How to play Fantasy League in 2023: Fantasy 2023 features and the main changes compared to last year
Fantasy League received a significant update ahead of The International 2023. It has become less random, but the element of randomness has not completely disappeared. For example, the Player Card mechanic, which often puts users at odds with each other, is gone.
Here are the main innovations in Fantasy League for The International 2023:
- Immediate access to all players
- Customisable Military Banners, where you only get points for the performance of your emblems.
- Customisable Titles, which give extra bonuses to your points.
- Updated scoring system
In simple terms, each player still has a pool of characteristics that somehow affect the Fantasy points they earn. The change this year is the ability to customize characteristics by changing Banners and Titles. You can see the process of characteristic rerolls in the screenshot below.

Fantasy League The International 2023 Fantasy League Player Selection: Group Stage
Now that we know the best Fantasy League players for all positions, we can make our team for the group stage. Here's what we've got:
It's pretty simple here - we pick the best players by position. That means that PSG Quest players TA2000 and No!ob are on the core roles, and the slot Support slot goes to Oli from Talon. Both teams, by the way, are in the same group at The International and have a great chance of making it to the next stage, so there should be plenty of points, and the values will be about the same as shown in the table.
As TI 2023 progresses, we will update Fantasy League lineups and keep you updated.
