Man Spirit has been performing WAY too well right now. They just defeated Secret 2-1 right now and now their momentum just got way scarier than before. Secret had a nice first game, they dominated Spirit early on and managed to ride on that till late game. Managed to watch midway in 2nd game and even though there wasn't much happening, Spirit's carries were ahead of Secrets when I left. Came back a bit later to see the third game and Spirit dominating Secret. Secret tried ngl, but I guess Spirit had that momentum and they were pretty confident on the plays after that good 2nd game.

Yeah i would have never thought that team spirit would come this far to be honest i had them picked as one of the teams that would immediately be eliminated after the group stage in the dota 2 ingame prediction  . Now they have made their way through the whole lower bracket right into the Grand Final of the TI, absolutely amazing. I would still say though that PSG.LGD is the big favorite in the Grand Final, they were the big favorite of most before the TI started and so far they have absolutely delivered, but of course i also thought that VP would be the big favorite against team spirit and the same is true for Team secret so we will see.

Team Spirit did it! Grand Final against PSG.LGD!


one is low stake, the other one is medium stake (3-0 from lgd? you never know)

Man, Team Spirit, the underdog in the entire Lower Bracket, beat OG, IG and Team Secret...how could you not root for them in the Final?

While I am quite aware that game 3 is on its way (LGD vs TEAM SPIRIT), can I just make a comment on how Team Spirit managed to dictate the pace of the game on the last 2 games? In game 1, Naga was so far ahead of everyone in his farm in which her illusions controlled most of the map. Ursa did not stand a chance along with the ensnare aghs of Naga.

On game 2, what can I say? MAGNUS GOD performance showed by Collapse. He made the heroes of LGD fear visibility on the map. With those constant de-wards and night vision, they were able to pick LGD's heroes 1 by 1 with that skewer combo.

I am all in for Team Spirit on this ride. I may have doubted them at first due to their experience but they have shown significant team potential and play with those two games.

They did a great job and now they are one win away to claim the throne against PSG.
I'm quiet disappointed on how PSG handle their two matches, if they want to stay alive they must do everything now and remain focus. Most probably the odds are now in favor to Team Spirit, though the game is still not over. I'm still rooting for PSG on this final match up.

True, First game Spirit got completely countered, Yatoro with the Naga pick kind of overwhelmed them and they failed to actually stop him from trying to, well you know, become the one that stops them, hence why they pretty much lost. Second game though, they had the chance they were playing pretty niche early on BUT Torontotokyo mid game with vision control with gem made controlling the map easier, and Collapse late game just pretty much well, became a God. They tried using NP to put pressure but imo, it was simply too late. The map was already under control of Spirit and even though Morph and ES had their stuff, Collapse picking their team off slowly made them lose quite a lot.

that was key in game1 and game2, vision...they had no vision whatsoever in game 3 and Tinker completely destroyed them

LOL i just saw Ame right inside the fountain 1v3 and he still was still able to escape right before TS called gg 😂🤣🤣 LGD looked solid in this game

My favorite moment in map 3 was when Miposhka was clearing some creeps deep inside his base and Spectre just appeared, 3 shot him and disappeared again all inside a second or two. Just perfectly shows you how PSG.LGD finally won vision battle, there was no safe spot for Spirit in map 3. I managed to place a small bet on PSG victory @3.2 during 3rd map, hopefully this momentum change will help push them forward.

Would love for Spirit to get it as big underdogs but money is money so I am rooting for PSG

Game four on the way guys. What do you think about the current pick of TS? Knowing they pick two assassin heroes with axe as their tank, i think PSG.LGD should capitalize on this in the early game and grab the W as early as possible.

They suffer already on this pick with only 1 kill on Game 4. They might experience a reverse sweep on this TI10 Grand finals because they seems lose composure to close the game. LGD is just eating them alive by capitalising there mistake. I think they should secure Magnus pick on Game 5. LGD got this but still a good run on TS. Game 4 is very one sided match. LOL

[hanspeter77]

today some not so big matches ^^
Team One vs ATK , ATK gone be destroyed ^^ im think they lose with 2-3 points ^^
Triumph vs Bad News Bears  Bears should win this match they play a bit better than triumph.
Extra Salt vs Party Astronauts ui here the same like ATK they will lose for sure.

So PSG Team Spirit are our Dota 2 International 10 2021 Champions. Who would have thought that they would make it this far. Starting at the tournament they were considered as underdogs but coming up all the way and to defeat the consistent performers like PSG and Team Secret is really something. Gotta hand it to them. They improved throughout the tournament I must say.

