As Dota 2 teams prepare for The International 2023, Team Spirit takes a unique approach to their bootcamp. In a recent YouTube video, the team showcases their musical talents by jamming to a customized version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” This unconventional practice session sets them apart from the rest.
The video features Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov on vocals, accompanied by Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov and Denis “Larl” Sigitov on guitars. Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naydenov handles the bass, while Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk keeps the rhythm on drums. Together, they create a unique and entertaining performance.
Despite their musical endeavors, Team Spirit is not to be underestimated in the upcoming TI12. They have been performing exceptionally well in recent months, with notable victories at the Riyadh Master 2023 and DreamLeague Season 21. These successes have earned them a total of $5.3 million in winnings, making them strong contenders for the tournament.
While the prize pool for TI 2023 may be lower than expected, the tournament remains highly anticipated by players and fans alike. It holds a special place in the hearts of Dota 2 enthusiasts as the game’s equivalent of the World Cup.
