The Road to The International has officially concluded

This year, the main Dota 2 tournament was divided into two parts: the Road to The International and The International 2023 itself. The Road to TI officially concluded, selecting the top 8 teams to compete for the championship title.

The teams that remain at The International 2023 are:

• Team Spirit

• Team Liquid

• LGD Gaming

• Azure Ray

• Nouns

• Gaimin Gladiators

• BetBoom Team

• Virtus.pro

The grand part of the tournament

The highly anticipated part of the championship, the Finals Weekend, will commence on October 27th. All matches will take place in a grand setting at the Climate Pledge Arena, where Gabe Newell will personally welcome the esports athletes and fans to the premier Dota 2 esports event of the year.

Who will win The International 2023?

The tournament this year has presented numerous surprises. It was unexpected for viewers that last year's champions, Tundra Esports, were eliminated from the championship, as were renowned teams such as Entity, 9 Pandas, and Talon Esports. Equally surprising was the fact that newcomers Nouns managed to break through to the final part of the tournament.

However, among all the teams, analysts are highlighting two favorites, namely Team Spirit and LGD Gaming. Both teams have shown an incredible level of play at TI12. Spirit even managed to achieve a series of 10 consecutive wins, a feat accomplished by only 5 teams in the history of the championship. Yet the Chinese team also demonstrates a level of mastery at the highest level, even though China has not won TI in 7 years.

Many analysts and fans believe that it will be Team Spirit and LGD Gaming who will face off in the grand final of The International 2023.
