Team Spirit Rocks Out in Unconventional Practice Session Ahead of TI23
As Dota 2 teams prepare for The International 2023, Team Spirit takes a unique approach to their training. In a recent YouTube video, the team gathers in a music studio to rock out with a customized version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
In this unorthodox video, Team Spirit members showcase their musical talents instead of playing Dota 2. After an instrumental entrance, Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov takes the vocals while other team members skillfully play their respective instruments.
Throughout the video, Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov and Denis “Larl” Sigitov show off their guitar skills, while Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naydenov and Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk maintain the rhythm on bass and drums. It’s a unique practice session that highlights the team’s versatility and camaraderie in a new way.
Team Spirit’s Recent Success and Momentum Heading into TI12
Team Spirit is considered one of the top contenders heading into TI12, thanks to their recent success and impressive performance. Despite struggling in global tournaments earlier this year, the team’s breakthrough came at the Riyadh Master 2023, where they defeated Western European powerhouses like Team Liquid to clinch the title and a cash prize of $5 million.
Building on this momentum, Team Spirit secured another victory at DreamLeague Season 21, earning an additional $300,000. Their total winnings now amount to $5.3 million, a significant accomplishment leading up to TI23.
The Importance of The International in Dota 2’s History
While TI23 is projected to have the lowest prize pool since 2013, the tournament remains incredibly meaningful for Dota 2 players. It holds a special place in the hearts of fans as the game’s World Cup, and teams like Team Spirit are eager to compete and showcase their skills on this grand stage.
