Earlier that same day, Team Spirit’s Dota 2 squad became champions of The International—the discipline’s premier global tournament—for the third time in the organization’s history.
Thus, Team Spirit became the first organization to win world championship titles in both Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 on the same day. The Esports World Cup victory marks another major success for the CS2 roster, which ranks among the strongest teams on the global stage.
