No other event rivals The International.
But can they do it?
The International Champions who came from lower brackets
Favorites; Curse or Blessing?
However, typically it isn’t so easy for the favourites to become the champions at The International.
The pressure is at the highest level, and every team is gunning for you.
But just like the other two, Liquid crashed and burned with a 7-8th position finish.
Team Liquid quickly became one of the top household names in Dota 2.
Claiming title after title.
They took first in their group to seed into the upper brackets but were dropped immediately byInvictus Gaming.
Before this, all the teams that have won have been a part of the upper bracket finals.
This definitely gives the team an advantage.
Don’t believe it?
Just look at OG twice!
In both 2018 and 2019 andWings Gamingin 2016.
In 2021Team Spiritwere the underdogs.
Once at TI10, things didn’t start out exactly the best for them.
And then something clicked.
They were immediately knocked down to the lower brackets by Invictus Gaming in a 2:1 loss.
All Team Spirit kept saying was they were just there to have fun.
Can Xtreme Gaming, Team Falcons, or Team Spirit do the same?
Well, the obvious answer is that Team Spirit absolutely can do it.
They’ve done it before and they can do it again.
And not only that, but they are literally PROS at winning TI.
This team came back in 2022 to claim the title a second time!
But what about the others?
So we know that twice before teams bounced back from the lower bracket round 2 to take the Aegis.
We know that it has happened before for both the underdogs and to favourites.
Team Falcons have been flexing their dominance all season long.
They just need to confirm that they don’t choke.
Zixing XinQ Zhao is an atypical and aggressive POS 4 beast is is expected to wreak havoc.
They have the experience and the talent to do it.
