Post TI13 shuffle log; Confirmed roster changes for the upcoming Dota 2 season

With the end of The International 2024, the traditional post-TI shuffle period has begun.

The International 2024  has come to an end with an absolutely dominating run by Team Liquid to claim the Aegis of Champions after a 3:0 sweep through Gaimin Gladiators. Team Liquid went through the entire upper bracket without dropping a single game and even triumphed over their demons, to finally defeat GG in a grand finals after five previous failed attempts at Major events. 

But there is no rest for the wicked. Teams and players are starting to look at their options before the new Dota 2 season is expected to begin. With PGL Wallachia Season 2 scheduled for two weeks after The International, it will likely become a proving ground for new and adjusted rosters. 

Here you can find all the confirmed changes for the upcoming season and ignore the trolls, rumors, and anxiety – updated Live!
