The final of the Dota 2 The International 2023 tournament was nice, not only a real big sport, but also a great show, and the presence of four Russians is just ultra cool, said Alexander Gorbachenko, CEO of the Intercontinental eSports League, ex-president of the Russian and Moscow Computer Sports Federations.
On Sunday in Seattle, Team Spirit, which includes Russians Denis Larl Sigitov, Magomed Collapse Khalilov and Yaroslav Miposhka Naydenov, as well as Ukrainians Ilya Yatoro Mulyarchuk and Miroslav Mira Kolpakov, defeated the Gaimin Gladiators on three maps with a score of 3-0 . The winners won approximately $1.4 million. Another Russian plays in the Gaimin Gladiators – Anton Dyrachyo Shkredov.
— The finale of The International turned out to be absolutely enchanting. Dota 2 matches at this level are so dramatic, dynamic and full of emotion. I was ready to look at all 5 cards. In terms of level of play, Team Spirit’s e-sportsmen proved worthy of victory, and the Gladiators proved to be very good opponents.
I would like to express my deepest respect to the leadership of Team Spirit. This season has been extremely difficult for them in every way. But the way they believed in Larl and the way the team managed to transform the game led to a great result. Just well done!
Of course, the presence of four Russians in the final is super cool! The only thing cooler is teams made up of Russians and Russian teams themselves, but I think that’s a question for the future. The official Russian-language broadcast deserves special thanks. The international broadcast showed pabstumps from Moscow, Samara, Kazan and even Bishkek. I liked the team of commentators and analysts, it was very interesting.
In general, I watched this tournament with great pleasure and received a powerful charge of good mood. The International is not only a great sport, but also a great spectacle,” Gorbachenko told .
In 2021, Team Spirit has already won The International with a prize pool of $40 million. Thus, the Russian-Ukrainian team became the second in the history of Dota 2 after the European team OG, which managed to win The International for the second time.
