As we near the main stage of the 13th iteration of Dota 2’s The International, viewers have been treated to some of the year’s most exciting matches. But the tournament’s biggest upset so far took place yesterday when reigning champions Team Spirit got knocked out of TI13 by their former rivals.
In a nail-biting best-of-three elimination series, the pride of the Chinese Dota 2 scene, Xtreme Gaming, defeated Team Spirit in a reverse sweep. After losing game one to the former champions, Xtreme Gaming came back hard in game two in a spectacular showing that left Team Spirit visibly shaken.
