Team Spirit dominates Dota 2\u2019s The International 2023: Final results ValveDOTA 2\u2019s TI 2023 event has now reached its end with Team Spirit obliterating Gaimin Gladiators 3-0 in the Grand Final. If you missed any of the action, we\u2019ve got you covered here with a full recap of how it all unfolded. The International 2023 brought 20 of the world\u2019s best Dota 2 teams together for one final round after a long Dota Pro Circuit season with three tours, each leading to a Major event. Ultimately, only one team could stand tall when all was said and done. Team Spirit stormed their way through the Main Event before wiping the floor with Gaimin Gladiators in the Grand Final to etch their spot in the history books. The twelfth edition of The International took place in Seattle, close to Valve\u2019s headquarters. It was the first TI held in North America since 2018 and marked the event\u2019s return to Seattle, which hosted every edition between 2012 and 2017. Last year\u2019s event in Singapore saw Tundra Esports crowned the world champion after beating Team Secret in the grand final. Tundra took home over $8.5 million, almost half of the event\u2019s $18,930,775 prize pool. Below you can find everything you need to know to catch up on The International 2023.

Instead, Valve will continue along the path that started with the New Frontiers update. Cosmetic content will become secondary as Valve will focus on rolling out \u201ca variety of exciting updates\u201d that will keep the community interested. \u201cMost Dota players never buy a Battle Pass and never get any rewards from it,\u201d Valve acknowledged. After months of waiting, Valve finally released the Compendium on September 27, and, as many had predicted, the Dota 2 community wasn\u2019t pleased, with many publicly expressing their disappointment. It is no surprise, then, that TI12 will likely feature the lowest prize pool since 2015 as players simply didn\u2019t seem interested in purchasing the Compendium ahead of The International 2023. At the conclusion of the tournament, the TI12 prize pool stood at $3.14 million. Stream In an October 12 blog post, Valve announced all the streaming options available for TI 2023. The tournament was broadcasted on Twitch, YouTube, and SteamTV, with the main stream embedded below for your convenience.
