Team Spirit emerged victorious in the 21st edition of DreamLeague, securing a flawless victory over Shopify Rebellion with a 3-0 win. This impressive performance has firmly placed them in the conversation for The International 12, solidifying their status as serious contenders for the upcoming tournament.
While Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid, both considered strong contenders for TI12, were eliminated early on, this opened up opportunities for other teams to make their mark in the playoffs. Team Spirit capitalized on this, following up their Riyadh Masters 2023 victory with another impressive upper bracket run in this non-DPC competition.
Shopify Rebellion, who had shown promise throughout the tournament, hoped to break their “tier 1 curse” and secure their first top-tier event win. Despite a strong performance in the group stage and a win over BetBoom Team, they were unable to overcome Team Spirit in the grand final. The 3-0 stomp served as a reminder of Team Spirit’s dominance, with their exceptional teamfighting and strategic play leading to a clean sweep.
Miposhka, a key player for Team Spirit, has now surpassed KuroKy in all-time prize money earnings, climbing to sixth place in the all-time standings. With The International just around the corner, Team Spirit’s current form and experience make them a formidable force, promising thrilling clashes in Dota esports’ most prestigious event.
