, and traits attached to them can either help or hurt, based on what you want to achieve.
