Team Spirit Crowned Champions of Eastern Europe Dota Pro Circuit Winter Tour Regional Finals
After a surprising loss in the opening round, Team Spirit bounced back with a powerful performance, winning seven consecutive games and sweeping Virtus.pro to claim the top prize at the Eastern Europe 2022 Dota Pro Circuit Winter Tour Regional Finals.
Spirit proved to be one of the most dominant teams in their region during the Winter Tour’s regional league stage. They lost only a single game and showcased their dynamic gameplay that led them to victory at The International 10.
However, their dominance was disrupted in the first round of the Regional Finals when HellRaisers upset Spirit with a strong 2-1 showing. This sent the reigning champions down to the lower bracket, where they faced the second-seeded PuckChamp after Virtus.pro pulled off their own upset.
Despite the initial loss, Spirit bounced back with seven straight wins and three consecutive series sweeps to secure victory in the competition. Throughout this run, Spirit rarely trailed, with only one game against VP in the grand finals being relatively close.
Even when faced with VP, who were riding high after two impressive series wins, Spirit swiftly dealt with them. Yatoro and TORONTOTOKYO were unstoppable forces, crushing anyone in their path.
Collapse was excellent as always, rotating between heroes such as Outworld Destroyer, Spirit Breaker, and Axe. His play opened the door for his core players to accumulate kills and deal more damage than the entire enemy team. Game three, the closest in the series, showcased Spirit’s ability to play from behind and dominate the final 10 minutes, leading them to a 2-0 advantage.
With this victory, Spirit claimed a prize of $50,000 and earned 250 DPC points. They now share the top spot in the DPC Rankings with PSG.LGD. VP also received $25,000 and 130 DPC points for their second-place finish.
