Where did it go wrong? Mira discusses the collapse of Team Spirit at TI11
Winning a TI often causes teams to underperform during the following year due to a loss of motivation. This wasn’t the case for Team Spirit, though, as the team went on to have another dominant streak after winning TI10.
Spirit won the Arlington Major and finished second at Riyadh Masters in 2022. Combined with a relatively successful season in their regional DPC league, Spirit came into TI11 as one of the favorites, only to bomb out of the tournament after a best-of-one versus BOOM Esports, a team that was counted out of the tournament.
