The fight for the Aegis has reached the top 8 at TI13.
The International 2024 (TI13) is only three days away from crowning a new champion.
At least not this year.
The competition has been close, with no particular team looking like the favorites.
Till this point, 101 games have been played behind closed doors and an interesting tournament meta has developed.
As is often the case in long tournaments, the meta has evolved as the tournament has progressed.
These heroes are bound to have a major impact in the final three days as well.

Players tend to max out Drinking Buddies at level 7, at which it provides 120 damage.
That is a lot of damage in the early game!
For early rotations, the facet increases the chances of a kill significantly.
Drinking Buddies has a range of 900, which is insane to begin with.
This is one facet that will definitely be nerfed in the balance patch after TI13.
Besides that, Disseminate is a great team fight ability bolstered by his popular facet Promulgate.
Disseminate can also be used defensively to increase an allys max HP with Promulgate.
