Team Spirit Takes Ti12 Title, Chinese Army Takes Third Place

In the 2023 DOTA2 International Invitational Tournament that ended this morning, Team Spirit finally won the Ti12 Championship with a 3:0 victory over Team GG, which is also Team Spirit’s second podium after two years, and it also tied the record of two championships held by Team OG.

In addition, two teams from China, LGD and AR, took the third place and third place respectively.