Congratulations Team Spirit on managing to complete there Cinderella Run on this TI. Honestly I can't believe that they really beat LGD with a strong draft. TS momentum really help to win this fight.

Absolutely crazy that they really managed to pull it off and win the TI. Absolutely no one expected them to win this i would guess. After every roudn that they have won against VP, OG, or Team secret i was always like "ok crazy that they won this but they will surely lose in the next round against x" but they just kept on winning.
They won the first 2 rounds in the grand final but then PSG.LGD fought back and then i was again like "Ok now it is 2- and PSG.LGD has the clear advantage but then in game 5 Team Spirit managed to counter the strongest strategy of LGD with Tiny and Lycan and managed to win.

It started after beating OG and now they are the champions. I’m still disappointed on how SGD plays in the finals but its already over, the underdog made a strong statement that they are the team to beat and it happened. Congrats to Team Spirit, and to those who took the risk ok placing their bet for Team Spirit.

There's no really immortal team. Just looking at the past TI champs, they no longer can stand and all of them became simple players again and a lot of them have already retired. But I think if it's the main cast of OG, it will be a different story.

That's always the situation when a team has lost, they'll either be sad or be fine and accept it later on that they've lost.

We'll see if Team Secret will stop the domination of Team Spirit tomorrow.

Sad story for OG really, it was like they were kings yesterday and suddenly they discovered today that they aren't kings today anymore. It's nothing new ig, but the story behind their team was pretty amazing if you look back on it imo.

Kinda hyped for Spirit vs TS tbh, I know a lot of people are thinking that TS has a higher chance of winning but there's still that hope for me where Spirit just dominates them you know? I know Secret has way more experience but Spirit has shown their, well, "Spirit" even against other teams after all, I don't expect Secret to have an easy time with trying to defeat Spirit right now. Hopefully, Spirit keeps up their performance just like in their past games.

That's okay and they knew that there's going to be another team that will stand them out. It's intense grand finals, a straight 2 wins for Team Spirit and then a straight 2-win comeback for PSG.LGD too.

But at the end of it, it's still Team Spirit that has won the series. It was such nice finals and hype grand finals. TS is very underrated, an underdog and they've won the TI10!

Congratulations to those that have predicted them win.

Allu is due to stand in AWP for complexity which will be an upgrade for them I think, if they gain some momentum in their games it might make games alot more interesting in the outcomes.
   Bad news bears are running over the top of TeamOne, they seem to have the map advantage over their opponent even if it did goto 3 maps they should be able to take it.   At present I would only guess 2 maps happens, they making their enemy look like lemmings and not alot of teams are so great at resetting and coming back from a bad map loss..

There we have it! We are very privileged to witness 5 games of pure action and showcase of skill from both teams.

Games 1 and 2 showed the confidence of Team Spirit in their draft and skill. The dominance of Yotoro's farm as Naga and Luna showed significant potential as he was ahead of everyone.

Games 3 and 4 showcased the experience of LGD and their individual skill as players. The last pick of Tinker destroyed the draft of TS in which it held PA obsolete to the game.

Game 5 was just really everything that we could imagine but Collapse's Magnus changed and turned the tide of the battle. The first ten (10) minutes were in favor of LGD's side as they were ahead of the net worth. But it all changed once Magnus got his blink and shard on where they were picking heroes like it's a toy museum. Similar in their game against OG, the tiny+lycan draft was unable to match the prowess of Magnus and TB.

Congratulations for TS for their victory and to all betters who won!

They got outdrafted hard in the last game, the supporting duo of Team Spirit is just too good and their versatile picks paid off. I also thought LGD will complete the reverse sweep but after the drafting phase, I already knew LGD will have a hard time against Team Spirit since they're lacking crowd control.

[Wexnident]

Missed the last 2 games but was there for the early ones where Spirit was Dominating LGD. I honestly thought a comeback was really happening since LGD just dominated that 3rd game with the undying tinker pick, especially the undying which really helped clutch the saves every time Spirit tried to pick someone off early on. Couldn't watch the 4th and 5th game but seeing as the talks were about Collapse and his Magnus, I can imagine what kind of happened. Congratulations to Team Spirit!

True, LGD allow TS to secure magnus without any hard counter on its CC. LGD is too confident on there Tiny-Lycan strategy which is useless to a wyvern and bane support. I think LGD thinks that TS is already crumbling that's why they let them choose there comfortable hero.

So bad for Ame, His Aegis always denied on a TI grand finals game 5 twice on his career.
