Dota 2 The Internationational Compendium 2023 schedule
The International Compendium 2023 was made available on September 27, 2023, worldwide. Valve has not announced when it will end. Given the company noted that they are working on Arcanas for the post-TI period, it is likely going to run at least for a couple of months after the tournament concludes.
For comparison, Battle Pass 2022 began on September 1 of that year and continued till January 12, 2023.
Dota 2 The Internationational Compendium 2023 content
Steering away from the Battle Pass era, The International Compendium 2023 is markedly different. Instead of Cavern Crawl, Immortal Treasure sets, MMR doubledown tokens, Arcana sets, and the like, this year's offerings are much more streamlined.
The developers stated that this year's Compendium is built "around the pro players and the event itself."
Profile Showcase
Coming with this year's Compendium, the profile showcase is a new way for players to showcase their profile and mini-profile. It allows players the option to customize the heroes, sets, background, animated stickers, and more that they put on their profile.
This is available for free to all Dota 2 players. It is a nice touch and allows users to showcase their individual identity and creativity as best as they can in-game.
The Road to The International Challenge
Instead of the earlier weekly quests, Dota 2 Compendium 2023 players have The Road to The International Challenge this time around. It provides players with five hero options, used by an actual esports team in a match or the most-played hero of a particular player. The challenge is to win with that particular hero and complete the set conditions to move ahead with the quest.
Fantasy Evolved
Once a user has purchased the Compendium 2023, they will notice that they have the option to pick their favorite esports athlete and make a team. Valve has introduced a nuanced mechanic where players' stats can be crafted and are important to how they perform.
During TI, each weekend is "a separate round of Fantasy," with players having the option to score Compendium Points and more.
Bingo
With one Bingo card per tournament weekend, Compendium owners can participate in the popular game and complete rows and columns to earn Compendium Points.
The Oracle's Challenge
Compendium owners can earn Compendium points by predicting how the teams will stand in each group and in-game stats like which team will have the most kills by the end of the match.
