TI3 Compendium Fantasy Guide

Introduction

The International 2013 (TI3) is the third installment in the annual Dota 2 tournament series hosted by Valve Corporation. The tournament will be held in Seattle, Washington, from August 7-11, 2013. The prize pool for TI3 is currently over $2 million, making it the largest Dota 2 tournament to date.

Fantasy Guide

One of the most popular ways to participate in TI3 is through the Compendium Fantasy game. The Compendium Fantasy game allows players to create a team of five Dota 2 players and compete against other players' teams for prizes. The players on your team earn points based on their performance in the tournament, and the team with the most points at the end of the tournament wins.

In order to help you create a winning Compendium Fantasy team, we've put together this guide. This guide will provide you with all the information you need to know about the Compendium Fantasy game, including how to create a team, how to choose players, and how to manage your team.

How to Create a Team

To create a Compendium Fantasy team, you must first purchase a Compendium. The Compendium costs $9.99 and can be purchased from the Dota 2 store. Once you have purchased a Compendium, you can create your team by clicking on the "Fantasy" tab in the Dota 2 client.

When creating your team, you will need to select five players from the pool of eligible players. The pool of eligible players includes all of the players who are participating in TI3. You can choose any five players you want, but you can only have one player from each team.

Once you have selected your five players, you will need to give your team a name and an icon. You can also choose to make your team public or private. If you make your team public, other players will be able to see your team's name, icon, and roster.

How to Choose Players

When choosing players for your Compendium Fantasy team, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

1. Player performance: The most important thing to consider when choosing players is their performance. You want to choose players who are in good form and who are likely to perform well in the tournament.
2. Team performance: Another thing to consider when choosing players is their team's performance. You want to choose players from teams that are in good form and who are likely to advance far in the tournament.
3. Price: Players are assigned a price based on their expected performance in the tournament. You will need to stay within the salary cap when choosing your players, so you will need to make some trade-offs between performance and price.

How to Manage Your Team

Once you have created your Compendium Fantasy team, you will need to manage it throughout the tournament. There are a few things you can do to manage your team, including:

• Make lineup changes: You can make lineup changes to your team at any time during the tournament. This allows you to adjust your team based on the performance of the players and the teams in the tournament.
• Use items: You can use items to give your players bonuses. Items can be purchased from the Dota 2 store.
• Bet on matches: You can bet on matches in the tournament. This allows you to win additional points for your team.

Prizes

The top teams in the Compendium Fantasy game will win prizes. The prizes include:

• First place: The first place team will win a share of the prize pool.
• Second place: The second place team will win a share of the prize pool.
• Third place: The third place team will win a share of the prize pool.
• Top 10%: The top 10% of teams will win a Compendium.
