Dota 2 is entering a period of uncertainty as Valve makes changes to how it supports the game and its competitive scene for the upcoming 2024 season. This means that the post-The International 2023 roster shuffle could have a different vibe compared to previous years. With the removal of the Dota Pro Circuit and regional leagues, teams may be more inclined to make big moves and sign impactful players.

With The International 2023 concluded, teams are now preparing for the post-TI12 roster shuffle. However, with the uncertainty surrounding the future of Dota 2 and the removal of the Dota Pro Circuit, the upcoming season is filled with questions. Valve has not yet provided details on how invites for TI13 will be handled and if DPC points will still play a role in determining event participation. This could potentially lead to more player movement in 2024. While we await further information, teams are expected to approach the roster shuffle cautiously, anticipating some form of roster lock. Stay updated with the latest roster moves, signings, and transfers as they happen.
